🧾 Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Chondrus Crispus different from other types of sea moss?
While there are many species of sea moss, Chondrus Crispus has been popularized as the original Irish Moss, known for its fan-like fronds and thick gelling properties. Unlike tropical varieties that grow in warmer waters, this species thrives in colder oceans and has a long history of use in Ireland and all over the world. If you are used to sea moss sourced from the Caribbean please note this has a completely different texture, appearance and you may notice a difference in preparation.
Is this the same as Carrageenan?
Chondrus Crispus naturally contains carrageenan, which gives it its thick, gel-like texture. This is different from processed carrageenan extract used in food manufacturing.
