Irish Moss Seaweed (Chondrus crispus) is a type of red algae found along the Atlantic coast of Europe and North America.
With an impressively high mineral content, Irish Moss can be used as a nutritional supplement and comes in handy in the kitchen as a natural thickener and gelling agent.
At Detox Trading, we source organic Irish Moss Seaweed that is wild-harvested from the fresh waters of Donegal Bay in Ireland. It is sun-dried and carefully handled to retain as much of its purity and nutritional value as possible.
