Introducing our Irish Moss, a nutrient-rich seaweed native to the rocky northern Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Unlike sea moss, which is found in the tropical Atlantic, Irish moss is a dark, leafy seaweed with distinct qualities.
**Key Benefits:**
**1. Nutrient-Packed:** Irish moss is a rich source of essential vitamins, including A, E, F, and K, as well as minerals like calcium, potassium, and sulfur. It is also a natural provider of iodine, which is crucial for maintaining a healthy thyroid.
**2. Respiratory Health:** Irish moss, abundant in potassium chloride, may help alleviate congestion, reduce mucus production, and possesses antibacterial and antiviral properties.
**3. Skin Soothing:** This seaweed is believed to be beneficial for dry skin and a variety of skin conditions, from eczema to psoriasis. It is a prized ingredient in lotions and moisturizers.
**4. Historical Significance:** Irish Moss gained recognition during the 1800s Irish potato famine when people, desperate for food, turned to the red algae found on rocks. Its name, as well as its alternative name "carrageen moss," is attributed to its high carrageen content. Carrageen is used in food production as a stabilizing agent and thickener.
