The Dulse Granules are milled from selected dulse which grows in well protected coastal passages, is easier to harvest and gives higher yields. The dulse is sustainably harvested, low temperature dried, certified organic by OCIA, and a raw food. They also voluntarily test for heavy metals, herbicides, pesticides, PCB's, fuel oil, and microbiological contaminants. The only other ingredient is certified organic garlic. Dulse is an especially rich source of potassium, iron, iodine, Vitamin B-6, Riboflavin, and dietary fiber, and provides a complete array of minerals, trace elements, enzymes, and phytochemicals, as well as some high quality vegetable protein. Dulse Granules provide the same outstanding nutrition and good taste as their whole leaf dulse, and at less cost per ounce. They are made from selected Dulse which grows in well-protected coastal passages, is easier to harvest and gives higher yields. The dulse is sustainably harvested, low temperature dried, Certified Organic by OCIA and a Raw Food. They also voluntarily test for heavy metals, herbicides, pesticides, PCB's, fuel oil and microbiological contaminants. Wild Harvested Seaweeds from Downeast Maine Maine Coast Sea Vegetables is located at the very head of Frenchman's Bay. Their certified organic sea veggies are hand harvested from the rocky, sparsely populated "Downeast" coastal area between Bar Harbor and Eastport. The Harvest begins in early April, with snow pack often still on the ground and the shallow coastal inlets still frozen. The low tides of October bring us their last dulse - if they're lucky! All plants are wild and most are certified organic. Organic Certification means higher quality You may wonder why they went to the trouble and expense to become certified organic by Organic Crop Improvement Association (OCIA), particularly as they already test their dried seaweeds for the absence of heavy metals, herbicides, pesticides, and microbiological contaminants. It's true that compared to land plants, they have little control over the growing conditions of their wild marine plants. But they do have choices about how, when, where, and how much they harvest, as well as how the seaweed are transported, dried, stored and packaged. The Organic Standards developed by OCIA address all these areas where unacceptable practices may lead to resource depletion, product contamination, or inferior quality. These standards give clear and uniform direction to all of us (more than 40 now) responsible for harvesting and handling these precious plants. They feel this results in a higher quality as well as a cleaner product for you. Definitely worth the trouble! Harvesting for a superior product Bringing sea veggies from the sea to your plate requires many hands. Perhaps none are more important than the harvesters who select the wild plants from the beds where they grow in remote Downeast bays between Bar Harbor and Eastport. The kelp harvesters are the first to get their boats in the water and don their wetsuits or hipboots in early April. When it isn't clear enough to sun dry these prime plants, indoor drying with wood heat or forced hot air are used. Since 1993 all this harvesting, hauling and storing had been accomplished following the world's first organic certification standards for sea vegetables. This means that each harvester must monitor their beds for sustainability. They must keep their freshly picked plants clear of possible contaminants throughout the harvest transpor
