Sweet Kombu

Sweet kombu (Laminaria saccharina), also called sugar kelp, is found on rocky coastlines of cool, temperate zones across Europe from the North Atlantic coast to the Baltic Sea and the western Mediterranean as well as in Asia and America. The green-brown seaweed reaches up to 3m in length and thrives on the shoreline and in shallow waters at depths of up to 20,. It is predominantly found growing on rocks and mussel shells.

The algae's name hints at its slightly sweet flavour. Used for seasoning, but also as a garnish, sweet kombu is highly valued for its unique flavour and nutritional properties and is used in many different ways in kitchens all over the world.

Our high-quality sweet kombu seaweed is sourced from a family business who cultivates seaweed in seawater cultures in the remote northwest of Ireland. The harvesting area is partly located in a protected area called the Special Area of Conservation (SAC), which sets strict conditions for harvesting in order to respect and protect the environment. The water quality of Donegal Bay is also regularly tested by the government; several beaches in the bay have been awarded for having the best water quality.

Due to the strong tides and rough seas, the harvesting season is restricted to occur at low tide for a only few weeks each year. Beginning in March, dulse grows in the lower intertidal area on rocks and shells, but can also be found on strands of other types of seaweed.

The seaweed is carefully harvested and sorted by hand and then gently dried with a dehumidifier at temperatures below 40°C. This careful process ensures that the unique flavour and nutrients are preserved.
