Health Benefits of Sea Moss

Consuming Sea Moss 

We love sea moss because it is a nutrient-dense seaweed with an abundance of potential health benefits, but it is not the type of seaweed you might be familiar with and it doesn't have an umami or salty flavor you might expect. It is actually quite plain on its own so that's one of the reasons we add organic fruit, dates, and key lime to liven up our sea moss gels.

Over 145 varieties of seaweed have been used in traditional diets over the centuries in many coastal cultures around the world. Although, seaweed is not often used in western countries and is usually only found in eastern cuisines but given the health benefits of these sea vegetables, we want to help change that.
