This nutrient-dense sea vegetable is power-packed with vitamins and minerals that are essential for all functions of the body. Although we commonly called it Irish moss or sea moss, this seaweed is scientifically known as Chondrus crispus. For generations, families have thrived on the nearly 10% protein,15% mineral matter, and rich iodine and sulfur content that this sea vegetable has to offer. Although the yellow Irish moss is regularly consumed, sea moss actually grows in a WIDE range of colors that include greenish-yellow, red, dark purple, and purplish-brown.

Yellow or Purple Sea Moss...Which Should you get?
Selecting between purple and yellow Irish Moss is similar to selecting between purple or green cabbage, purple or white onion, or purple or orange carrots. The truth is that it is all a matter of variety because it is the same plant with a pigment. Since each pigment carries its own beneficial phytochemicals, it is best to rotate your Irish moss intake between the yellow and purple variations in order to get the most benefits from the nutrient-dense sea vegetable.
Irish Sea Moss Benefits:
- Great vegan substitute for gelatin or eggs to emulsify or thicken when required in recipes for puddings, mousses, creams, etc.
- High mineral content that might be missing from a plant-based lifestyle that includes: b-vitamins, beta-carotene, bromine, calcium, carbon-iodine, iron, magnesium, manganese, pectin, phosphorus, potassium, protein, selenium, sulfur compounds, sulfur-containing amino acids (taurine), vitamin c, and zinc.
- Our wildcrafted sea moss is the best option for you because it is naturally grown and harvested in an eco-friendly way that makes it sustainable and free from factory growing processes.

Instructions for Best Use:
[No Heat - Blender Method]
- In a large container, add the desired amount of purple Irish moss that you would like to use and cover it with spring or distilled water. Make sure that the water covers the moss by 2-3 times because the purple moss will expand when rehydrated.
- Allow the purple sea moss to rehydrate for 12-24 hours.
- Pour off the water and thoroughly rinse your purple moss (3-4 times) until all the sand/salt has been removed.
- Place your purple Irish sea moss into your blender.
- Add distilled or spring water until it fills halfway up to the height of your purple sea moss in the blender.
- Blend until smooth, then store your purple Irish moss gel in a clean glass container in the refrigerator.
[Using Heat - Boiling Method]
- In a large container, add the desired amount of purple Irish moss that you would like to use and cover it with spring or distilled water. Make sure that the water covers the moss by 2-3 times because the purple moss will expand when rehydrated.
- Allow the purple sea moss to rehydrate for 12-24 hours.
- Pour off the water and thoroughly rinse your purple moss (3-4 times) until all the sand/salt has been removed.
- Bring a pot of water large enough to hold your purple Irish Moss to a boil.
- Once the water starts to boil, turn the stove over and place your sea moss into the pot.
- Stir the purple sea moss until it dissolves into the water.
