Description
Jamaican Pride Irish Sea Moss 55 lb
“Irish moss” refers to two very different things: a popular groundcover plant (Sagina subulata) used in gardens for its moss-like appearance, and a red seaweed (Chondrus crispus) harvested from Atlantic coasts for its thickening agent, carrageenan, used in foods and products. The plant forms dense green mats, thrives in sun, and tolerates light foot traffic, while the seaweed is boiled to create a jelly, rich in minerals, and used as a food additive.
