Sea Moss
What is Sea Moss?
Sea moss, scientifically known as
Chondrus crispus, is a type of algae or seaweed. It grows in waters along the rocky
Atlantic coasts, primarily between North America and Europe.
It’s an edible sea plant similar to other seaweeds, algae, and other
familiar leafy sea vegetables like kelp or dulse. Sea moss grows in a
number of colors, such as various shades of green, yellow, purple, red,
brown, and black. The most common varieties that grow in the warmer
waters are generally red and often called
Irish moss.
