Dulse is a colorful salad ingredient, is tasty in soups and is zesty when fried and boosts the flavor of any sandwich creation. Dulse doesn't require any soaking or cooking, which makes it a great snack to be enjoyed right out of the bag. Maine Coast Sea Vegetables is committed to the rediscovery of this ancient food source from the sea. Their mission is twofold: to provide high-quality North Atlantic sea vegetables as user-friendly foods and to build long-term relationships with their suppliers and the environment.
Basic Prep
Our dulse comes directly to you without processing or washing out any of its mineral richness. Please check for occasional tiny hidden pebbles or shells in the leaves. Store your dulse in this bag out of extreme light, heat or moisture.
If uncooked dulse is too chewy for you, allow it to absorb some ambient moisture (steam kettle, damp towel, humid room) and in a few days it will be tenderized by its own live enzymes. Rinsing the dulse briefly will tenderize it more quickly and make the taste less strong.
Cooking with dulse is a treat. It is fast and flavorful. Try pan-frying some leaves in a well-oiled skillet until they turn brownish and crisp. Kids love these “chips”. You can dry roast dulse pieces in a medium hot skillet or low oven until the leaves turn greenish – not black (burned). Crumble them on grains, soups, pasta, pizza, or popcorn.
