Irish Moss is unprocessed, raw seaweed, which can be used as a gelling agent without cooking. It’s an amazing thickener and emulsifier (able to bind fat and water-based ingredients) and can help cut down on the number of nuts needed in many recipes. It is also known as pearl moss, carrageen moss, seamuisin, curly moss, curly gristle moss, Dorset weed, jelly moss, sea moss, white wrack, and ragglus fragglus.
In its fresh condition, it is soft and cartilaginous, varying in color from a greenish-yellow to red, dark purple, or purplish-brown. I have only used the yellow tinted one.
It is easy to use, but it can be challenging to find in health food stores. It’s always best to source seaweed from a reputable company that practices sustainability and harvests responsibly.
Over the years, I have tested several different brands, and my all-time favorite is Whole Leaf Irish Moss as well as Markus Rothkranz Sea, Moss. I don’t use the powder or flake form, because it’s been dried through cooking in an oven and it loses the great qualities that the fresh stuff has.
There is a lot of controversy about Irish moss. There have been health concerns about the food additive “carrageenan gum,” which is derived from Irish moss. This additive is found in many commercially, highly processed foods. It is a chemically extracted isolate and is not the same as Irish Moss in its natural state.
Everyone stopped right there with the headlines that they read and touted Irish Moss as “harmful” to use in raw food recipes. But from all the reading that I had have done… it is not the same as consuming pure Irish Moss. Carrageenan is a heated and concentrated form of Irish Moss that is has been highly processed into chemical form. Carrageenan has lost the nutritional value of Irish Moss and makes it a health hazard. Mike Adams, in his book Food Forensics, states, “The native carrageenan used in foods begins not degraded, but a certain percentage becomes inherently degraded through the alkaline-based extraction process. This process contributes to a potentially dangerous and inflammatory form of carrageenan seeping into foods.“
There are a few sites out there that speak strongly against it and others that don’t. To read all points of view, please click (here). I ask that you always do your own thorough research, read the papers yourself, and make your own decisions. I am not here to debate its pros and cons. Please do your homework if you are concerned about it — updated 01/14/17.
Ingredients:Yields roughly 2 cups paste
The gel is used in different recipes, or you can add it to a salad dressing, mayonnaise, smoothie, or any other dish that requires thickening. Use 2-3 tablespoons of gel for 1 cup of dough or liquid. It works very well also to keep nut milks from separating while in the fridge and to make them thicker (one teaspoon will suffice here).
Irish Moss will make any liquid fluffy and is a substitute for gelatin and other thickeners. You may use it for sweet desserts, ice-creams, shakes, parfait, mousse, pies, as well as savory dishes, nut cheese, and nut “yogurt.” This product can thicken your recipes and give a gel-like texture that you would get from adding a bunch of fat and nuts. So you really can make guilt-free raw desserts and dressings!
I would like to try using Irish moss in dessert recipes. Which website can I purchase it at cheaper prices?
Susan,
I like to get my Irish moss through Raw Food World Store (on-line) http://www.therawfoodworld.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=100395&products_id=1004835.
I have come to learned that finding the cheapest Irish moss isn’t always the best, you want to aim for quality and so far I have really been pleased with the one that they sell. I have bought “off-brand” ones and fund them undesirable. They were filled with all sorts of junk. amie sue
Oh the advertures i am having in the raw kitchen! Aimee-Sue, i am wondering why your irish moss is so white and mine is quite brown. Are there different kinds?
Hello Robyn!
I am so glad that you are having fun adventures in the kitchen! They say that the kitchen is the heart of the home… seems only right that we serve the best tasting, nutritious foods from the heart. :) Regarding the Irish moss, the picture of my Irish moss is AFTER the soaking process. When you are referring to yours being a brownish color, is that before or after soaking? Can you send me the brand name of the one you are using? I have learned over the years to buy a good quality one. I always look for one that is closest to being a whitish/tan color. So, let’s start with the brand you are using and if your coloring is when it is dry or soaked. That will be a good starting point for me to help answer this.
Have a blessed evening! amie sue
Is the Irish Mossmeasurement (2 ounces) prior to or after soaking?
Thanks!!!
Morning Chris,
2oz before soaked. :) Have a fun day in the kitchen!
Hi Amie-Sue,
thanks for posting this info on Irish moss – I just made up a large batch of gel and want to try your freezing technique on it. Have you used the frozen gels successfully? Does the gel strength stay the same after freezing?
Thanks for your help!
Suzanne
Hi Suzanna,
Personally, my frozen Irish moss seemed to work just fine. I don’t do it very often but so far when I have, it worked.
Hi,
I’m just curious about freezing the irish moss gel. I didn’t see anything about it in the article. What does freezing do? Thanks.
Hello Brigittegoble,
I have frozen it before and it turned out fine. I would freeze it in portions that I typically use. Blessings, amie sue
What can you use if you can’t find or don’t have on hand Irish moss? Or is there no substitute?
Hi Mici,
It all depends on the recipe and what you are making. Sometimes you can get away without using it, or one could use ground flax, chia seeds or psyllium…. again it just depends. If you find a recipe that you have in mind, let me know and I can give a better answer. :)

I have irish moss powder that I purchased from Mountain Rose Herbs. How do I convert this in the recipes? I Have tried it a couple times and seems that maybe I should use a lot less than I am using. So far I have tried half. Seems I can taste it a little too much. I am afraid that if I use too little I will not get the texture that the recipes are going for. Have you experimented with this? Do you think the paste “works” better? Would you recommend making a paste from the powder before using in recipes? I have just been throwing it in dry.
Good morning Amy,
I don’t have any experience with dealing with irish moss powder, just the in the whole form, so I can’t really be of any help. A few months back I wanted to try the powder version but Mountain Rose Herbs was out of it. I should order some now and check it out. It sounds like you have done quite a bit of testing with it and I encourage you to continue. Keep a log of measurements and outcomes and soon you will find the right quantity to use and how it words best. Have a wonderful day, amie sue
I just read in Matthew Kenney’s dessert book not to soak Irish Moss more than 3-4 hours, or it starts to lose some of its gelling properties.
I can’t say that I have lost any gelling properties with the length of time that I soak mine. My main goal to make sure that I get ride of that smell and taste of any seaweed. :)
Hi there, I LOVE Your site and I so happy I found it! I have a question about the irish moss. I don’t own a commercial blender (blendtec or vitamix). Will I still be able to blend irish moss into a gel form without a high powered blender? Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you!
Good morning Jenn,
You should be able to achieve the Irish moss paste with a high powered blender with no problem. I recommend that you stop the blending process now and then and test the consistency. Put a little of it on your forefinger and rub it with your thumb. You don’t wan’t any lumps or granular feeling. Keep processing until it is smooth.
Can you use xanthan gum instead of the Irish moss?

Hello Amie,
I am amazed at the amount of work you must put into this website, and that these delicious looking recipes and advice are available free is fantastic!
I have been considering making some of the cheesecake recipes, in particular the Pumpkin Spice. I am hesitant to use lecithin because I try to avoid processed foods. I was hoping your food techniques section might have a lecithin section and shed some light on the matter. I’d appreciate any opinions/info regarding lecithin.
Also, I was wondering if Irish moss might work as a replacement for lecithin in the cheesecake recipes. If not, do you have another whole food, alternative suggestion?
Thank you for all your hard work.
Good morning Vanessa,
Thank you very much for your kind words. It is a labor of love and passion.
The Pumpkin Spice cheesecake is truly amazing and I really hope that you make it. They do make a raw lecithin, called sunflower lecithin made from…sunflowers. That is the one that I use now because I have to avoid soy. I highly recommend trying it. Here is a link to the one I buy. I do however have to order it because I have yet to find it locally, but well worth it.
https://nouveauraw.com/special-raw-ingredients/raw-lecithin-thickener/
Irish moss should work as well. Here is a link about it incase you haven’t seen it. https://nouveauraw.com/raw-techniques/irish-moss-gel/ I personally haven’t tried in this recipe but I would use about 1 cup of Irish moss gel. Be sure to really go through the soak and rinsing process to omit as much of the seaweed smell and taste.
One last suggestion… You could just omit the thought of using lecithin or Irish moss and make this “pie” in individual serving cups. I tend to do this more and more because it is such a sweet way to present it for parties. I use plastic or glass 3-5 ounce cups. It makes it easy for people to eat as they tend to nibble on it as they walk around and mingle, plus it helps with portion control. If you go this route you don’t have to worry about the pie holding shape. It is almost more like a custard. Just an option to keep in the back of your mind.
I hope this was helpful. If you have any other questions please don’t hesitate to ask. I will do my best to help. amie sue

Thanks for all your wonderful experimentation and discovery. The irish moss I use is from Transition Nutrition and it seems to be the cleanest and finest I’ve come across. I understand they supply Living Light Culinary Institute, Cafe Gratitude and some of the other companies mentioned in this stream. Its available from some Whole Foods and their company website, transitionnutrition.com.
Thank you Paul for your kind words and for sharing that resource. I have never seen Irish moss in a store so that is great that WF is picking it up. Have a great weekend!

I was wondering about irish moss. Another website claims that it causes inflammation. They claim that irish moss should be avoided. Is that true? If it is, what can be used in its’ place in your recipes?
Hi Marlene,
There is a bit of controversy floating around regarding the use of Irish moss. Personally, I will continue to use every now and again for certain recipes. This is not an ingredient that I consume very often so I don’t believe that the small amount I will ingest is enough to hurt me. The properties that Irish moss in some recipes can’t be replaced so it will be a case by case situation. If you have a particular recipe that you have in question please let me know and I will do my best to help.
Here is an article from Elaina Love… after reading it and doing further research you will need to decide for yourself how you feel about it. http://elainalove.com/2012/10/13/the-buzz-about-irish-moss/

Hi I love your site is has so many wonderful recipes thank you for offering them to us. I am new to making raw desserts/foods. I made your mudslide pie several days ago it was delicious!! My next venture is going to be tiramisu. I had some questions about substitutions for the Irish moss. I saw you had posted an alternate recipe using Agar Agar was there any feedback on how that worked? Also are there any other substitutions you could use such as lecithin? Or coconut oil to help thicken? If so how much would you use in place of the Irish moss/Agar Agar?
Thanks,
Lyndsey
Hi Lyndsey… no one has responded as to whether or not they tried the agar agar, so not sure on that. I am hoping to find the time to make it this weekend with the agar so I can give a for sure recommendation on using it or not. I am also messing around with blending raw kelp noodles to a paste to use instead. The experimenting just takes me time.
The lecithin is pretty important and really recommend using it. It a great emulsifier to bring the fats and other liquids together. If you can find it in yourself to try it, you will find it to be a great ingredient for so many wonderful recipes in the raw world.
I am so glad that you enjoyed the Mud Slide pie… scrumptious! I will post back here once I make this pie again with the agar. Have a blessed evening. amie sue
Amie thanks for the quick reply! I used the lecithin and have no problems with it I agree it is a great emulsifier. What i meant to ask was if you could use more lecithin in the recipe to thicken it instead of using the irish moss/agar agar? I can’t wait to try this recipe and can’t wait to hear your feed back on how the agar agar/ kelp noodles work.. Have a great day!! Lyndsey
Hi Lyndsey… to answer your question… No, the lecithin and irish moss play different roles in this recipe. The lecithin is an emulsifier and the irish moss helps make the a dessert firm, gives it the body. I hope to play around in the kitchen this weekend. :)
Ok thanks!!
hello mam.I am a student. I want to use Irish moss for DNA isolation. can i use as a gel?
thank you………….
I am afraid that I don’t know what you mean by DNA isolation?
What do you mean at the end of your recipe by “To use in a recipe, use 1-5 Tbsp of Irish moss gel to 1 cup of product” – what is the ‘product’? I have been using agar in some recipes because I could buy that locally without having to order. Have you used it at all and what’s the comparison between the two? Thank you!
Hi Karen,
This recipe for Irish moss gel can be used in recipes that you create on your own. So the measurement amount to use is a suggestion based on what your recipe is and what texture is desired. So, for example… if you are making a pudding and want structure but don’t want it stiff, you can add 1 or 2 Tbsp of gel to 1 cup of your pudding volume. Does that make sense? If you want a really stiff pudding you can add 4-5 Tbsp of gel to the 1 cup of pudding volume. Or if you have 2 cups of pudding, you then can add 8-10 Tbsp. 3 cups of pudding = 16-20 Tbsp and on and on. I hope this helped. If not please let me know. Have a wonderful evening Karen. amie sue
Hi Amie-Sue, did you get around to trialling agar/agar?
Can you clarify what you are asking Diane? :)
Hi Amie Sue, have you tested substituting irish moss gel with agar agar in recipes?
Hello Diane,
Not with all. It is still on my list to do for the main recipes that a lot of people make on my site. Have a great day, amie sue
Ok. I’ll keep a look out. I was interested in substituting it in the nut free strawberry cake.
Cheers from Australia.
So I got around to getting my Irish Moss. I wish I read the comments here before purchasing, the one I got was on the cheaper side from what I have found on the market. It seems okay so far but I can tell there is a lot of sand and stuff in it, and it is darker but when I soaked it turned much lighter. It took me forever to rinse! I seriously think I rinsed it 20 times but it still seems to “drain” some debris, and I can’t tell if it’s dirt, or just smaller broken up irish moss from all the pressure applied.
It seems no matter what I do I can’t completely get rid of that “ocean” smell from the irish moss, no matter how many times I rinse this.
Sorry to hear this Andrew… I can’t really speak for whatever brand you bought but I haven’t had this experience so far. I mean, I have seen some sand and the smell is there in the beginning but after going through the process as instructed I end up with a beautiful Irish moss paste. Perhaps try a different brand? Have a great weekend Andrew… amie sue

Good morning Amie !
First of all, I want to thank you for all your wonderful recipes. Since I started the raw food journey, anytime that my husband sees me on the computer (every night or so) I am on your website !
Just wanted to share this link with you about the irish moss :(
http://www.rawmazing.com/irish-moss-health-concerns/
Good morning Julie… I am happy to hear that you are enjoying my site. I put a lot of love, passion and work into it. :)
I am aware of the article that you posted here and have addressed below. (back in March of 2013) You can read my stance on it there if you wish to. I only use Irish moss maybe once a year and only have but a handful of recipes that use it. If you thoroughly Google Irish moss, you will find those who have been in the raw food movement for it and against it. It can be quite frustrating but in the end we all have to make decisions based on what we feel is right for ourselves. Have a blessed and wonderful weekend. amie sue
How about irish moss being bad for you? Can be very bad… See here:
http://www.rawmazing.com/irish-moss-health-concerns/
http://www.cornucopia.org/shopping-guide-to-avoiding-organic-foods-with-carrageenan/
I am very aware of this Nelli, this has been talked within the comments. If any one is in doubt of using it, don’t. If you are not sure… read read and read, there is a lot of information on the web that supports its use and other sites that argue against it.
do you have a telephone number?
I do …. what can I help you with Kim?
I’m trying to make a panna cotta but without gelatin. I understand that irish moss might be a suitable substitution. I’ve come across several different techniques and I’m a little overwhelmed. I’ve seen the paste version but also cooking the soaked moss with the liquid for about 10 min and then discard. How would you suggest using the irish moss?
Hello Matthew,
Personally, I use the technique that I shared here. I haven’t ever cooked it or with it. The whole soaking process is to reduce the smell and taste of the ocean, which you really don’t want to detect in the panna cotta. Are you making the whole recipe raw? You can also use agar (which isn’t raw), and other ingredients can give the dessert that creamy mouth feel such as blended young Thai coconut meat or/and coconut oil.
Good luck and let me know if you have any further questions, amie sue
I made carrageen moss yesterday, but it did not set, I soaked it, then boiled it n water. It is very dark brown in colour. What can I do for it to set..

Hi – love your website and so impressed with your generosity of sharing!! Am just making my first bread!! I have made my Irish Moss paste and have it labelled for 3 weeks time but you said you have had it last longer. My question is how do you know when it is “off”?
Thanks
Drew (New Zealand)
Hello Drew,
Thank you for the kind words. I am guided by my love and passion for eating healthy and helping others as I can. :)
Irish moss once blended into a past won’t have an exact expiration date. There are many variables that might shorten or extend its shelf life. It’s always best to use as soon as possible rather than skating the fine line of it being questionable… But I have had a jar get lost in the back of the fridge from time to time. When in doubt — I throw it out. Otherwise you just need to relay on your sense of site (do you see any fuzzy creatures growing, has the consistency radical shifted, does the coloring look off?) Open the jar and smell it. It will naturally have a bit of aroma of the ocean breeze, but if you sense any other odd odors, toss it.
When you make the paste, right away take note of how it looks, smells and feels. Use that as your guideline. I hope this helps some. Blessings and enjoy your weekend. amie sue
I just tried soaking some irish moss from Transition Nutrition. I took a small handful. Rinsed it in a strainer under cold water. Then put it in a jar and immersed it in cold water to soak. Every few hours I would rinse it in the same strainer and then soak it again. It seems like every time I strained the irish moss I lost most of the irish moss in the water. I ended up with less than what I started with! But it had that stinky seaweed smell so I kept doing it until the smell was no longer offensive. But I’m upset that over half of my irsh moss got lost in the water. Should I have not strained it so many times? Should I have just let it soak longer and strained it once?
I just want to add that I tried blending the little amount I had left. I guess I added too much water because it’s way thinner than what is shown in the picture. It’s also more yellow.
Hello there Brigittegoble,
I’ve never had this experience before. It always grows in volume. Where the pieces really tiny? What type of strainer do you use? Did it fall through the strainer holes. How long did you do the soak and rinse process? It’s a little hard to say for sure without me seeing it. I tend to only rinse it 2-3 times throughout the soaking time.
If you feel that the batch that you got was a bad batch, I would contact the company and see if they would replace it for you. I look forward to hearing back from you. Blessings, amie sue
Hi Amie:
Hope all is well. I made your strawberry-chaco tarte a while ago and wondered how long the Irish Moss gel keeps in the fridge? Thanks for letting me know. Very best, Gaby

All is well, thank you. And for you? :)
The Irish Moss will keep upwards of 3 weeks in a sealed container in the fridge. How was the tart? Blessings, amie sue
Hello Amie:
Good to hear that all is well. For me too – very well :)!
Hmmm … need to do some more Irish Moss dish soon as it’s about to go bad. The tart was fantastic! I love it … made it for friends who were visiting from Switzerland. The sweetest thing was that there 10year old daughter was so astonished that something healthy could taste so good :). She keeped asking me how that was even possible ha ha ha.
Blessings back to you :)

I just love hearing that younger kiddos enjoy the recipes too. They can be one of the toughest groups to impress. hehe Thanks so much for sharing. What dish do you have in mind next? I hope you have a wonderful day. Blessings, amie sue
Hi there. Playtime in the kitchen yesterday involved the soaking, rinsing and blending of Irish moss. It doubled in the soaking and I let it go 12+ hours. I changed the water a couple of times and rinsed it well before blending. In that final rinse it seemed to fall apart and the doubling was almost gone. I blended for a couple of minutes – creamy and a little more soupy than gel like. This morning after refrigeration it is still soupy. Thoughts?
Good afternoon MaSilvestri,
It sounds like you did everything right. I do notice that is can have slight differences based on the brand and quality of the Irish Moss you purchase. Did you add water to it while it blended? That might be why it got too thin. If it is liquidy, you can still use it in the bread recipes, just watch the overall texture of the batter. I am not sure which recipe you are making. And just to make sure, when you say soupy.. if you tip the jar upside down does it pour out like a thin soup? amie sue
Thanks for getting back to me – I really appreciate the assistance. The moss pours like a cross between a thick tomato soup and maple syrup. It runs as opposed to a thick gel which I imagine wiggles on a spoon but doesn’t pour. Perhaps the words are getting in the way.
Anyway, I went ahead and made the rosemary olive flatbread – I made it very flat like a pizza crust. It made one sheet of this and four round individual size pizzas that are a little bit thicker. The taste is good (don’t you love that you can eat the raw batter!) but I don’t know how the texture is supposed to turn out. They are in the dehydrator right now – temp just turned down to 115 from 145.
I was looking for other recipes to use the moss goop – but want to be sure about texture.
The moss is from terra soul.
Thank you for all your exploring and generosity in sharing your results. All I can say is that its too bad I can only eat so much! I spend at least an hour a day reading your website.
Good health to you and thoughts for your husband.
Mary Anne
You are very welcome Mary Anne, my pleasure. :)
The way you just described the gel totally helps. When I use the Irish moss gel for the bread, it is firm and wiggles, like you mentioned. There is nothing lost with what you have on hand though. It is great to put in smoothies, add to salad dressings, creamy nut cheeses, and you can even use it as a facial mask. I did that last winter. :) It will keep in the fridge for many weeks, so don’t feel that you are pressured into using it all up now.
I know the Terra Soul brand but haven’t tried their Irish moss. My favorite is this one: http://markusrothkranz.com/online-store/sea-moss-collagen/index.html.
I hope you enjoy the bread, keep me posted how it turns out. Many blessings, amie sue
Thanks. That info helps. I think I didn’t give the bread long enough. The edges were done but the middle was a little mushy in places. We had it with pumpkin seed pesto and fresh tomatoes! So good.

Hi Amie-Sue,
I’m making this focaccia tomorrow, I have made the Italian bread stick before the first time I followed your recipe and found it a bit too sweet so when I made it another time I didn’t use the date paste, and everyone aprreciated it. So I’m gonna made this focaccia without the date paste so it’s not too sweet. What was the use of the date paste I would like to know.
Thanks have a great day.😀
Good morning Jacinte,

Hi Amie,
We got Irish moss from the amazon (True sea moss brand), but my wife says that cakes with moss don’t have the best aftertaste. Any advice, brand recommendations?
Thank you.
Good evening Marinko,
For me, it’s all about the brand (quality) and the process in which you clean and soak it. As indicated in the post my all-time favorite Irish moss that I use and will only use at this point is this one – https://www.markusrothkranz.com/online-store/wildforce-nutrition/raw-irish-sea-moss.html#sthash.55PbpF4d.dpbs.
