A red seaweed, dulse (Palmaria palmata) is an excellent source of plant protein so makes a great choice for vegans, vegetarians, and anyone else looking to incorporate the ocean’s superfood into their diet. Dulse also offers a high iodine content so is a great natural supplement for thyroid health.
The Atlantic Dulse leaves are perfect with soups, savoury baking, potatoes, and poke bowls. Dulse is also popular blended into smoothies due to its detoxifying properties. Chop leaves into soups, stews and stir fries or wrap food parcels to infuse flavour and nutrients. Known as a “vegan bacon”, Dulse leaves can be roasted or fried to acheive a unique substitute for a plant-based diet.
