What Exactly is Sea Moss?

Sea moss is also known as Irish sea moss or Caribbean sea moss and is a nutrient dense superfood used for generations believed to boost health and enhance skin. It is a type of sea vegetable that grows on rocks underwater and is an excellent dietary supplement with a rich natural source of essential minerals and macronutrients.

Irish Moss and Caribbean Moss, what is the difference?

There are a myriad of different types of sea moss with confusing information all over the internet. Irish Moss is a red based algae grown in cold waters known as Chondrus Crispus. True Irish Moss only grows in cold and calm waters. Caribbean sea moss grows in warm waters and usually comes in different forms of Graciliara or Eucheuma (usually gold sea moss or purple sea moss) but is also sometimes confusingly referred to as Irish Moss. 

Although Chondrus Crispus is the name of the sea moss referred to by Dr Sebi (a famous herbalist and huge advocate of sea moss), during his seminars he held up and presented Graciliara varieties from the Caribbean (whilst still referring to them as Chondrus Crispus).

They are both mosses but different species hence why there is so much confusion and why often Graciliara varieties are misnamed.
