Irish sea moss is a type of red algae (Chondrus crispus) that grows along the coasts of Ireland and the North Atlantic. It's traditionally soaked and blended to release its natural carrageenan content, which gives it a gel-like texture — that's why it's a popular thickener in vegan recipes like smoothies, puddings, soups, and plant-based milks. It's also been a coastal food staple for generations, prized for its versatility in the kitchen.
