About Dulse

Dulse is an edible red seaweed, commonly sold dried as flat, thin fronds or flakes. Its colour ranges from reddish purple to dark red-brown after drying; rehydrated fronds are softer and more pliable. It has a savoury, sea-like flavour, which can become more pronounced when dried or toasted.

Dulse is used as a seasoning or vegetable, eaten after rehydration, or crumbled into foods; some preparations toast or fry it until crisp. Whole dried fronds, flakes, and rehydrated seaweed differ in moisture and texture, and processing can affect flavour and measured composition.
