How is Kelp translated in to Italian language?

Hi! How do I say Kelp in Italian? And do they sell it in the supermarkets in Italy?

1. alghe They probably have it in the larger markets in the bigger cities
2. You can more easily find a variety with it's Japanese name: kombu. (alga=algae; then "alga kombu"). It's sold in Italy, and Asian food is more easy to find now than some years ago, but I think you may need to check more than one supermarket before you find it. You should also try in a "erboristeria" (herbalist’s shop).
3. Kelp is kelp in Italian. Don't know about buying the edible kind in Italy. Why the hell anyone would like to eat kelp when they are surrounded by Italina cuisnes . . . one of the great cuisines of the world is beyond me.
