Dulse

Dulse is a type of red seaweed that is commonly found along the northern coasts of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Known scientifically as Palmaria palmata, it grows attached to rocks and shells in the intertidal zone. Dulse has been harvested for centuries and is especially popular in Ireland, Scotland, Iceland, and parts of Canada. It is rich in vitamins, minerals, and protein, making it a nutritious addition to various dishes. Dulse can be eaten raw, dried, or cooked, and is often used in soups, salads, and as a seasoning. Its flavor is described as salty and slightly smoky, with a chewy texture when dried. Due to its health benefits and versatility, dulse has gained popularity as a superfood in recent years.
