The Cornish Seaweed Company - Organic Dried Irish Moss 20g

Irish Moss (also called Carrageen or sea moss) is primarily used as a plant-based alternative to gelatin. Thicken soups, stews and sauces, and even panna cotta. 

A versatile seaweed, Irish Moss also contains powerful healing properties. Apply directly to sooth irritated or inflamed skin. 

Taste: Irish Moss is virtually tasteless as it is air dried and sun bleached, but has a mildly sweet odour.

Use: For soups, stews and sauces, simply add a handful of Irish Moss whilst cooking.To create a jelly, boil a small handful of leaves for 20-30 minutes in 1 litre of water. Push the rest through a sieve and scrape the gelatinous parts that have come through the sieve. As it cools, it will thicken. 

To battle chesty coughs and colds simmer a few sprigs in water or milk with desired herbs or spices (cloves/cinnamon/star anise) for 10 mins then push through a sieve. Sweeten with honey if desired
