What is Dulce

[puffysmom]

I did a search and could not really find out what I wanted to know. A search here brings up so much info. I just want to know what it is.
Alissa does not carry it cause if she had i would now know.;)

I think you'd have better results searching for dulse with an s not a c.

Dulse is a kind of seaweed.

dulse is a sea vegetable. mild tasting, salty, reddish color, very tender if briefly soaked in water, goes great dry as a snack with nuts or apples. great in green soups. very mineral-rich.

look for it dried in packages in the sea vegetable section of your HFS. you can find it either in whole leaves or in flakes. i prefer the whole leaves, to put chunks of torn leaves in stuff. but the powdery flakes are cheaper. Maine Coast sea vegetables is the company available in our HFS and Whole Foods here.

On that note, does anyone know if it can be purchased in bulk? i really like the leaves but dont like the flakes too much, but the leaves are really too expensive for me to use as extensively as i would like (4-5 bucks a pack)....just wondering if there are better prices available in bulk that anyones aware of....??

freakin' delicious, that's what.

but really its seaweed. probably why you havent found any info is because its generally spelled 'dulse'.

I guess spelling it right might make a dif. I kind of figured that it had something to do with seaweed but when I did a search for dulce it did not mention seaweed. In fact it sounded to good to be true and was. :D Even ran into a bread recipe. HeeHee
Thanks everyone. I am kind of afraid to try seaweed as it is expensive and if i dont like it then i will have wasted all that $$$. If it is that good i guess it is worth a try.

I really find dulse the best-tasting seaweed and thoroughly enjoy it on my salad. Being the least-fishiest of the seaweeds to my own palatte, it's the one I introduce to my friends for their first seaweed experience. Definitely worth introducing into your diet for the minerals.

I second the "freakin" delicious, but adding in to the max I love it. I love the reddish one but have seen other colors strangely. I'm not a "flake" girl so love the large pieces. I stick it right into the salad and it's a done deal. I love it, love it and hate nori but eat it when others make it.

I doubt you'll find it in Chinatown, since it's Irish (duileasg). Its other name is petit goémon, where goémon is Breton and is some other kind of seaweed.

OH, I thought we were talking about the Italian word "dulce"

So far I see it in bulk hfs.

I personally don't use it:)
