. . "Kombu (\u6606\u5E03, konbu) is edible kelp from the family Laminariaceae and is widely eaten in East Asia. It may also be referred to as konbu (Japanese), dashima (Korean: \uB2E4\uC2DC\uB9C8) or haidai (simplified Chinese: \u6D77\u5E26; traditional Chinese: \u6D77\u5E36; pinyin: H\u01CEid\u00E0i). Some edible kelps in the family Laminariaceae are not always called kombu, such as arame, kurome (Ecklonia kurome) or Macrocystis pyrifera."@en .
