Dulse Leaf Flakes

Organic dulse leaf flakes from our bulk section, sold by weight. Dulse is a reddish-purple seaweed with a savoury, salty flavour and a hint of smoke, and the flaked leaf is the easiest way to use it, with no soaking or chopping.

Bring a clean jar or use one of our bags, weigh it empty at the till, scoop what you need and pay by weight. Shake it over popcorn, eggs, avocado toast, soups and salads as you would a finishing salt, stir it into a chowder, or crisp it in a dry pan for a quick savoury topping. Keep it sealed and dry.

Dulse is a seaweed native to the Northern coasts of the Atlantic and Pacific. It is a popular food in Canada’s Maritimes, in Iceland and in Ireland. In addition to being full of minerals and vitamins and high in protein, it is chock-a-block with umami (AKA the fifth taste – or savouriness). This makes it a great vegetarian/vegan alternative to such intensely tasty things as anchovies, shrimp paste, cured meats, Parmigiano cheese, oyster sauce, etc. And carnivores like it too try a bit in a pesto sauce, salad dressings, soups, chowders and stews, egg and tofu dishes, etc.
