Dulse Powder (Rhodymenia Palmata), also known as Red Dulse or Sea Lettuce, is derived from a red seaweed found primarily within the Northern Atlantic. Here it can be found primarily along coastal regions along the shores of Canada, Ireland, and Norway. Among these seafaring cultures it became a popular addition to meals and salads as dietary supplement, and among sailors as a cure for scurvy and parasitic infection among sailors, and would also sometimes be used to relieve constipation. Modern herbalists enjoy Dulse Powder as a great source of iodine. It is also often used as a gentle alternative to psyllium or senna for the treatment of constipation. Dulse is also growing in popularity as a nutritional supplement due to the large amounts of vitamins and minerals that it contains. This is a 1 lb packet of Dulse powder. |
