Preparation, uses, and tips
Dulse can be eaten right out of the package, but should be examined first to eliminate any
sand or small shells. Dulse can be soaked and eaten raw in salads, or cooked quickly and added
to stir-fries or vegetable or grain dishes. It is also good fried and eaten as a
snack.
Buying and storing tips
Dehydrated dulse should be stored in an airtight container in a dark, dry place. Cooked
dulse should be used soon after it is prepared, or be kept under refrigeration.
Varieties
North Atlantic dulse, which grows to between 6 and 12 inches (15 to 30cm) long, is the
variety that is commonly available. In addition to dried fronds, dulse is also available in
flake and powder forms for use as a condiment.
