Maine Coast Irish Moss Flakes 454 Grams
Irish Moss is a “red” sea vegetable that grows in the intertidal zone on both sides of the North Atlantic. It is short and bushy, and often found in thick carpets on rocky shores. Our Irish Moss powder and coarse granules are harvested in the Gulf of Maine, and are not bleached.
In Ireland, this sea plant is traditionally boiled with milk and sugar to release the gelling agent contained in the fronds (carrageenan), then cooled to form a pudding, sometimes called "Blancmange." The carrageenan (also called carrageen) extracted from Irish moss is used worldwide as a colloidal thickening agent in many foods and cosmetics. If you eat ice cream, you have probably already eaten this Irish moss extract.
Irish Moss is rich in minerals, vitamins, fiber, and bioactive compounds, such as carrageenan.
As with all of our products, Irish Moss is OCIA* certified organic, sustainably harvested, and samples are tested for heavy metals, pesticides and herbicides, petroleum residues, radioactivity, and microbiological concerns.
*OCIA International is one of the world’s oldest, largest and most trusted leaders in the organic certification industry. A nonprofit, agricultural organization, OCIA is dedicated to providing the highest quality organic certification services
