What it is

Organic dulse is a type of red seaweed that grows along the coasts of the North Atlantic and North Pacific oceans. It is harvested from the wild or cultivated, then typically dried and sometimes ground into flakes or powder. Dulse is known for its savory, slightly sweet, and umami flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add organic dulse as a natural source of flavor and nutrients, often used as a salt substitute or to add a savory, umami taste. It is commonly found in seasoning mixes, salts, marinades, snack bars, and vegetable dishes.

Health notes

Organic dulse is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated dulse, but did not set a numeric acceptable daily intake (ADI). Like other seaweeds, dulse can absorb heavy metals from its environment, so sourcing and purity are important considerations.

Allergen info

Dulse is a type of seaweed and is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
