Where does Dulse Powder seaweed come from?
Dulse Powder seaweed can be found growing all across the Irish west coast in the North Atlantic, it also grows on the cost of North America and Canada. It only grows in cold waters and is found in rock pools and in exposed reefs. It is usually found in the inter-tidal zone. It is not as easily found as other seaweeds as it likes to grow at the low water level. If you want to get it for yourself you can forage for it also, jump in and get some!
What exactly is Dulse Powder seaweed?
Dulse powder comes from the family of red seaweeds. It’s botanical name is Palmaria palmata and it is also referred to as “bacon of the sea”. Dulse Powder is not as salty as other seaweeds and has a mild spicy umami flavour. People in Ireland have been eating Dulse for over 200 years, Dulse Powder is now being used by many inland people to introduce the needed minerals and vitamins that it contains.

However, since I now have my own kids and with eating habits changing, I use it primarily in Smoothies and Sauces. Its so versatile so it can be used in most dishes. Give it a try today!
