What is dulse seaweed?
Dulse is an edible alga which grows widely along the shorelines of the North Atlantic. It has been harvested as a source of food for thousands of years, and continues to be popular in Northern Ireland, Iceland, and parts of Canada. In addition to being eaten plain as a food source, dulse seaweed and other algae are processed for inclusion in various packaged foods, typically as a thickener or stretcher. Consumers who are interested in trying dulse seaweed can try checking local health food stores, and some larger markets may stock it as well, usually in dried form.
