This is how you make REAL IRISH MOSS!! (Chondrus Crispus Gel)

[@VeganWithCurves]

Please understand I never said that gracilaria was not sea moss. I never said it was "fake" or that you should not use it. I have a video for that as well because I use BOTH. youtu.be/wqx2mAcdg All I said in this video as that it is not IRISH moss. The term sea moss is a generic term used to describe over 30,000 species or genuses of red algae. The term Irish Moss is a specific term used for Chondrus Crispus based on the history and where it grows.

Young lady this was a very informative video. Thank you so much..I am glad I fell upon my purple irish sea moss!

[@myckielhaynes]

This video is awesome I always tell people use hot water for your seamoss it helps kill any bacteria and it makes to gel even smoother.....

[@ampsa84]

Soaking any seaweed for that long then replace the water will remove a lot of the nutrients and minerals. This is due to the fact the a lot of the minerals and some of the vitamins are water soluble. It’s best to wash quickly then boil or soak and blend in the water it was soaked in.

[@KickzNBeatz]

KEY lime is the specific lime to use. Persian and other limes never become alkaline once ingested. The Key lime does! 😎

[@VeganWithCurves]

People should use whatever limes that are accessible to them. This is not an "alkaline" vegan channel. If key limes are avaliable, they can use those. If not, regular limes are just fine to use and will not harm them.

[@KickzNBeatz]

@@VeganWithCurves I thought this was an alkaline specific channel for some reason. My apologies.

[@VeganWithCurves]

@@KickzNBeatz no worries!

[@ampsa84]

Key lime is just the Same as any other lime or lemon. They all have the same citric acid. Also key lime is an hybrid like any other citrus fruit. All citrus fruits originate from Citron and mandarin, so lemons as we now it might be the closest to the original citron. Stop spreading pseudo science and go and do some research instead of parroting something here.

Great clean and Clear video, what I would like to know is which is more beneficial and has more nutrients the cooked or uncooked version, sometimes I feel the heat will kill some of the nutrients, then sometimes some say the heat activates them....am lost!!

[@alexscrubs1]

Thank you for going through this in detail I am just learning about this and this video was super helpful

[@jfrancis2560]

First great video I've watched several videos dealing with Chrondus chrispus and I honestly only saw you specifically talk about all the debris, shells, muscles etc. that needs to be removed before you start the gelling process. So great job on that. But my concern with using heat as part of the process would remove mineral properties from the gel. Can you speak on this pertaining to heating and its affect on consistency and mineral content? How about a double boiler method? Thanks !

[@ampsa84]

Heating the sea moss release more nutrients as it breaks up the complex structures. Minerals are not heat sensitive so they do not destroy by heat. This is why you can melt gold over and over and it’s still gold. What actually destroys the mineral is blending, as the oxygen and water causes oxidation. Oxidation is what destroys mineral, you can observe this with rusting .

[@RemixKingzMusic]

Nice video, thank you for this. If you are growing plants you can feed them that water instead of throwing it down the train. Also I wouldn't recommend boiling, it removes nutrients.

[@VeganWithCurves]

Yes u can. U can even use the water to blend your gel if you desire. Amd from my current understanding, it will not kill all nutrients not all nutrients are heat sensitive and some are actually released when in heat😊

[@thomasashcraft9735]

The water soluble vitamins/nutrients are only lost if you dispose of the water you boiled it in. Use the water when you blend.

I just received my chondrus crispus and I am trying to determine the quality of it. Mine looks like yours but it has more green in it than yours. I ordered it from Connemara seaweed company in Ireland. Do you know anything about it?

[@ccelms6581]

I read your pin and saw your site, thank you for that clarification about Irish moss vs sea moss. I think the confusion about “sea moss” vs what you called the “Irish moss” in this video was very simply cultural for me. Both my parents are from Jamaica. In Jamaica (what YOU or what Americans call) the “sea moss” we call “Irish moss”. Perhaps that is not the correct name (here in the states), however, in Jamaica (for example) if you ask for “avocado” SOME may give you what you want but younger Jamaicans may look at you funny and not know what you’re talking about. If you ask for “pear” then most Jamaicans will give you (what WE in the states call) avocado. Same in this situation; if you ask any Jamaican who cooks or sells food for Irish moss, they would give you what YOU/Americans may call sea moss. I know, it’s confusing!😂 I honestly never understood why it was called Irish moss. It may have to do with some Irish influence in Jamaica 🤷🏾‍♀️, especially considering they both make that gel! However, that is perhaps why some were confused when you stated “…this is not Irish moss.” I was certainly confused! But now I am convinced it’s just a difference in our cultural vernacular. Any-hoo, thank you for introducing this new kind of sea moss! I did not know it was out there!😊

Great vidoe and thank you BUT why did your and other videos about "real" irish sea moss pop up AFTER I just spent over $100 buying Sea Moss that is actually Garciana and Eucheuma Cottoni! I searched high and low for what to buy and how to make it and none of these videos with the real irish sea moss appeared until after I bought the other stuff. Life is not fair! What kills me are the people who sell the other variants for the same cost or higher of what real irish sea most cost.

Hi I use the cooking method and blend to make my Irish moss gel however I tend to get white water that rises to the top of my jars whenever I have blended and poured the jars. Also I don’t want my gel to be to thick which it tends to be if I don’t add extra warer

[@JD-dg2xd]

I added elderberry , burdock root tea and honey into my blender with the sea moss . Why does it foam up after I blend it ?

I cannot say why. I typically do not blend sea moss with anything but water

I boil for hours and just let sit it yields more I dont even blend anymore and it comes out looking like jello..I add my gel to water and make a tea

[@jewelhanson7997]

Hello. I have a question. I see that the Chondrus Crispus makes me sleepy. And the Gracilaria gives me energy. Should I take the Gracilaria in the morning and the Chondrus Crispus at night?

[@VeganWithCurves]

I would recommend only using the one you prefer. One variety at a time. sea vegetables are high in iodine so you don't want to overdose on them. It is unnecessary to use both at the same time...if chondrus Crispus make you sleepy then don't take it

[@jewelhanson7997]

[@efrenvialpandojr2671]

My first time getting sea moss, I got the chrondus crispus. Could I mix in grapes in my blend they are seeded grapes the good ones (not seedless) Or should I make the sea moss by itself?

[@TheLastGen]

Question- I have both chondrus crispus and gracilaria. The chondrus is sooooo fishy, it’s almost hard to down. What are you doing to help with the strong taste. No one talks about how different the taste is from gracilaria. Literally it’s night and day. You mention limes, but are limes taking the taste away for you? I’m pretty shocked by how hard it is to eat it. Is there any other way to mask it?Thank you!!!

[@VeganWithCurves]

I don't so anything to mask the taste. I accept that seaweed is seaweed lol. But you can cook it longer to break those components. Only prepare a little at a time and dilute it the down with more water. That night help.

[@TheLastGen]

@@VeganWithCurves thank you!! I have a hard time swallowing chondrus crispus, lol. I try so hard not to gag. Gracilaria is so much easier to eat. Even in a smoothie, the chondrus slime is a lot to handle. 🙈 It sucks there isn’t enough research on which is better for you

The ones you show the first is sea moss it’s just a different species called Grass Cellarius which is extremely powerful as well still pretty much have the same benefits I mainly come from the Caribbean Jamaica area however you can get some in Ireland as well so technically you could say it’s still Irishmoss😂

Hello! So what is the reason for using the mesh lid? And not sealing it? I’d just like to understand why? Thank you!

In my article about this, I explained that using the mesh lead helps it last longer because it allows your Chondrus Crispus to "breathe" as this is considered raw food. veganwithcurves.com/irish-moss-gel/ You can find more information on my blog 😊

I personally would not trust those. It depends on the company. I do not specialize in cosmetology so when it comes to making things for skin and hair, I do not do that. That is another field of expertise. However some people have used regular sea moss gel they made for internal use on their skin and hair.

I store it on the counter

[@jeannettenavarro3203]

Thank you so much. I also left it on the counter but I heard that people stored it in the fridge, and wanted to see if I was doing it wrong.

[@VeganWithCurves]

@@jeannettenavarro3203 you are welcome! Everyone has a different process but from my current knowledge, I do not think it makes too much of a difference whether it is stored on the counter or fridge. The only reason I can think of as to why people would store it in the fridge is because their house might be too warm and the moss could potentially start to break down in the water. At normal room temp tho, it should be fine.

[@serenav.dsluis7177]

So on every other tutorial i see they say that the sea moss needs to be soaked 12 to 24 hours. Going to make my first batch this week. If im only soaking it for 1 a 2 hours is there a change it will be ruined when i blend it to soon?

[@josejmares86]

I usually do 12 hrs. This moss has a very strong ocean taste. I did put my seamoss with key limes overnight and it did tone down the smell and taste. But still very Ocean taste.

[@mikiniwilliams5916]

4 hours minimum in spring water with key limes. I soak for one hour, then rinse again because sometimes there is debris left. Pour out that water, then soak again for a minimum of 3 hours. The more spring eater you add the looser it will set.

So with that it might already be cleaned if the the company toom the time to chopped it out it up before they dried it. What I would do is soak it in water for a few mintutes to see if any dirt or debris remains on it and then drain it in a colander.
