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.
Two different varieties
To ensure availability, we currently have dulse flakes from two different producers in our range. The ones from Ireland are currently sold out. Both dulse varieties are dried very gently and in raw food quality after harvesting using a cold air drying system.
What makes our dulse flakes from Spain special?
The dulse seaweed comes from the Atlantic coast of Galicia, in north-west Spain. Sustainably harvested by divers, the wild-growing organic seaweed is packed in 100g bags. These flakes are 10-30mm in size and softer than Irish 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 in the bags. For safety reasons, we ask you to check the dulse flakes briefly before eating them.
How to use dulse flakes?
Dulse has been traditionally harvested for generations and can be eaten directly from the bag (can be 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 and lentil 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.
Varying consistency (firmness to the bite)
The consistency (chewiness) of 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 firmness.

These seaweeds may contain parts of crustaceans and grains of sand due to processing. Therefore, please check the leaves/flakes briefly before consumption.
