Where can I get Irish moss?

Date: June 09, 2009 08:00PM Meanwhile there are myn raw cake recipes including Irish moss. Where can you buy this? I am from Germany, and all the German raw food companies that sell via the internet do not carry Irish moss. Looking at Ebay, I also only found seeds for the Irish moss plant. But I read that Irish moss that is used for raw cake consists of white flakes of this plant.
I would be glad if someone has an idea what to look for and if I can purchase this on the internet. Thank you! Helen Re: Where can I get Irish moss?

This is well timed as I was just about to ask about this myself as I'm jus getting into making puddings/pies. Plus, I've seen that Mmmveg has been using it for desserts and they look oh so so sooooo good. Kate Magic's selling it in the UK, but I just wanted to ask how long it lasts for as it's quite expensive (for me). Thanks so much, Gill xx Re: Where can I get Irish moss?

However, at royalhimalayan, I pay 24$ shipping to Germany. Rawliving.uk takes "only" 6 GBP. Maybe I'll try and order some at rawliving. Rawdanceruk, what other methods do you use to firm cakes etc. up? When I use coconut butter, that does not work, it just does not get firm enough. And I do not want to freeze the cakes, just put them into the refrigerator. I have experimented with cacao butter lately, that works much better than with coconut butter, at least.

i'm sorry. i've tried a lot of thickeners and irish moss is the best (if you follow the soaking directions!) also irish moss is a nutrient power house! i love it. great for respiratory support. also it lasts for a super long time too (in its dried state) i like to eat the leftover soaked moss (from a recipe) although it's a bit chewy! but i love that!

cacao butter lectin or you can add more dry ingredients. depends what it is really. I have been using the butter lately..works well for firming things up Re: Where can I get Irish moss?

Date: July 16, 2009 02:19AM After mmmveg recommended Sweet Gratitude, which I bought, my search for the unusual ingredients started. I bought the irish moss but it is flaked and now I read in the book that whole moss is the best, the flaked gives a strong fish smell to the dessert! I think I 'll try soaking and blending the flakes and see how fishy it is before I go and buy more. I read that it is good for digestive issues, too. Re: Where can I get Irish moss?

Date: July 16, 2009 02:40AM might want to try this place or at least phone them before ordering .. i buy the stuff off my friend who bakes alot and she gets it bulk from here [www.wifglobal.com]
not sure where you are located but generally if you can order a larger quanity like 20 lbs and try and resell it to someone locally or do a helluva lotta baking and resell your baked goods 
i tried to order 20lbs direct and all included with shipping it works out to about 8.85$cdn dollars ...Jodi, the banana eating buddhist  Re: Where can I get Irish moss?

Date: August 29, 2011 03:47PM You can get it from me if you like, I have a company in the UK and I would happily post it to you.
I have tried Irish moss from other places and it didn't work so I decided to find my own. Now I've got plenty, so if you'd like some I can sell it to you. Contact me if you are still interested. www.therawdeli.co.uk Re: Where can I get Irish moss?

Date: September 05, 2011 07:08AM all the ice cream companies probably hoard the stuff. the secret "navy." irish moss isn't farmed. (not that i know of) that's too bad because i wish i had a ton of it cheap. i tried a recipe by linda wooliever - her chocolate dream pie. Awesome!! ( a class attendance) and healthy omg i'm drooling. except i bought a bag of it off of ebay once (some irish moss) then lost it, so i didn't even get to try it out myself. i wish I had some. loot.
