Irish Moss - This seaweed is used to make a popular West Indian drink of the same name, often simmered together with flax seeds, gum arabic, cinnamon, and other spices until it forms a thick gel. The gel may be sweetened with honey while hot and drunk as a tea or added to hot cereals, or it may be allowed to cool and eaten like Jell-O or blended with shakes & smoothies. Especially when drunk hot, the tea helps to soothe inflamed mucous membranes and helps to relieve mucous congestion in the bronchial tubes (bronchitis). Irish Moss is very rich in minerals, especially calcium, iodine, and trace minerals, making it useful to support the bones, thyroid, and muscles. It is sometimes used medicinally for kidney troubles. Irish moss also slows digestion and provides essential nutrients which promote the metabolism and help the body to feel fuller & more nourished for those who want to lose weight. Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, Irish moss may be useful in treating arthritis and acid reflux as well. Our wild & organic Irish moss is available in 2 ounce packages.
