Kombu is a seaweed. It is plant-derived, so it rules out no diet on its own.

Dried sheet · per 100 g
Cited against raw kelp. Dried kombu holds a fraction of the water, so it is several times as concentrated as these figures show; USDA publishes no dried-kelp record.

USDA FDC SR Legacy record 168457. USDA publishes no record for dried kombu; this is its record for raw kelp, the same seaweed before drying. Dried kombu is several times as concentrated by weight, so these figures understate it. In a stock it is drawn on and lifted out again, so almost none of it is eaten either way.
