Product Details

Irish moss, or sea moss, is a species of red algae that thrives in the northern Atlantic Ocean. Chondrus crispus has been used around the world in a variety of applications, from culinary recipes and beauty formulations. This red seaweed naturally contains carrageenan, a substance widely used for its thickening and stabilizing properties. Our organic Irish moss powder can be encapsulated, added to smoothies, or used in seaweed-based broths and soups.

Irish moss is a tough and stringy red, yellow, or purple seaweed growing up to 6 inches (250 mm) high on rocks in tidal pools along the northern Atlantic. Tide pools are an isolated pocket of seawater in the ocean’s intertidal zone. It is harvested to make carrageenan, a thickening agent for jellies, puddings, and soups, and is a traditional herbal remedy in Ireland.
