Dried Irish Moss 20g

Dried Irish Moss 20g

Irish Moss (also called Carrageen or Sea Moss) is primarily used as a vegan alternative to gelatin, a thickener for soups, stews and sauces and to make tea with to act as a cough medicine, or even used in smoothies.

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

The Cornish Seaweed Company team is a small team of passionate Seaweed foragers and farmers based on West Cornwall’s rugged coast.

It can also be applied on the skin to soothe burns, moisturise and it is known to prevent acne and eczema.

All our pouches are now Plastic Free and use biodegradable ink! They contain only paper and are therefore recyclable and compostable.

We offer a range of Organic Seaweeds for use in everyday cooking.

Our Seaweeds have been lovingly hand-picked and are dried at low temperatures to preserve all the nutrients you expect from your sea vegetables.

Our aim is to provide you with an honest superfood of sustainably harvested, local, edible Seaweeds and to introduce these as an alternative food source that is healthy, nutritional, tasty, and good for the environment.

Direction for use:

To create a jelly, boil a small handful of leaves for 20-30 minutes in 1 liter of water.

Most of the seaweed will dissolve.

Push the rest through a sieve and scrape the gelatinous parts that have come through the sieve.

Only when you let it cool down will it become thick.

To make tea with, follow above instructions and add a tea bag of your favourite tea.

Alternatively, simply add cloves, cinnamon, star anise and/or some honey to help against a chesty cough.

For soups,  stews and sauces, simply add a handful of Irish Moss whilst cooking.
