Dried Welsh sugar kelp seaweed (10g)

This delicious sounding seaweed is a savoury addition to soups, broths and stews. A similar species to Kombu, that is commonly used in Japanese cuisine to make Dashi.

Did you know sugar kelp was once used to give a weather forecast? Dried fronds would be hung outside and used to predict the weather using the air humidity. If the frond stayed dry, the day would be fine; if it softened and went limp, rain was on the way.
