Maine Coast Sea Vegetables Dulse, Whole Leaf Plant, Organic

Description: We are very blessed to be able to provide some of the best Dulse in the world! It's no wonder this is our most popular sea vegetable. Whole Leaf Dulse is soft and chewy, with a distinctive taste and a rich red color. Our Dulse is hand-harvested from remote Gulf of Maine bays at the peak of nutrition and taste (early summer to early fall.) All of our Dulse products undergo annual OCIA organic inspection for handling and harvesting, as well as voluntary testing for heavy metal, chemical and microbiological contaminants. Like all sea vegetables, Dulse is an excellent source of Iodine. It also contains a significant amount of protein compared to land vegetables. It's rich in iron (10% DV/serving) and a good source of some of the B-vitamins. Warning: Consuming this product can expose you to chemicals including lead, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.  Summary: Whole Leaf Dulse is soft and chewy, with a distinctive taste and a rich red color.
