Where is your harvest area located?
Our seaweeds are wild-harvested by hand from the pristine coastal waters surrounding Grand Manan Island in the Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick, Canada. This region is world-renowned for producing the highest-quality Dark Harbour Dulse thanks to its powerful tides, cold, clean waters, and nutrient-rich marine environment.
How do I know your products are food safe?
Food safety is our highest priority. Every batch is processed in our licensed Canadian food processing facility under strict quality standards. We conduct regular third-party laboratory testing for food safety, heavy metals, and microbiological contaminants to ensure our seaweeds meet the highest standards before reaching our customers.
Does your seaweed contain any additives or preservatives?
No. Our seaweeds are 100% pure, wild-harvested seaweed with no additives, preservatives, artificial colours, flavours, or fillers. We simply harvest our seaweed from the pristine waters surrounding Grand Manan Island, naturally sun-dry it, and package it to preserve its natural quality, flavour, and nutrition.
How do I keep my seaweed fresh?
Store your seaweed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After opening, reseal the package tightly or transfer it to an airtight container. Keeping moisture out will help preserve its flavour, texture, and nutritional quality.
What is the shelf life of your seaweed?
Our seaweeds have a 3-year shelf life when stored properly in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Each package is clearly marked with a best-before date to ensure you enjoy the highest quality, freshness, and flavour. Once opened, simply reseal the package tightly or store it in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
How many servings are in a 1 lb bag?
A 1 lb (454 g) bag contains approximately 90 servings, based on a 5 g serving size. Since seaweed is naturally nutrient-dense, a little goes a long way whether you’re snacking, cooking, or adding it to smoothies.
Why is Dark Harbour Dulse world-renowned?
Dark Harbour Dulse has earned its reputation through generations of traditional harvesting and the unique environment of the Bay of Fundy. The world’s highest tides, clean Atlantic waters, and nutrient-rich conditions produce Dulse known for its exceptional flavour, texture, colour, and quality. Sustainably hand-harvested and carefully processed, our seaweed delivers premium quality from our shore to your door.
Should my Dulse be crispy or soft?
Both are completely natural—it simply comes down to personal preference.
Crispy Dulse is how locals traditionally enjoy it—dried crispy by the natural sun on Grand Manan Island, creating a light, crunchy texture full of rich flavour.
Soft Dulse is naturally dried and has a tender, chewy texture that’s ready to enjoy straight from the bag. Many people prefer it this way for snacking or adding to recipes.
Whether you enjoy it crispy or soft, you’re experiencing the same premium wild-harvested Dark Harbour Dulse.
How is your seaweed dried?
Our seaweed is naturally sun-dried using the fresh coastal air and sunshine of Grand Manan Island. This traditional drying process helps preserve its natural flavour, colour, texture, and valuable nutrients while maintaining the premium quality that Dark Harbour Dulse is known for.
Where do you ship your seaweeds?
We proudly ship throughout Canada, the United States, and internationally. Our premium wild-harvested seaweeds are enjoyed by customers in homes, restaurants, retailers, and food manufacturers around the world.
What is Dulse?
Dulse (Palmaria palmata) is a wild red seaweed that grows naturally along the cold North Atlantic coastline. It has been enjoyed for centuries as a nutritious food and is naturally rich in minerals, fibre, antioxidants, and essential nutrients. Dulse can be eaten straight from the bag or added to soups, salads, eggs, seafood dishes, smoothies, breads, and many other recipes.
Is seaweed a vegetable?
Yes. Seaweed is commonly known as a sea vegetable because it is an edible marine plant naturally rich in vitamins, minerals, fibre, and antioxidants. It has been enjoyed by coastal communities around the world for thousands of years and is a delicious, nutritious addition to a healthy lifestyle.
