Because most of the iodine in kelp is attached to the surface, if it is soaked in water for a long time, it is easy to cause iodine loss. Moreover, because of the gum produced by the absorption of fucoidan in kelp, it prevents water from entering in the subsequent process. It is this soaking step that makes kelp harder and harder to chew no matter how long it is cooked.
Save:
1, put it in the refrigerator. Tidy up the fresh kelp, then pack it with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for freezing. The taste will not change much when it is taken out for eating.

2. Dry fresh kelp directly or after pickling with salt, and put it in a dry and ventilated place to make dried kelp strips.
