About this plant
The thallus of Chondrus crispus contains approximately 55% carrageenan, a family of sulphated polysaccharides used as gelling agents. Irish famine emigrants brought knowledge of carrageen to North America in the 1840s. The American carrageenan industry developed in Massachusetts, connecting European and American shores through Atlantic migration.
