message: The article mentions that Kombu may increase the digestibility of beans.  I have also seen the same fact mentioned in Cooking the Whole Foods Way by Christina Pirello.  However, there is no real discussion of how this is accomplished.  My question is, does it alter or destroy the fiber content of the bean?

it. Jidanni (talk) 04:39, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, if you say about the food name or what country cuisine is, that would be much great, or you can edit the page by yourself. I only know a Korean dish made by frying dried kombu coated with either starch or glutinous rice flour in oil and then seasoned with little bit of salt or sugar is called "dasima bugak" (다시마부각) or "dasima twigak" (다시마튀각).photo1photo2 --Caspian blue (talk) 04:53, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

message: The article correctly mentions the nutritional imprtance of iodine.  But a packet of "Clearspring" brand konbu I bought today warns against eating more than 1g of (dried) konbu per week, because of the danger of excessive iodine consumption.  Perhaps someone with more knowledge of this could comment?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.96.79.118 (talk) 14:39, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

message: reliable source needed (this one from an amazon.com nutrition info) ... kombu is quite expensive, I can't imagine eating 6000mg of potassium worth -- would be cost prohibitive to say the least.

message: Kombucha 昆布茶 "seaweed tea" is a beverage brewed from dried and powdered kombu. This is sometimes confused with the unrelated English word kombucha If the word kombucha for yeast tea is unrelated to 昆布茶, where does it come from? Kombucha#Etymology contradicts this, but also makes a strange assertion: The wrongly transliterated English kombucha fermented tea is pronounced similarly, and is confused with the Japanese kombucha seaweed tea. "Wrongly transliterated"? Could it be that the reason for this confusion is a misunderstanding of what "unrelated word" and "transliterated" mean?--88.73.18.192 (talk) 15:32, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: No kidding. A lot of value judgments here about the etymology and the confusion with the fermented tea. I removed "incorrect" and "unrelated", because a common word cannot be incorrect by definition, and the word does seem to be related (albeit through confusion of two unrelated but perhaps superficially similar things).

message: The name kombu is misleading as there is a Python software by the same name, used for Messaging middleware. Rename the Kombu page to disambiguation page pointing to the Python Messaging framework page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kombu_Messaging_Framework. Currently a search on WP for "kombu directly leads to the japanesse page and it is misleading. 1o8o1  —Preceding undated comment added 05:08, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
