Cuan Seaweeds was born on the rugged coastline of County Down, Northern Ireland. Out of passion for all species of seaweed we decided to share our love with the rest of the world. Everything is hand picked dried in traditional processes and packaged with love. We currently specialise in Dulse but will soon be bringing you all kinds of Seaweeds native to the Irish coastline.

What is Dulse?
Palmaria palmata, also called dulse, dillisk or dilsk (from Irish/Scottish Gaelic duileasc/duileasg), red dulse, sea lettuce flakes, or creathnach, is a red alga (Rhodophyta) previously referred to as Rhodymenia palmata. It grows on the northern coasts of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It is a well-known snack food. In Iceland, where it is known as söl, it has been an important source of dietary fiber throughout the centuries.
