Irish Moss

2oz (60 ml)

Irish moss is a species of red algae that grows abundantly along the rocky shores of the Atlantic coast of Europe and North America. Here are some of the potential benefits of Irish moss:

Nutrient-Rich: Irish moss is a good source of essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A, vitamin K, vitamin E, calcium, potassium, magnesium, and iodine. These nutrients are important for overall health and can support various bodily functions.

Digestive Health: Irish moss contains a soluble fiber known as carrageenan, which can help soothe the digestive tract and alleviate symptoms of indigestion, such as bloating and nausea.

Respiratory Health: Some traditional remedies suggest that Irish moss may help relieve respiratory issues, such as coughs and bronchitis, due to its mucilaginous properties, which can help soothe irritated mucous membranes.

Immune Support: Some of the vitamins and minerals found in Irish moss, such as vitamin C and zinc, may help support the immune system and protect against illness.

Joint Health: Some people believe that Irish moss can help reduce joint pain and inflammation, although more research is needed to confirm this effect.

Directions

1. Rinse and Soak: Start by rinsing the Irish moss thoroughly to remove any debris or sea salt. Use cold water for this step. After rinsing, place the Irish moss in a bowl of cold water and let it soak for 15-30 minutes to rehydrate. The moss will expand and become softer. 2. Remove Excess Water: After soaking, drain and rinse the Irish moss again to remove any excess water. 3. Blend: Blend the soaked and drained Irish moss with fresh water until it becomes smooth and gel-like. You can adjust the amount of water to achieve your desired thickness. 4/ Refrigerate and enjoy!
