The rich, smoky and salty taste of dulse adds depth to dishes of all kinds. |
Eating dulse is an ancient tradition in Scots and Irish culture. It adds a wonderful depth of flavour and is rich in minerals and protein.
Sometimes known as 'vegetarian bacon' it has a wonderful robust flavour that pairs well with seafood, leafy greens and tomatoes.
Mara Seaweed is harvested sustainably from the pure, wild waters around Scotland and Ireland. To avoid contamination, the seaweed is packed into sealed sacks before being brought up the beach and delivered fresh, directly to the factory. The seaweed is picked and processed within 24 hours to lock in flavour, ensure quality and secure maximum nutritional benefits.
Dulse has a natural, lingering smoky taste. It's delicious when generously shaken on dark green vegetables and rich pulse dishes.
For an extra savoury hit without the salt, use dulse flakes to season roasted vegetable, or stir into bolognese sauce or chilli before serving. Dulse is also perfect scattered mixed through crispy kale.
For an unusual salted caramel-style twist, try pairing dulse with dark chocolate. Just combine a pinch of dulse with the other dry ingredients in any brownie or truffle recipe.

The original source of umami, the "fifth flavour" first identified in 1908, kombu / kelp adds a superb deep rich flavour to broths, soups and stocks. |
Kombu is a natural flavour enhancer, with a deep lingering umami savouriness, and a great alternative to salt.

Try Kombu Kelp Strips to soften pulses and grains during both soaking and cooking. |
Kombu is best used in cooking, rather than as a final seasoning: think of it as the stock cube of the sea. Whether you’re making traditional lentil soup or dashi stock for ramen, kelp is a fantastic natural flavour enhancer.
A tablespoon of kombu will soften grains and pulses, and give stews and sauces body. Try it in mushroom risotto, ratatouille or when soaking dried beans for an unbeatable depth of flavour.
Try stirring a teaspoon of kombu into your favourite herbal tea.

These delicate but tasty flakes of ruby, emerald and jade seaweeds provide a versatile flavour boost and natural alternative to salt. |
Mara Seaweed's Shony is a unique blend of three seaweeds: sugar kelp, oarweed and dulse.
The deep umami sweet and savoury flavours of sugar kelp and oarweed (another variety of kelp) combine with the rich, smoky and salty taste of dulse to provide a fusion of flavour, a wonderful combination of natural colours and a great source of nutrition. It's even been described by Paul Hollywood as "inexplicably delicious"!

Laverbread is a Welsh delicacy made from laver seaweed, sea salt and water. It's delicious spread on bread or toast with a little lemon juice or mixed with oatmeal to make laver cakes. |

After being gathered the seaweed is thoroughly washed and is cooked until it becomes soft, then minced to convert it into a paste like texture.
Laver is highly nutritious, very low in calories, rich in protein, contains iodine and vitamins A, B2, C and D.
