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.
100% Pure Kelp (Laminaria digitata)

Wakelyns organic garlic has now sold out for this year, sorry! The perfect accompaniment to our beans (or peas or lentils or...): a few cloves (or a whole bulb) slowly cooked with your soaked pulses, some stock, a few herbs… |
RealVeg work a few alleys between the fruit trees near the farmhouse at Wakelyns. The CSA structure they use means their customers take a simple share of the harvest, to share the risks and the rewards of growing. They also help on the land, planting, weeding, harvesting. Not customers in the usual sense - it’s a brilliant way of doing things.
This year and last year RealVeg set aside a bit of ground to grow garlic. In the spirit of the CSA model we've agreed to share the risk - whatever they grow, we’ll buy. They grew A LOT, but it turns out lots of people wanted delicious garlic (some even made it up to Small Food Bakery in Nottingham), so the ‘risk’ wasn’t such a risk after all - it was more a promise that enabled something brilliant to happen.
Do you want to share the reward with us? We have a few hundred bulbs available - order while stocks last!
And if you’d like to find out more about CSA check out the CSA Network UK. Another great working example of a CSA is Norwich Farmshare. We think of Norwich FarmShare as our sister enterprise as, like Hodmedod, they grew out of the Norwich Resilient Food Project, a community-led effort to create a more diverse, resilient food system for Norwich.
Wakelyns garlic is deliciously aromatic and pungent. Use like any garlic bulb.
