Description: | Palmaria palmata, also known as 'Dulse', gets its scientific name from its similarity to the shape of a human hand. It is common in the intertidal zone, particularly near low water. Sun dried dulse is eaten as is or ground into flakes or powder for use in soups, chowders and other foods. Dulse is low in sodium but high in some vitamins, iron and potassium. This specimen comes from St. Mary's Island, Tyne and Wear. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | North East plants natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
