Raw Irish Moss (Sea Moss) 8oz - Wild Harvested, Sun Dried, Raw

This Raw Irish Sea Moss is wild harvested from the ocean and naturally sun-dried. The batches of this Irish sea moss vary in color from light brown to a more translucent clear colour depending on the moisture level in the Irish sea moss. Since our Irish Sea Moss is wild harvested, it contains natural salt on its surface, bits of mesh (from the nets used to harvest it) and sand which is removed by hand before packaging it. We recommend cleaning it further by soaking and rinsing it a few times to remove any residual salt, sand or mesh. Although the Irish sea moss contains salt, once soaked and rinsed it has little to no taste and is not salty at all.
