For us, it all starts with sea moss, a beautiful nutrient-rich gift from the sea. This tutorial will cover everything you need to know about sea moss. Then let this party begin!
What is sea moss?
Sea moss is a small, spiky sea vegetable that is primarily used as a supplement by humans due to its many health benefits. Although commonly known as sea moss, the scientific name for the sea moss we use at The Sea Moss Harvest is Eucheuma Cottonii.
It is found in most of the world’s tropical oceans as it thrives in warmer waters. It is an edible marine plant, similar to seaweed, seaweed and other green vegetables such as seaweed that are consumed by humans. Sea moss is an algae that resembles algae in appearance. THERE ARE 3 MAJOR TYPES OF MARINE MOSS
Eucheuma Cottonii – found in warmer waters
Gracilaria: found in warmer waters.
Chondrus Chrispus (Irish Moss) – Found in cold water
All three species are related and provide similar benefits; however, we found that the darker the sea moss, the stronger the flavor. The Chondrus Chrispus and Purple Gracilaria variants have extraordinarily strong flavors, making it difficult for most people to eat and develop persistent health habits. We chose Eucheuma Cottonii gold for our products because it consistently produces great tasting sea moss gel, facilitating the development of good habits.
WHY THE SEA MOSS? Sea moss is well known for its many health benefits because it is packed with vitamins and minerals that our body needs to function properly.
Sea moss is assumed to contain 92 of the 102 minerals required by the human body. Sea moss contains vitamins such as beta-carotene, vitamin B, vitamin C, and sulfur, as well as minerals such as magnesium, manganese, calcium, phosphorus, iodine, boron, iron, and zinc, among others.
