Irish Moss Flakes (Atlantic)
Price Per Pound:
Chondrus crispus, most often known as Irish moss, is a red seaweed that grows abundantly in the cool waters of rocky North Atlantic coastlines. Its short, frilly fronds give it a moss-like appearance, albeit in a deep red or purple color.
Irish moss is a source of carrageenan, a gelatinous substance widely used as a thickening agent for foods. Traditionally, carrageenan is used to thicken puddings, custards, and jellies or as a demulcent in medicinal broths. The rich, soothing texture of Irish moss also makes it a popular ingredient in skin soaps, lotions, and creams.
Nutrient-dense Irish moss contains every mineral needed for human health, including calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and zinc. It is especially rich in iodine and should be used with caution by anyone with thyroid disease.
Irish moss flakes may be added directly to soups or smoothies or boiled to extract carrageenan. The flakes have an earthy aroma and a bland, almost undetectable flavor when cooked.
