Atlantic Dulse Seaweed Australia, the gateway to Irelands westcoast seaweed harvesters that hand harvest 100% of the seaweeds we retail. We bring the best of Ireland’s wild-crafted Atlantic Dulse Flakes and Atlantic Dulse Powder from Galway’s western shoreline directly to Australia. Atlantic Dulse has been consumed on Ireland’s west & northern coast for centuries, if not millennia. I was born and raised on the Aran Island’s, situated on Irelands west coast. I grew up and learned about seaweed and the sea, before I migrated to Sydney, Australia.
The majestic Aran Islands is a place of tradition and provenance. I vividly remember harvesting seaweed with my mother and her father, my late grandfather. On the western side of Inis Mor, my granddad always foraged for fresh dulse. It was common place to sun dry the sea vegetable’s for consuming at a later stage. Dulse, a crimson red sea vegetable is generally harvested at very low water such as when big king tides come around from the pull of a full moon.
Similarly to other seaweeds, Atlantic Dulse grows at the low water level, which is only accessible when the sea has drained and leaves the lower shore exposed, harvest time! The islander’s would be down on the shoreline foraging for food such as large crab that did not go out with the tide, having access to easily picked mussels, periwinkles, etc… Some went to harvest fresh dulse (and Irish Moss and Atlantic Wakame) that grows abundantly in the deep rocky pools and cliff edges. Atlantic Dulse mainly attaches itself to rocky reefs or large boulders, that tend to be in exposed and very dangerous areas where the full force of the mighty Atlantic ocean hits quite regularly during the big winter storms.
Throughout time, and up to the present day, Atlantic Dulse seaweed has been consumed in Ireland. Similarly, a staple sea vegetable in Scotland, Wales, France, Iceland, Canada and northern America. Undeniably, there are many uses for this delicate, yet vibrant and nutrient dense seaweed. It can be eaten simply as a snack or used as a functional food ingredient.
Today, Atlantic Dulse is gaining popular credibility as a practical and natural plant based dietary food supplement. After all, it is of course vegan, vegetarian, dairy free, nut free, lactose free, pretty much all of the bad stuff can be ruled out.

Hi guys, just making my second purchase with you after finding your product. I'm enjoying the product and have been sharing with the family, trying the dulse this time though. I use the product as a pre-workout drink and amazingly have my energy and muscle pumps back! I was seriously iodine deficient for some which lead to low zinc as well. Anyway the results were almost instant. Great product...

What Is Atlantic Dulse Seaweed
Palmaria palmata is the Latin name for Dulse, in Ireland its called “Dillisk” that has a little twist of the Irish language. Dulse is a small crimson red saltwater sea vegetable that has a leathery feel to it when you touch it. An amazing marine sea vegetable with a flat frond to the eye which typically grows to between 30 and 40 centimeters in length. It can grow larger too and can grow up to 20 meters below sea level. It attaches itself to the rocks by what is called a holdfast, similar to other seaweed types.
Commonly, Dulse only grows at specific times of the year in Ireland. Dulse is a seasonal vegetable and is not available all year round. It latches itself to rocky reefs that are in exposed and dangerous areas, it only grows in cold seas too, similar to other red edible seaweeds.
Dulse is fast becoming a must have vegan and vegetarian food source and, an important natural plant based food supplement. Amazingly, It is rich in vitamins, minerals and has a significant amount of iodine.

People often ask, How do you use Atlantic Dulse in the Kitchen?
Plant based food choices are now being selected for various dietary reasons and even ones values. Evidently, with more people now choosing to add plant based sourced and nutritious food to their diet, Dulse is seen as a healthy sea vegetable alternative that is of course natural and, truly organic. Unsurprisingly, It is being more widely utilised in restaurants and health food shops also. The amazing Dulse flakes and powder that we supply are certified organic all over Europe. We guarantee our seaweed produce, it is fully traceable, hand selected and processed in a state of the art, government registered food grade facility in Ireland.
Another key point to realise, Dulse is not a new food source to coastal communities, It has in fact been consumed on the Aran Islands for centuries as a functional food ingredient, some say that it was used as far back as 600 AD. Without a doubt, it is quite remarkable what you can do with it, you can eat Dulse fresh from the rock, you can fry it and even dry it into a whole-leaf, flake and/or powder form , its just so versatile and, super healthy which is a great added bonus! The premium quality Dulse that we retail directly to you has been dehumidified in less than 12 hours to ensure that the macro and micro nutrients are contained along with all of its amazing and natural medicinal properties.
Not to mention, some consumers of Dulse compare it to ‘Bacon of the Sea‘. To achieve the bacon like texture, and taste. You will need to gently fry Dulse on a pan with some oil over a medium heat until it turns crispy! On the positive side, this is a favourite in our house. I have not told the kids that its dulse, just yet!
