(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Irish moss is a major source of carrageenan, which is commonly used as a thickener and stabilizer in processed foods, including ice cream and luncheon meat. It may also be used as a thickener in calico-printing and for fining beer. Irish moss is frequently mixed with Gigarlina mammillosa, G. acicularis and other seaweeds with which it is associated in growth.
