I was concerned about possible radiation issues with any product coming from Japanese waters. I called the Eden company and spoke with Customer Service. They informed me that they do extensive radiation testing while the product is still in Japan, refusing anything testing positive for radiation. The representative further informed me that they have a Geiger counter at their American facility, which they use on Japanese products, and that they additionally send samples to outside labs. for testing. The company informed me that anything with traces of radiation would be refused and returned to Japan. This company has a very good history of selling high-quality ingredients, and I feel confident using Eden Kombu.
When I first started back to cooking macrobiotic and raw food meals I purchased Kombu and Wakame from a lot of different vendors (coops, organic markets, asian groceries, online vendors, etc). As I started cooking with all the different brands of seaweeds, I noticed there's a distinct difference in taste between the brands. I have to say - Eden has one of the BEST seaweeds out there (texture, taste, no additives, clean).
Everything I cook has that hearty savoriness with the Eden brand. With other brands - the seaweed texture, color, and/or taste is subpar compared to Eden. I don't know what it is but when I cook w/ the other seaweeds - seriously - it just tastes as if something is "missing".
Since noticing the taste difference I wanted to know why Eden had one of the Best seaweeds... I went to Eden's website and read all the stories and research that go behind their products. I'm very impressed by their dedication in bringing Quality, Healthy, and Clean food to us! I'm now a Huge fan of Eden!
Since I grew up eating a lot of seaweeds - I know what good quality tasting seaweed is... and I have to say - Eden has one of the best out there! You have to try it!
