Irish Moss

Irish Moss is a type of seaweed, also known as carrageen moss, commonly found along the Atlantic coasts. It is valued for its natural thickening properties, as it contains a substance called carrageenan used in foods like dairy products, desserts, and plant-based milks to improve texture. Nutritionally, Irish Moss is rich in minerals such as iodine, calcium, potassium, and magnesium, and it also contains fiber. It has been traditionally used in Irish and Caribbean cuisines and for its potential health benefits, including supporting digestion and thyroid function.
