Have you heard of kombu?

Have you heard of kombu? It’s a seaweed that is full of vitamins and minerals. 
Let me tell you why I love it:

• It’s amazing for your hair, nails, and skin.
• It’s high in iodine, which is essential for thyroid functioning.
• It’s also known for reducing blood cholesterol and hypertension.
• It’s high in iron, which helps carry blood to cells.
• It’s high in calcium, which is important for bone health.

So how do you use this miracle from the sea? You place a stamp-sized piece into the pot when you make soups, grains, or beans. You can also soak your beans overnight with a strip of kombu and it will help tenderize the beans.
