Irish Moss (Chondracanthus chamissoi) is a richly russet-hued algae harvested from the Atlantic shores of North America, Great Britain, Iceland, and Ireland. This versatile sea moss has long been valued in both kitchens and homestead apothecaries for its natural properties and uses.

In the kitchen, Irish moss is a traditional thickener for puddings, custards, and jellies. It can be sprinkled onto soups, stews, casseroles, and savory dishes or ground into a powder for smoothies, gummies, and homestead recipes. One of our favorite uses is in homemade elderberry gummies—see the full recipe here:Sea Moss Elderberry Gummies and Sea Moss Tea.

Beyond culinary use, Irish moss is also a popular ingredient for skin and hair care, often boiled and added to soaps, shampoos, lotions, and conditioners for texture and botanical richness.
