Irish moss isn’t really moss. It’s actually a seaweed found along the coasts of the Atlantic Ocean. In Ireland, this seaweed was once used to feed cattle and to stuff mattresses. Then a great famine in the 19th century left the country’s residents starving. They turned to the shores and Irish moss became a key source of food for them. We now know that Irish moss is actually a superfood, containing between 15 and 18 of the essential elements that make up the human body.
