Description

Carragheen is also know as Irish Moss or Carrageen (from the Irish word carraigín meaning “little rock”).

It is a type of red algae that grows in the lower shore zone and is harvested at low tides during the summer months.

It can be used as vegan thickening agent in desserts, soups or aspics.

In Ireland there is a long history using Carrageen in soothing drinks for coughs and colds. Added to milk with a little bit of honey and vanilla, it was given as a healthy treat to the children.

Vitamins A, E, F and K, calcium, potassium, and magnesium are some of the health benefits of Irish Moss.

Harvested in Ireland

Our mission is to provide organic certified seaweed in the highest quality through edible seaweed products and nutritional supplements. All our seaweeds are harvested locally here in Donegal/Ireland.

As it is important for us to have a sustainable way to deal with nature, we harvest only by hand. This allowing the growth of seaweeds every year. Moreover, with regular harvesting all these seaweeds they come back with a stronger growth each season.
