Atlantic Dulse Red Seaweed *Dried* (Palmaria palmata)
Red seaweeds like Dulse contain small amounts of a range of nutrients: iodine, calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, vitamin A, vitamin C, and B complex, as well as Essential Fatty Acid content, and trace nutrients zinc, copper, manganese, selenium, and chromium. Each contains several antioxidant constituents, including antioxidant pigments phycocyanin and phycoerythrin, and its own unique carrageenan profile, as noted below.
Carrageenan is a sulfated polysaccharide, which has been studied for its substantial antiviral activity (ability to prevent viral cell attachment), immunomodulatory activity, and antioxidant capacity, among many other properties. Red seaweeds containing carrageenan have also been traditionally used as lung tonics and to treat lung ailments by many cultures throughout the world. These seaweeds contain many other bioactive compounds, including other medicinal polysaccharides, a diverse array of antioxidant pigments, and other antioxidant constituents, as well as diverse vitamin and mineral profiles and generally mid-range iodine content. Red seaweeds have some of the highest manganese content among seaweeds.
Dulse contains 20-30% dry weight carrageenans, primarily kappa carrageenan. Dulse samples tested are generally high in iron, copper, selenium, and zinc. Dulse contains mid-low range iodine (lowest among brown and red) and tends to have a higher iodine content than other red seaweeds. Dulse samples tested have also shown high vitamin C, manganese, and calcium content compared to other red seaweeds. Dulse is usually high in potassium, and like many other seaweeds, features a low sodium/potassium ratio that can help support cardiovascular health.
Dulse powder makes a great salt substitute.
Smoked Dulse is an amazing partner for your favorite cheeses.
