Organic Irish Sea Moss Powder is made from hand-harvested Chondrus crispus, known both as Irish Sea Moss and carrageen moss. It is a natural seaweed, valued for centuries in traditional diets along the coasts of Ireland and the Atlantic, where it thrives on the rocky shores of the cold, mineral-rich ocean. Our product comes from the pristine marine ecosystem of Ireland, where sea moss grows naturally and abundantly.
Special Drying Method
This Irish Sea Moss Powder stands out thanks to its non-sunbleached drying process. Direct UV light can break down natural pigments and reduce nutrient content, which is why shade-drying at low temperatures is used. This ensures:
-
A deeper natural color – a purple to reddish tone, rather than the beige or yellowish shade of sun-dried moss.
-
Richer nutritional value – more vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants preserved.
Color and Pigment Significance
The deeper tone of non-sunbleached sea moss indicates the preservation of bioactive compounds, including anthocyanins, which give the powder its reddish or purple hue and act as natural antioxidants. This makes the powder not only visually distinctive but also nutritionally more valued.
Nutritional Potential
Irish Sea Moss Powder is a natural source of minerals and contains abundant amounts of:
