Hand-harvested from the clean, wild Atlantic waters off the Connemara coast, Carrageen Moss – also known as Irish Moss – is a traditional Irish seaweed long valued for its natural gelling properties and wellness benefits. Naturally dark red-brown in colour, it turns a pale golden hue as it dries in the sun.
Carrageen is a versatile seaweed used to thicken and set a variety of dishes including panna cotta, mousse, and traditional puddings. Simply soak, boil, and strain before incorporating into sweet or savoury recipes. It’s also a popular home remedy, often simmered with honey and ginger as a soothing drink for sore throats and colds.
