Description

Purple Irish Moss (Chondrus crispus) | Dietary Supplement, Whole Dried Seaweed

Gathered from Ireland's rocky Atlantic shores, where it is known as carrageen, Irish moss sustained families during the Great Famine of the 1840s and was simmered into milk puddings and traditional remedies for coughs. The tradition crossed to the Caribbean, where sea moss drinks are still a beloved tonic. This red seaweed is rich in soothing carrageenan and naturally occurring iodine and minerals. Human research on whole Irish moss is limited; most studies are preclinical.*

WHY IRISH MOSS?

  • May support a soothed throat and digestive tract*
  • Provides naturally occurring minerals, including iodine*
  • May support normal, healthy thyroid function*
  • May support healthy-looking skin*
  • True Atlantic Chondrus crispus, in its purple form*

HOW TO MAKE SEA MOSS GEL
Rinse well, then soak 1 oz dried moss in cool water for 12–24 hours until it swells. Rinse again and blend with about 1 cup fresh water until smooth. Store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Take 1–2 Tbsp gel daily in smoothies, tea, or food.
Tip: In Ireland, carrageen was simmered in milk with a little sugar to set a soft pudding called blancmange.
