Kombu, rehydrated (unsalted)
Kombu, rehydrated (unsalted) is a type of edible kelp commonly used in Japanese and other East Asian cuisines for broths, dashi, and as a wrapped or simmered vegetable; it is prized for its deep umami flavor and gelatinous texture after soaking. Nutritionally it is very low in calories and fat while contributing modest plant protein, fiber and several minerals — notably it contains 2000µg of iodine per 100g, so a little goes a long way. While seaweeds like kombu supply beneficial nutrients such as vitamin K and folate and add savory flavor without calories, their very high iodine content means they should be eaten in moderation, especially by people with thyroid conditions.
