Pacific Harvest Irish Moss
Irish Moss is an amazing sea vegetable, also referred to as Sea Moss. This amazing sea vegetable has been used for centuries to support a wide variety of ailments, from respiratory issues, bladder disorders, bronchitis, halitosis (bad breath), intestinal disorders and glandular problems to swollen joints, lung difficulties, thyroid conditions, tuberculosis, tumors, and ulcers.
How to use Irish Moss
- add to smoothies and broths as a cleansing and nourishing supplement. It also acts as a gelling agent so can be used as a gelatin substitute.
- use instead of eggs in vegan baking
- use to thicken sauces and add to dressings instead of oil
Irish Moss has a natural deep crimson colour. However, if it has been dried outdoors it can become sun bleached and take on a blonde colour. Pacific Harvest's latest batch has been dried indoors to ensure its quality and therefore is a deep red.
Irish Moss (Chondrus crispus) is also a plentiful source of fibre, vitamin K, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc and many other nutrients (this can vary depending on seasonality).
Directions: Simmer in water to make a broth, or rehydrate and leave to form a gel which will keep for weeks in the fridge. (The gel can be applied directly to skin to moisturise or soothe as an ingredient in home-made cosmetics.) Use the gel to set raw desserts, and to add texture and nutrients to smoothies and jams. Irish Moss can also be used as an egg replacement.
