A type of edible seaweed found along the coasts of the British Isles and used in traditional cuisine.
From Irish 'dilleasc' (dillusk), composed of 'dill' (leaf) and 'easc' (water). It's the same plant as palmaria palmata, valued for centuries in Irish and Scottish coastal cooking.
Dillisk is packed with iodine, iron, and vitamins—Irish coastal people were unknowingly getting perfect nutrition from snacking on seaweed long before modern nutritional science proved why they felt so healthy!
