Irish Sea moss is a small sea algae that ranges in color depending on maturity and growing conditions such as amount of sunlight. This sea algae is the authentic Irish Sea moss, which is wild harvested from cold Atlantic coastlines by local fishermen. Chondrus Crispus grows exclusively in the cold northern waters, unlike Caribbean sea moss. Similar to Caribbean sea moss, Chondrus releases a gelling agent when boiled that is commonly known as carrageenan. Traditional uses include “setting” desserts such as puddings and ice-cream. It is an excellent thickening agent in soups and broths. This algae is sought after as it is known to have an extensive list of healing properties.
