What is Sea Moss?

Sea Moss is a sea algae that grows on the rocks in the warm waters of the ocean. It is the ocean's Superfood that comes in several colors; red, green, purple and Gold. It becomes Gold after being dried in the Sun. Sea Moss is packed with minerals and other properties such as collagen and mucilage, providing 90% of the minerals the body needs. Thus with regular, consistent consumption, your immune system will become strong, you will most likely lose weight, have more energy, experience hair growth, notice a positive change in your libido, suffer less from asthma and other mucus causing ailments and so much more.

Sea Moss is not to be confused with Irish Moss (Chondrus Crispus) which is also grown in the ocean, but in colder waters like that in Ireland, Great Britain, Canada and Maine.

In the 1800s during the Irish Potato Famine, Irish Moss supplemented the diets of the Irish people, providing the nutrients needed to avoid starvation. After the famine ended, Irish Moss traveled to Jamaica where it was used to treat ailments.

Sea Moss resembles pasta after it is soaked and ready to be made into Gel form. Sea Moss should not have an offensive odor or taste, if prepared properly. It may have a hint of lemon or lime as these are used during preparation.

At Parahdyse Moss, we get our Sea Moss from the crystal clear and clean waters of St. Lucia. Our sea moss is tested for heavy metals before delivery to Parahdyse Moss.

Parahdyse Moss does not sell Irish Moss at this time. We sell Golden Sea Moss (Genus Gracilaria). If we see that there is a demand for Irish Moss we will consider offering it. If it is something you would like PM to add to the list of products, drop us a comment in the comment box.
