What does Dulse Taste Like?
Dulse is a mild and briny seaweed. Many consider it more palatable for those who don’t prefer ocean-y or fishy flavors. You’ll still get the bright sea saltiness, but it won’t overpower the rest of your dish the way some other seaweeds can.
Should I use Raw or Cooked Dulse?
When raw, dulse is red and has a pleasant texture with a bit of a bite, almost reminiscent of a thin wood ear mushroom. Use dulse raw if you want to emphasize its brininess and fresh texture.
When cooked, dulse loses its red color and turns green. Cooking it in water will leach out some of the ocean-y flavor, giving you a vegetable that resembles cooked kale. Use cooked dulse when you want a softer texture or want to combine it with other greens.
