Salt of the Earth

Last night I put some beans on to cook, large limas, my favorite. I wanted to try something different and found this recipe and video on the internet. I was intrigued by her use of kombu as I had heard it was used to add umami to foods (Umami is a savory taste, one of the 5 basic tastes together with sweet, sour, bitter, and salty.) 

Low fat vegan chef recipe for cooking dried beans with added salt and no fat:

I use a slow cooker to cook my beans. They were pretty good, but I'm still missing the salt a little bit. Same with the corn chowder from last night. I don't miss it enough to not eat it, but it definitely adds to my satisfaction. There was some sodium in the catsup.
