Dulse Organic 125 g

Red seaweed dulse

Dulse is a red seaweed, also known as red palmaria or Palmaria palmata, and belongs to the group of red algae, or Rodophycophyta. Other red algae include nori and, perhaps more familiar to us, agar-agar, which is also used as a gelling agent in vegetarian and vegan diets.

Seaweeds are an important source of iodine, which our bodies do not store and which we must therefore consume regularly (which is precisely why most table salt is iodised), as it is responsible for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland, and a deficiency can lead to various health conditions.

The seaweed is dried and ground into flakes. They are of excellent quality, as they are wild-harvested and certified organic, and are hand-harvested in the Atlantic Ocean.

What do dulse seaweeds contain?

Vitamins A, C and E – important antioxidants that protect us from free radicals; and B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, B12), which have been shown to maintain energy levels.
Minerals and trace elements: calcium, iron, manganese, zinc, magnesium, iodine, potassium and phosphorus.
It also contains plenty of protein, amino acids and fibre, as well as omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids.
In fact, it contains almost all the essential trace elements required by the human body.
