Description
Dulse is a red seaweed that grows attached to rocks by a "holdfast" in the North Atlantic and Northwest Pacific. It is commonly used in Ireland and Atlantic Canada and is now shipped around the globe. Dulse grows from the mid-tide portion of the intertidal zone (the area between the high tide and low tide) and into deep water. From June through September, it is picked by hand at low water, brought to drying fields (or spreading grounds) and put through a shaker to remove shells pieces, etc. Dulse grows quickly in the summer and the same shores may be picked every two weeks. Sun-dried Dulse is eaten as is, or is ground to flakes or a powder. It can also be pan fried quickly (garlic butter optional) into tasty chips, baked in the oven covered with cheese then add salsa for a crispy treat. It can also be used in soups, chowders, sandwiches and salads, or added to bread/pizza dough. Fresh Dulse can be eaten directly off the rocks before sun-drying. Dulse is a good natural source of dietary requirements. A handful will provide more than 100% of the daily amount of Vitamin B6, 66% of Vitamin B12, a days supply of iron and fluoride (great for strong teeth), and it is relatively low in sodium and high in potassium. Dulse supports optimal thyroid gland activity and function. Due to its high levels of iron, it is invaluable in maintaining normal, healthy blood composition and providing support for the circulatory system.
