Irish Sea Moss is just what it sounds like: moss that’s been harvested from the sea. There are so many sea vegetables that we don’t even know of yet, much less be able to use every day. This is one sea vegetable that is worth our attention. It has many benefits to the health of the body and uses in cooking as an egg replacement or a thickening agent. It also comes in several colors.
