Organic Irish Moss Powder (Organic Irish Moss Powder)

Sea moss has a long history of being used for purported nutritional and medicinal benefits. Some evidence points to the use of sea moss in Chinese medicine as far back as 600 B.C., and by 400 B.C., it had become a food source across the British Isles. Sea moss proved an important source of nutrition in Ireland during the Great Famine in the mid-19th century, and Irish immigrants later established seaweed farms in the United States. Following agar shortages during World War II, sea moss increased in popularity as a replacement food thickener and emulsifier.
