Dulse is naturally very rich in iodine. Just 2 g of dulse contains approximately 200 μg of iodine , which corresponds to about 133% of the recommended daily intake for adults.
Therefore, we recommend consuming no more than 3–4 g (approx. 1 teaspoon) on 4–5 days per week .
Iodine is a vital mineral, essential for the healthy function of the thyroid gland . However, excessive intake over a prolonged period can lead to problems in sensitive individuals – for example, in cases of hyperthyroidism.
Tip: If you regularly consume other iodine-rich foods (e.g., iodized salt or seafood), you should use dulse sparingly. For healthy individuals, occasional consumption is safe and even recommended – especially for those on a low-iodine diet.
