Irish Moss Powder (Sold In Bulk)

Irish moss powder is essentially the dried and powdered form of Irish moss (or carrageen moss). Like the cut and sifted version, it retains many of the same beneficial properties, including its high mineral content and thickening capabilities. The powder is more concentrated and can be a bit easier to incorporate into various recipes because it dissolves more quickly than the whole or cut version.

It’s commonly used in smoothies, shakes, and teas, and you can also use it to thicken soups, sauces, or desserts like puddings. In the plant-based cooking world, Irish moss powder is often used as a vegan alternative to gelatin or agar-agar for making things like jellies, gummies, and vegan cheesecakes.

It’s also great for skin care—some people make DIY face masks or body lotions with it for its moisturizing and skin-soothing properties.
