What is the white powder on Dulse leaves?
You may notice a white powder on your Dulse – this is the result of the amino acid, glutamine, which naturally rises to the surface as the leaf dries. This what powder is not to be mistaken for mould. It is the very thing that gives Dulse its umami flavour.
Pacific Harvest’s Atlantic Dulse is wild harvested from an Eco-cert organically certified area.
Always choose seaweeds which have been tested for contaminants. Just as they absorb nutrients they also absorb toxins from the ocean, so its essential that food grade seaweeds have been properly tested. We test to the ANZ Food Code requirements.
We grade our seaweeds by hand, but occassionally miss something. Please check for ocean detritus before use.Â
Grown in EU (Ireland or France). Packed in New Zealand.
Storage: Dulse is light sensitive and may lighten in colour if exposed to sunlight for extended periods of time. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Seaweeds are hygroscopic, meaning they absorb moisture from the air, so seal securely once opened.
Allergens: MAY CONTAIN TRACES OF: Crustacea, Fish, Molluscs.
Warnings: Contains naturally occurring iodine. Excessive consumption may exceed recommended daily dietary intakes which could have adverse effects.
Eating Dulse Leaves
How to Use Dulse Leaves
Dulse leaves are a popular smoothie ingredient, chopped into cleansing and detoxing smoothies as Dulse is strongly associated with the collection and removal of heavy metals and toxins. (Read more about how all seaweeds (not just Dulse!) can naturally help to cleanse and detox here.)Â
However, what fewer people know is they are also the perfect garnish on eggs, soups, savoury baking, potatoes, and poke bowls.
The easiest way to eat Dulse leaves is raw, straight from the bag. Pop it in your air frier for an amazing salty snack!

Harvest, Testing, Packing, Recycling
How we harvest, test our pack our Atlantic Dulse Leaves
Our dulse leaves are organically wild harvested from an Eco-cert organically certified area, then dried naturally to preserve their dense nutritional value.
Pacific Harvest specialises in seaweed, and has been trusted by the nutritional community since 2002. We test all our dulse leaves for contaminants in external labs, before packing the flakes in our food grade facility in Auckland.
As Dulse leaves are a wild harvested seaweed, we hand grade them in our food grade facility in Auckland before packing them into our bags. Please do check for detritus before consuming.
You may notice the colour can vary a little. This can depend on when in the season the dulse has been harvested and whether it has been dried indoors or outside in the sun.
Recycling packaging
We recently removed the zip lock from our bags to reduce the amount of overall plastic in the bag. Please use the resealable sticker we provide to keep moisture out.
We added cardboard boxes to our range to ensure the stores who stock these products can stand them on shelf as the pouches we previously used fell over constantly! Please pop these into your worm farm, or in kerb side cardboard recycling.
The plastic pouch can be recycled through soft plastic recycling schemes. Ideally we’d not use plastic but as seaweeds are hygroscopic (attract moisture) we need to ensure we can keep the seaweeds food safe. Compostable options don’t currently provide adequate moisture barriers. Please read more on our packaging journey here.
