Description
Limited supply- If more than 1 Lb is ordered, Irish Moss will be combined into 1 bag.. Irish/ sea moss is not a moss at all; it is a seaweed. The use of seaweeds for food goes back to the primitive societies of Africa and the Aztecs of Mexico. The sea is an inexhaustible storehouse of many things for man, out of the ocean cometh life. Irish Moss is strongly alkaline. The color is a deep purple-brown, often tinged with a purplish-red, paler at the summit, becoming greenish, however when the Moss is exposed to sunlight, it bleaches creamy white and is then frequently called pearl moss or sea moss. Our Irish moss are never pond grown but harvested from the Boltic Sea in the springtime, washed, and spread on the sand some distance from the shoreline, and allowed to dry in the sun until it becomes well-bleached and of a translucent, horny texture, when it is ready for you
