Purple Irish Sea Moss (Chondrus), Powder, Dried
Purple Irish Moss (Chondrus Crispus) is a nutrient-packed, sustainable superfood harvested from the pristine waters of the Gulf of Maine. Famous for its deep color and rich mineral content, it's a powerful addition to smoothies, teas, and natural beauty routines.
Common Names: Irish moss, Sea Moss, Purple Irish Moss
Scientific Name: Chondrus crispus
Locations: lower intertidal and in tide pools, sometimes washed up on beaches after storms. Irish moss is a perennial seaweed that grows on a narrow band of rocks at the low, low tide mark.
Seasonality: We have a good supply on hand at present and are harvesting during the winter as we can.
Sustainably Wild-Crafted & Hand-Harvested: We harvest and dry 80% of our annual inventory during the months of April - October, so you can expect some very tender and fresh early spring sea moss fronds - right off the rocks / beds here in our bay. All our Chondruscrispus is hand harvested by local pickers. We wash this ‘wild-crafted’ seaweed in cold Atlantic sea water before spreading it out in our greenhouse to dry.
Commitment to Sustainability and Future Growth: At present we are scaling up our network of local fishermen and harvesters to grow our annual supply while also preserving healthy Irish Moss growth and sustainable harvests into the future! :)
Colors: dark red, maroon, wine colored; black when dried
Size: range from 2" - 4" long fronds
Collected: by hand, cut off the rocks
Quantity: 1 lb. dried for human consumption. Deep red and black color when dried
Grind mesh: .015 mesh screen / hammermill
For use : Add to smoothies, blend with water to make gel, or put into capsules for easy consumption
A Nutrient-Dense Superfood: Purple Irish Moss is packed with essential nutrients, including iodine, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Known for supporting immune function, promoting healthy digestion, and nourishing skin, it's the perfect addition to your wellness routine.

Frond of Irish moss in the sunlight.
Tidepool Tim says, “Irish moss is one of the most celebrated seaweeds of all time. Widely known for its ability to be used in products for human consumption, especially for its carrageenan producing abilities. It works well as a thickening agent in products like ice cream, shampoos, and other foods. Irish Moss is becoming especially popular lately as a nutrient dense addition to a healthy diet, however moss has been harvested for centuries all along European shores, in the U.K., in the Canadian maritime provinces, and down along the coasts of New England. Moss fronds are commonly coated with various species of bryozoans and the clumps themselves are home to periwinkle snails, isopods, and even worms.”
