The original source of umami, the "fifth flavour" first identified in 1908, whole-leaf kombu / kelp adds a superb deep rich flavour to broths, soups and stocks. Kombu can improve digestion and helps to soften pulses and grains during both soaking and cooking. |
Kombu kelp strips provide a naturally smooth flavour enhancer and are used to infuse broths, stocks and soups. They're especially highly prized in Japanese cuisine and are the key ingredient of dashi stock, which translates 'savoury deliciousness' and provides a pure umami hit.
Mara Seaweed is harvested sustainably from the pure, wild waters around Scotland and Ireland. To avoid contamination, the seaweed is packed into sealed sacks before being brought up the beach and delivered fresh, directly to the factory. Mara Seaweed is picked and processed within 24 hours to lock in flavour, ensure quality and secure maximum nutritional benefits.
Kombu and kelp are both names for the brown seaweed Laminaria digitata.
Use Kombu Kelp Strips during cooking, and take out before serving. Think of them as the stock cubes of the sea. Whether you’re making traditional lentil soup or dashi stock for ramen, kelp is a fantastic natural flavour enhancer.
A strip of Kombu will soften grains and pulses, and give stews and sauces body. Try it when soaking dried beans for an unbeatable depth of flavour.

14 grains, seeds, pulses and flowers reflecting the diversity of crop and wild plants one might find in and by a field. |
Created by Vanessa Kimbell of the Sourdough School and blended here at the Bean Store from grains and seeds grown by UK farmers, this botanical base mix is designed for home milling and use in sweet and savoury sourdough baking.
Botanical Blend No2 is the first of several blends we plan to offer, all are the culmination of years of research by Vanessa into the workings of the gut microbiome, the process of wild yeast fermentation and the art of baking for flavour and nutrition. They reflect the diversity we need to see in fields and in our diets.
Any home baker can mill and add the blend to their bakes, bringing extra fragrance, flavour and nutrition. However, the blend is best used in conjunction with The Sourdough School: Sweet Baking which can be bought separately (with a £5 Hodmedod voucher) or with the blend (without a Hodmedod voucher, but with a £6 discount).
This mix has been created for home milling and baking, every box of Botanical Blend No2 - Meadow comes with a printed information sheet from the Sourdough School. You can download the information sheet here.
