I am gluten free and LOVE pesto. Hello — I guess I am not looking in the right place on your site — can you help me find the instructions for how to soften the noodles? If you could provide like to the correct page I would be very grateful! I just purchased a few packets of kelp noodles at my local Whole Foods, and they are really great tossed with a little bit of vinegar and then wrapped with lettuce!
Have you ever had any concerns about the processing this product undergoes? Have you been privy to the manufacturing of this product, perhaps through a tour or video? My understanding is that the process is treatment with sodium alginate.
But do you know exactly what sodium alginate is? How IT is processed? Or how processed it is itself? Now is one of those times I wish I was a braniac like you or, at the very least, could read and understand chemical formulas and such! You make a good point. It seems to be used not only in food but drugs and textiles. I just bought kelp noodles for the first time yesterday at the Wedge Coop in Minneapolis.

How was it grown, where, how much shipping involved, what kind of labor, politics and environmental concerns such as with tropical fruit like bananas etc.

The best thing about it is that it has looked good everytime with the preparation, presentationa and all. I found that if you let the noodles soak overnight in warm water—then the next morning take a small handful —at a time—and massage them to break down the glassy or wiry quality—you can see the translucence diluted—and noodles feel differently and are not crunchy. Then when the sauce is poured on them—the taste—texture and appearance of kelp noodles—resembles ramen noodles without any cooking or heating!

It feels like a special touchstone to come over here, at last, and find you offering color, intelligent review, richness, and beauty as you were last time I visited. Perfect timing. I have been wanting to buy kelp noodles, so I did today, and had no idea how to prepare them and what combine them with.
Thanks so much. I bough the exact ones in the post! Tried the recipe and it was great! I had never eaten kelp noodles at room temp before, usually I heat them and use as a substitute for spaghetti or in other warm dishes.
This was a tasty treat, thanks Gena! What a great tutorial. I am copy and pasting this from a review on amazon. Found they absorb flavors very well and soften when boiled. However, something did not seem right about the nutritional content. It turns out that these noodles are mainly made of sodium alginate, a highly processed derivative of kelp.
The kelp undergoes a lot of chemical treatment including some at high temperatures to made this powder, which of course resembles the noodles a lot more than does kelp itself. In all likelihood very little of the nutritional value of kelp makes it into these noodles. It is used in the food industry as a gum, but please consider that you are eating a large amount of it in the noodles.
It is not good for people with hypertension and people have ended up with upset tummies. It is not a vegetable but like some sort of plastic. It is unfortunate that they can even sell this product.
