Carrageen Moss - Sun Bleached

Carrageen Moss – Sun Bleached 40g

(Chondrus crispus / Irish Moss)

Sun-bleached Carrageen Moss, also known as Irish Moss, is a wild red seaweed traditionally harvested along the Atlantic coast and laid out to dry naturally under the sun. This gentle bleaching process lightens its colour to cream-gold tones and reduces the strong marine aroma, making it ideal for culinary and wellness uses.

Carrageen Moss is hand-harvested for quality, dried naturally, and packed with its full mineral content preserved. It is naturally vegan, gluten-free, and nutrient-dense, making it a popular ingredient in both traditional recipes and modern health foods.
