Dulse seaweed (Latin Palmaria palmata, English: Dillisk, French: Dulce, German: Lapentang) is a red algae. The dark red, feathery leaves have a leathery texture and a pleasant bite. The spicy sea flavor is complemented by a nutty flavor. Dulse is native throughout the Atlantic as well as in the North and Baltic Seas and grows near the shore on rocky ground. Red algae has always been used as a salty ingredient and source of iodine in the kitchen, and is particularly appreciated in Ireland, Iceland and Canada. Seaweed is rich in bioavailable nutrients and is very rich in iodine. Our dulse algae is grown and harvested by hand at a tip of Brittany in a protected, certified organic area. The strong current prevailing there ensures clean algae. However, the product may contain tiny particles from the ocean, such as traces of crustaceans, molluscs or fish.
