  • I love you Matt, but.....please don't put the spoon back in after you have licked it!! Yucko! EEEEEWWWW!

  • What exactly is Irish Moss? And how did people first start eating it? And do the Irish even eat the stuff? I know that it is a lot of questions but it sometimes feels like the Raw community is reaching for things we maybe shouldn't. I kind of get the feeling of whatever happen to good old Fruits and greens.

  • I love Irish moss! I prepare it the same way, but I also add in vanilla extract, a dab of almond or soy milk, nutmeg, cinnamon & brown sugar. You can substitute the sugar & almond or soy with condensed pet milk. This is an absolute favorite among the island carib community. It has an good amount of electrolytes and is superb for pregnant women. Also, my husband will sometimes add it to Guinness Stout for an extra kick. I guess it's suppose to be some kind of "Aphrodisiac"...

  • @crudinette thanks because i was given the creamy colored irish moss from transition nutrition. I blended this same product you see in this video and my blood pressure changed so dramatically i almost passed out. I got a weird tension headache afterwards. I bought 2 pounds of this stuff for 40 bucks and I am scared as hell of it. i would never ingest this stuff again in my life.

  • eugh.

    Irish moss tastes like the smell of an overcrowded hospital ward.

    5:18 <- admirable blenderface.

  • can irish moss be used along with kefir  in recipes?

  • @iammeganp27 I agree. That's SOOOOOOOO gross and horribly unsanitary. it's a good way to get sick and get other people sick, too.

  • I am surprise to hear that. As long as I know the "irish moss" is the "chondrus crispus" (which I thought was used by Matt and Angela as well as Kevin Gianni and other people in the raw food movement.

    Yes the "Euchema cottonii and "Euchema spinosum" are other varieties in the same family of "red algaes"... are they more "creamy" in color ? are they really better for uncooking ??? That is the question.

  • @crudinette because what everyone is using is NOT REAL Irish Moss ..it is actually Euchema or Sea Moss..it still has wonderful properties and health advantages..but it's not Irish..real Irish moss is a reddish brown and grows in Ireland. I got a sample of it from the company there that distributes it...but have not actually tried to make irish moss paste with it...i have a feeling the creamy white substance from the Euchema Sea Moss probably works better...just a guess though.
