Organic Irish moss (Chondrus crispus), also known as carrageen moss, is a type of red algae that’s commonly used in both culinary and medicinal practices. When cut and sifted, it’s ready for use in teas, smoothies, or as a thickening agent for various recipes. It has a mild, salty taste and is often used to create a gel-like consistency in foods like puddings, soups, and sauces.
In terms of health benefits, Irish moss is rich in minerals, especially iodine, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. It’s often used for its potential to support digestion, boost the immune system, and promote skin health due to its collagen-building properties. It's also a popular ingredient in plant-based cooking for vegan alternatives to gelatin (like in vegan gummy candies or puddings).
