Dillisk 40g

Dillisk — also known as Dulse — is a traditional red seaweed harvested from clean Atlantic waters. Its deep burgundy colour, soft texture, and naturally savoury flavour have made it a staple in coastal diets for centuries. Our Dillisk is hand-picked at low tide, gently dried, and packed to preserve its rich mineral content and distinctive taste.

Naturally high in protein and bursting with umami, Dillisk is one of the most versatile edible seaweeds. It can be eaten straight from the bag, cooked, toasted, or used as a nutrient-rich seasoning.
