Product information "Dulse Flakes Organic"
Atlantic dulse flakes from Ireland, organic & raw food quality
What is dulse?
Atlantic dulse or lobster seaweed (Palmaria palmata) is a red algae, crunchy with a bite and a strong purple-red colour. It does not need to be cooked or soaked and can therefore be used in many different ways in the kitchen.
Dulse is extremely low in calories, fat- and cholesterol-free, rich in minerals as well as vitamin B6, fibre and protein. It has the highest iron content of all sea vegetables.
10g of dried dulse is equivalent to around 100g of fresh dulse.
Why consume dulse?
Dulse is one of the easiest sea vegetables to use. It tastes mild and spicy and adds flavour and colour to any dish. It is also one of the few purple-coloured foods and purple is the colour of spiritual consciousness, the third eye.
What makes our dulse flakes from Ireland special?
The dulse seaweed comes from quality producers in Ireland. After harvesting, the wild-growing organic dulse is dried very gently and in raw food quality using a cold air drying system. They are then ground into flakes.
Please note: Due to the wild harvest, small mussels may adhere to the dulse leaves. The producer himself and we check the purity as well as possible when packing into the bags. For safety reasons, we ask you to briefly check the dulse flakes before eating them.
Varying consistency (bite resistance)
The consistency (firmness) of the dulse flakes can vary depending on the batch and season. This may be due to the time of harvest or the development of the individual plants at the time of harvest. Dulse algae are wild-growing plants. They are generally harvested shortly before flowering so that the plants are still young enough to be sufficiently tender. Prolonged soaking or heating (boiling) reduces the bite strength.
How to use dulse flakes?
Dulse has been traditionally harvested for generations and can be eaten straight from the bag (rinsed beforehand if necessary) or used as an ingredient in smoothies (e.g. for detox smoothies).
They are also suitable as a topping for salads, sandwiches as well as lentil dishes or rice dishes.
Dulse is also suitable steamed over potatoes or crispy roasted as a snack and other dishes.
In soups and stews, ideal with pulses and cereal dishes. Add towards the end of the cooking time.
