Irish Moss – Whole Leaf

Wild Harvested Irish Moss from Canada.

Hand-picked Irish Moss (Chrondus Crispus) from the cold, rocky shores of Dark Harbour on Grand Manan Island. The rocky coastline and optimal shade provided by the cliffs create an ideal setting for the Irish Moss to retain its natural nutrients and flavor. Always sun-dried.

To make Irish Moss Paste:

• Soak it overnight or longer and then rinse it well.
• Put about 1/2 a cup of the moss with about 1 1/4 cup water in the blender.
• Blend till it becomes a thick gelatinous consistency.
• Then squeeze it through a nutmilk bag.
• Place in glass bowl in refrigerator to set up.
• Irish moss paste will last in the refrigerator for a at least 10 days.

*Irish Moss is basically flavorless and can be easily added to smoothie, juice and soup recipes or used as a thickener in sauces and raw desserts.

“The cheesecake recipe we used called for a couple tbsps of the moss gel and it really made a big difference in the texture and quality of the dessert. I’ve made raw cheesecakes before, but they were really thick and almost too rich (all nuts). The one I made with irish moss had a lighter, creamier texture but also more structure (it holds itself together)”.
