Flake

Sea Vegetable

Flake

Dulse flakes are crumbled dried Palmaria palmata for easy sprinkling—salty, oceanic, faintly sweet. They season potatoes, eggs, fish, and popcorn like a mineral salt with seaweed depth. Bloom briefly in oil or scatter dry as a finish. Buy food-grade deep reddish-purple flakes. Keep dry; humidity clumps and dulls them.
