2. In fact, kelp should be eaten as soon as possible after being bought. If it can't be eaten, the unsealed kelp should be refrigerated in the refrigerator or freezer, because the unpacked kelp will be affected by temperature, light and other factors during storage, its nutrients will be degraded, on the contrary, microorganisms will continue to multiply, and harmful components will continue to increase, which will promote the kelp to deteriorate and be inedible.

There is a trick to softening kombu.

Method 1: Open the ball of dried kelp and put it in the cage drawer to steam it in water for about half an hour, and then soak it in water overnight.

Place the rolled kelp rolls in plastic wrap. Put all the kelp wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator, freeze it, and when you eat it, you can just take out a roll and thaw it and eat it directly.

Put it in the refrigerator and freeze it, take it as you eat, and it is easy to spoil at room temperature.

The kelp is stored as follows:

4. After cooling, wash off the mucus on it with running water, and then you can mix it cold or stir-fry it, use it for stir-frying or stewing, if the cold mix is still not too soft, you can shred it and put it in the pot and boil it with water for 5 minutes, remember to pour a little vinegar into the pot, and the cold water will be soft and crispy after taking it out.

The amino acids in the protein of kelp are complete and the proportion is appropriate, especially the eight kinds of amino acids necessary for the human body, and its content is very close to the content pattern of essential amino acids in the ideal protein. In addition to being used as a dish, kombu can also be processed into a variety of foods with unique flavors.

3. In addition to containing a variety of vitamins and trace elements, kelp also has a large amount of dietary fiber, especially soluble fiber. Dietary fiber refers to the plant components that are not decomposed by the enzyme system of the human digestive tract, and can play a role in the human body through a variety of specific mechanisms, mainly including water absorption and expansion to increase satiety, accelerate gastric emptying, and reduce the pH value of the intestinal lumen.

Geographical distribution of kelp:

Kelp is a subarctic algae endemic to the North Pacific Ocean, and some kelp is also found in the Atlantic Ocean. Most kelp is found in the northern hemisphere, but also in small quantities in the southern hemisphere, and generally grows on subtidal seafloor rocks. The growth of kelp is mainly affected by factors such as temperature, light, nutrients and plant hormones.

The northwestern part of the ocean is the concentration of kelp, and most of the world's kelp species are distributed here, among which the most economically valuable kelp is distributed in the western coast of the Russian Tatar Strait, Peter the Great Bay and Hokkaido, Japan. After introduction, it was widely distributed in the coastal waters of the eastern and southern coasts of South Korea, and the coastal waters of the Shandong Peninsula.

In our daily life, people often choose kelp to eat, so in daily life, kelp food has a lot of nutritional value, and some users can eat some kelp can also help themselves to achieve a lot of efficacy and effect, so how to save the new kelp purchased in daily life?
