It likes to grow in cold water on rocks, but also likes to grow on the stems of other seaweeds (mainly of the <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><a style="color:#78509a;" href="https://morgenisnu.nl/products/modifilan-brown-seaweed-extract/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Laminaria</a></span> genus). It is a relatively small seaweed with a red to purple color. It has soft, flat leaves that grow in the shape of a kind of fanning palm. The botanical genus name 'palmaria' probably refers to this.</p> <p>Dulse is like many other <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><a style="color:#78509a;" href="https://morgenisnu.nl/product-categorie/superfoods/algen/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">algae</a></span> a true superfood. It can be added to any dish or smoothie, both hot and cold. Seaweed is, just like the sea, very rich in minerals. The minerals iodine and iron in particular stand out. It also contains more proteins and fibers than other seaweeds, and also most other edible plants. Also, <span class="Y2IQFc" lang="nl">also vitamin A (beta-carotene), iron, potassium, magnesium, chlorophyll, trace elements from the ocean and B vitamins are present in the seaweed.</span></p> <h4><span style="color:#78509a;">Dulse Whole Leaf - highest quality dulse</span></h4> <p>Dulse Whole Leaf from Maine Coast Sea Vegetables is of the highest quality. They harvest seaweed sustainably in the wild and in pristine coastal waters. They then dry the seaweed at low temperatures to retain as many enzymes and nutrients as possible in the final product. This ensures that this dulse is rich in active substances.</p> <p>Each batch of the final product is also fully checked in the laboratory for quality, pathogenic substances and possible contaminants (such as heavy metals (cadmium, lead, mercury and arsenic), pesticides, petroleum residues and radioactive substances). Although Maine Coast Sea Vegetables dulse harvests in pristine coastal waters, no one has control over what the ocean currents and wind bring. That is why this control for possible contaminants is extremely important. The laboratory checks are carried out by independent parties to exclude falsification of test results. Maine Coast Sea Vegetables makes no secret of the <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><a style="color:#78509a;" href="https://seaveg.com/pages/seaweed-testing-information" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">test results</a></span>You can simply view these on the website.</p>
