Product Overview:
Organic Irish Dulse / Dillisk (Palmaria palmata), certified Organic by the Organic Trust Ltd
As with all our seaweeds, our Dulse / Dillisk is harvested along the west coast of Ireland, (Co. Donegal), carefully monitored and immediately processed fresh or gently dried. AlgAran edible seaweed are the best and the cleanest in the World!
Naturally High in Potassium, this seaweed was traditionally used in Ireland as a healthy snack.
Well known in the Irish tradition as a "salty" snack. Very common in the old times
High in Vitamin B12 and Iron would be recommended in vegan and vegetarian diets, where the lack of these elements are one of major problems
All red seaweed contain Beta Carotenes - very useful to prevent viral attacks
Delicious raw or fried. Tastes almost like salted meat. Is very useful to enhance the flavour in fish recipes.
When mixed with flour, baked in bread or mixed in hand made pasta, the taste will be totally neutralised
An example recipe is included on the packet.
