Authentic Organic Wild Atlantic Irish Sea moss - Hand-harvested from the Wild Atlantic Way coastline.
Irish Sea moss (Chondrus crisps) is the “original” sea moss. It only grows for a short period throughout the year, limiting how much people can harvest. For this reason it’s much more expensive than other species of sea moss found in tropical waters, where it grows all year round.
Sea moss sourced from Jamaica or other tropical locales may be called Irish moss but it is not Chondrus; it most likely comes from a related genus known as Gracilaria, which has a worldwide distribution.
The sea moss we source is true “wildcrafted” unlike the majority of sea moss currently on the market. Data shows 97% of the global seaweed supply comes from farms - many of these are located in Southeast Asia.
Therefore, the majority of “wildcrafted” sea moss is NOT wildcrafted, and in some cases not even from the region brands are claiming it’s from. Chondrus can also be farmed, but for the most part this hasn’t been profitable and most Chondrus is wild-crafted. Benefits of Irish Sea moss:
