Guest guest Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 I think you are looking carrageenan. Irish moss is a seaweed that is the source of carrageenan. If you can't find that, try agar. -Steve On May 6, 2009, at 5:49 PM, Andy wrote: > > > So, this is what I am making: > > http://www.cafegratitudestore.com/sweetgratitude.html > > (the one from the front page). > > Andy > > On Wed, May 6, 2009 at 5:43 PM, Andy <vegan wrote: > > > Hello, > > > > Ok, I got 10^34657 people responding me about Coconut oil and > Lecithin (did > > you know there are that many South Bay Veggies out there?). > > > > But, I still need the Irish Moss.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 The Irish Moss I use for brewing looks like crumbled seaweed, whereas the Agar I have seen is white chunks or powder. However, this excellent website straightens everything out: http://www.foodsubs.com/ThickenGelatins.html *carrageen = carragheen = Irish moss * *Equivalents: *One ounce dried carrageen will set one cup of liquid. *Pronunciation: *KEHR-uh-gheen *Notes: *This purple seaweed can be cooked as a nutritious vegetable, but cooks are often more interested in the liquid it cooks in, for it thickens like gelatin when it cools. It's widely used in the British Isles to make puddings and molded gelatin desserts, or to thicken soups. A carrageen extract, called *carrageenan*, is used commercially to make ice cream, jelly, and other things. To use the dried seaweed as a thickener, first rinse it carefully, then soak it in water until it swells. Next add the carrageen to the liquid you wish to set, boil the liquid for about 10 minutes, then strain out and discard the carrageen. Look for dried carrageen in health food stores. *Substitutes: *agar (produces a firm gelatin than carrageen) OR gelatin I love foodsubs.com!

They're both seaweed, but not the same species. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
