Product information "Dulse powder organic"
Atlantic dulse powder (ragweed, red algae) in organic & raw food quality
In order to present the different dulse variants more clearly, we have now recorded the dulse flakes, dulse leaves and dulse powder (this article) as separate articles. The powder is the easiest variant for the Detox Smoothie.
Atlantic dulse or ragweed (Palmaria palmata) is a red alga, soft with a bite and a rich purplish reddish colour. It does not need to be boiled or soaked. So dulse is a great snack or an aromatic topping for potato and lentil dishes as well as for salads. Dulse has also become popular as an ingredient in Detox Smoothie in recent years.
Dulse is extremely low in calories, free of fat and cholesterol, and rich in vitamin B6, fiber and proteins in addition to minerals. It has the highest iron content of any sea vegetable.
10g dried dulse corresponds to around 100g fresh dulse.
Why we love Dulse
Dulse is one of the easiest sea vegetables to use. It tastes mild and spicy and adds flavor and color to any dish. It is also one of the few purple colored foods and purple is the color of spiritual consciousness, the third eye.
In order to increase availability, we have been working with two different producers for a few years.
Irish dulse
The kelp is wild collected in the west of Ireland at low tide and harvested by hand. With the help of a cold air drying system, the organic algae are dried very gently and in raw food quality.
Variants: Due to the different amounts consumed, we offer Dulse powder in 100g and 250g bags. the larger bag is approx. 16.5% cheaper.
Use dulse
Traditionally harvested for generations, dulse can be eaten straight from the bag or used as an ingredient in smoothies. Dulse is also suitable steamed over potatoes or roasted until crispy as a snack or with salads and other dishes. As raw food directly from the bag or with salads (can be rinsed beforehand if necessary). In soups and stews, ideal with legumes and grain dishes. Add towards the end of the cooking time.
Varying consistency (bite resistance)
The consistency (bite firmness) of the Dulse leaves and flakes can vary depending on the batch and the season. This can be due to the time of harvest or the development of the individual plants at the time of harvest. Dulse algae are wild plants. In general, harvesting takes place shortly before flowering, so that the plants are still young enough to be sufficiently tender. Longer soaking or heating (cooking) reduces the firmness to the bite.
