Whole Food Sneak Peak: Dulse
This wild ocean plant is among one of the most nutritionally dense foods in the world. Sea vegetables are easy to digest, chlorophyll-rich and alkaline forming.
The sea vegetable dulse provides the perfect mineral balance in natural form. It is an excellent source of iodine and vitamin B6. Dulse is sun-dried and enzyme active. Dulse has more dietary fiber and soluble fiber than oat bran; contains 10x the calcium of cow’s milk and several more iron than red meat.
Athletes would like to know that dulse is packed full of minerals and is the richest source of naturally occurring electrolytes known. Electrolytes allow our cells to stay hydrated longer, therefore helping prolong hydration and endurance.
You can use dulse flakes as a substitute for sea salt (will need too use double the amount of salt).
Rinsing the dulse briefly will make the taste less strong and will tenderize it more quickly. If you find it too chewy for your liking, lay it in a damp towel to absorb some ambient moisture.
Dulse also adds a unique flavor to salads (Caesar, Greek or garden), any potato, tomato or grain based soups (chowder, minestrone) and stir fries. Some other common seaweeds to try are nori and kelp. Sprinkle on air-popped pop corn instead of salt.
