Sea moss, also known as Irish moss, is a type of red algae (Chondrus crispus) found along the rocky parts of the Atlantic coast of Europe and North America. It has been harvested for centuries for its carrageenan content, which is widely used as a natural thickening agent in foods and cosmetics. Sea moss is prized for its nutritional benefits, being rich in vitamins and minerals including iodine, calcium, potassium, and magnesium.

Sea moss has grown rapidly in popularity in recent years, driven largely by wellness and social media trends, and has long featured in traditional Caribbean and Irish diets.

Typically, sea moss is consumed in gel form, which is made by soaking dried sea moss in water and then blending it. This gel can be added to smoothies, soups, and other dishes. It can also be taken as a supplement in capsules or powders.

As with any iodine-rich food, it is important to consume sea moss in moderation. Excessive intake can lead to an overdose of iodine, potentially causing thyroid dysfunction, so it’s advisable to consult a healthcare professional before adding sea moss to your diet.

Our Sea Moss is available in two forms, capsules and a gel format. The gel format, is manufactured to be consumed fresh. If your product is going to sit on the shelf for a period of time, we would recommend going for capsules.
