Guest guest Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Hi everyone, I wanted to try dulse (what is the correct pronounciation of this?) yesterday and I lightly fried it in olive oil like the package said. It claimed " kids love these chips. " Well, I didn't love them and my two year old didn't love them either. Is there anything else I can do to make it taste better (maybe even good)? I know I can crumble it up on salads but we do not eat salads often. Also, am I supposed to rinse it? And I would like to try aglae. What kind of container/package should I be looking for at the next place I go to? And you might as well tell me what to do with it right now in hopes of having a better first experience than I've had with dulse!

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 IME, algae usually comes in pill form, or powder form that you can just mix into smoothies. i've never seen *just* algae. have you tried kelp? i was so-o-o-o-o-o skeptical about kelp, but i kept reading about how good it was, so i bought some, and then it sat in our pantry for six months, until we finally pulled it out a week ago...and i love it! we don't do anything to it. i think the less cooking, the better. i snip it up to top soups and salads, and also just eat it right out of the bag! it's sweet and salty and chewy, and not unlike jerky, frankly! my 2 y/o adores the stuff. we've used arame too, and nori of course for sushi...i'm not a fan of arame, and nori is ok, but i absolutely adore kelp. so i don't have any advice for dulse, specifically, but i would suggest kelp before you give up on sea greens altogether.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Nori is algae, not kelp. I only recently learned this fairly recently, and I was surprised that it was. My son loves it. I have some of those cool paper punches that cut out shapes (we have dog, cat and dragonfly right now - I got them at a dollar store or on clearance, but they were only a buck, and I should have gotten whatever they had...) so I cut them out and use them in mock tuna, over rice, or whatever to make it 'fancy'. When I'm cutting them out, my son just wants to eat them, so it takes a long time to cut them.LOL. We had some kelp (it was wakame -from a Japanese grocery store) and I can never have too much of it, as it's too 'fishy' for me sometimes. Depends on what it is in. I could eat nori all day though. Good luck, I'm not sure what Dulse is (I was thinking something dairy,but I have to look into this) Missie On 5/24/07, chandelle' <earthmother213 wrote: > > IME, algae usually comes in pill form, or powder form that you can just > mix > into smoothies. i've never seen *just* algae. > > have you tried kelp? i was so-o-o-o-o-o skeptical about kelp, but i kept > reading about how good it was, so i bought some, and then it sat in our > pantry for six months, until we finally pulled it out a week ago...and i > love it! we don't do anything to it. i think the less cooking, the > better. i snip it up to top soups and salads, and also just eat it right > out of the bag! it's sweet and salty and chewy, and not unlike jerky, > frankly! my 2 y/o adores the stuff. we've used arame too, and nori of > course for sushi...i'm not a fan of arame, and nori is ok, but i > absolutely > adore kelp. so i don't have any advice for dulse, specifically, but i > would > suggest kelp before you give up on sea greens altogether. > > On 5/24/07, hilbro <hilbro <hilbro%40>> wrote: > > > > Hi everyone, > > I wanted to try dulse (what is the correct pronounciation of this?) > > yesterday and I lightly fried it in olive oil like the package said. > > It claimed " kids love these chips.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 my apologies, i was just refering to sea greens altogether. (dulse is a sea green as well.)

It can be eaten a number of different ways. Raw or cooked. My son has always loved it! Although he eats a sheet of roasted nori almost every morning with breakfast. Either plain or wrapped around soy sausage,soy bacon or around left over rice, millet, polenta or quinoa. I have to admit I'm a big fan of all sea veggies too!

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 I've tried sprinkling it on salads ... so as to conceal it. ~Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 I am not sure why you are wanting the Dulse, but it is available in a liquid form and it has a pleasant taste. We use it for the iodine. Good luck. Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
