Irish moss, also referred to as sea moss, is a species of red algae growing up to 6 inches (250 mm) high on rocks in tidal pools along the northern Atlantic. Chondrus crispus has a history of traditional herbal use throughout Europe and holds a place within Irish folklore. Nowadays, this “superfood” seaweed is consumed for its vitamin and mineral content.
