Dulse is a red seaweed that grows in the North Atlantic and Northwest Pacific. The seaweed grows attached to rocks in the inter-tidal zone, where the water is cold, the current is swift, and the ocean bottom is clean. Dulse grows so quickly in the summer that it can be picked every two weeks. It is used as a food and as a medicine. Dulse is eaten as a tasty snack in Nova Scotia and elsewhere. It can be eaten sun-dried, fried, baked with cheese, or eaten fresh off the rocks. Dulse can also be used as a condiment or sprinkled on salads and soups. It is cultivated for such use in Nova Scotia and sold in the produce section of grocery stores under the name ‘Sea Parsley’. Dulse is very high in Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, iron, fluoride, and potassium and is a rich source of non-animal protein. It is used medicinally due to its high vitamin and nutrient content. Dulse is a terrific nutritional supplement for dieters and vegetarians who lack sufficient protein intake. Dulse is also found as a common ingredient in many nutritional drink mixes, particularly "green drinks".
