Types of Raw Sea Moss We Offer for Your Wellness

Red or Purple Sea Moss (Chondrus Crispus)

Known for its rich mineral content, red or purple Irish Sea Moss is packed with iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and iodine. These minerals work together to support muscle and joint function, improve mobility, and aid in post-workout recovery. Its natural density makes it an excellent choice for those seeking to improve their active lifestyle.

Gold Sea Moss (Chondrus Crispus)

Gold Sea Moss shares the same mineral-rich profile as its red variant, providing iron, iodine, calcium, magnesium, and other essential nutrients. It supports muscle and joint health, improves mobility, and accelerates recovery. With its natural nutrient density, it’s a powerful addition to any wellness routine.

How is Our Raw Sea Moss Harvested?

We only sell wildcrafted Chondrus Crispus, a rare sea moss that grows in cold waters, naturally absorbing nutrients from ocean rocks and ocean beds. This makes it one of the most nutrient-dense and sought-after sea moss varieties in the world.

We never source raw sea moss from warm-water regions like the Caribbean or from China, where mass-produced varieties are often farmed in shallow waters or artificial pools. Unlike wildcrafted Chondrus Crispus, these farmed alternatives don’t absorb minerals from the ocean floor or rocks, making them lower in nutrients and higher in salt.

Our commitment is to provide pure, wild-harvested sea moss, ensuring the highest quality, potency, and nutritional benefits in every batch.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is raw Chondrus crispus sea moss, and how is it different from other seaweed?

Raw Chondrus crispus sea moss is a type of red and gold algae, often referred to as Irish Sea Moss, that grows naturally along the rocky shores of the Atlantic coasts of Europe and North America. It is highly valued for its rich array of essential minerals, including iron, iodine, calcium, magnesium, and potassium.

It should not be confused with Caribbean sea moss, a lower-quality alternative that is usually grown inorganically on ropes suspended in warmer waters. Unlike raw Chondrus crispus, it doesn't absorb nutrients from the ocean floor or rocks, which limits its mineral content and overall nutrient density. While it may still offer some health benefits, the quality and nutrient profile of Caribbean sea moss can differ significantly from wild-harvested varieties like Chondrus crispus.

Key Differences:

Nutrient Absorption: Raw Chondrus crispus sea moss absorbs a wider range of minerals from the ocean floor, giving it a more diverse nutrient profile. Inorganic Caribbean sea moss grown on ropes has less direct access to the nutrient-rich ocean floor, resulting in a less beneficial mineral composition.

Texture and Gelatinous Properties: Chondrus crispus has a natural gelatinous texture that is ideal for making nutrient-rich gels, which are popular in food and skincare. This texture comes from carrageenan, a unique component of the species with numerous health benefits. Other seaweeds, like those grown in the Caribbean, may not exhibit the same texture or health-enhancing properties.

What are the most common uses of sea moss gel in food and beverages?

Raw sea moss is often prepared into a gel, which can be added to smoothies, juices, or foods. It acts as a natural thickener, improving texture without overpowering the taste. Its neutral flavor makes it easy to incorporate into a variety of recipes, providing an extra boost of vitamins and minerals. 

In Food:

Smoothies & Juices – Blended into fruit or vegetable smoothies for added nutrients and a creamy texture.

Soups & Stews – Used as a natural thickener in plant-based soups and stews to enhance texture and nutrient content.

Baked Goods – Added to bread, muffins, or pancakes, sea moss helps improve moisture retention, enhance texture, and acts as a natural thickener.

Plant-Based Desserts – Used in puddings, mousse, and raw vegan cheesecakes as a gelling agent.

In Beverages:

Tea & Herbal Tonics – Stirred into warm drinks for an immune-boosting effect.

Nut Milks – Blended with nut milks for enhanced texture and minerals.

Can I consume raw sea moss every day?

Yes, but in moderation. A daily intake of 1-2 tablespoons of prepared sea moss gel is generally safe.

How do I prepare raw sea moss for consumption or use?

Rinse and Clean: Start by thoroughly rinsing the 2 oz of raw sea moss in spring water to remove any dirt, sand, or salt. Place the moss in a large bowl of water and gently rub it between your fingers to remove any debris.

Soak: After rinsing, place the cleaned sea moss in a bowl and cover it with fresh, cool water. You can optionally add a bit of lime juice to help reduce any ocean smell. Let it soak for 12-24 hours, allowing the sea moss to expand and soften.

Blend into Gel: Once the sea moss has soaked, softened and swollen, cut it into smaller pieces using scissors. Place the pieces into a blender and add 2 cups of fresh water (adjust if needed for consistency). Blend until smooth and creamy. The resulting mixture is sea moss gel, which can be used in juices, food, and skincare.

How long can I store sea moss gel?

Sea moss gel can typically be stored in the refrigerator for several weeks after blending. To maximize freshness, ensure the gel is kept in an airtight container. If you wish to store it for longer, you can freeze the gel in ice cube trays or small containers, which can extend the shelf life for up to 6 months. Freezing preserves its nutrients and ensures you have ready-to-use portions when needed.

How do I know if my raw sea moss is of high quality?

To ensure premium quality, make sure you’re looking for wild harvested, cold-water Chondrus crispus. This variety should have vibrant colors such as purple, red, or gold, and a slightly rough texture with just a little salt residue. Pool-grown or rope grown moss, on the other hand, often appears smooth and silky and has a more noticeable salt crust. Sand is another giveaway. Genuine Chondrus crispus needs to be rinsed to remove sand and debris, whereas fake, pool-grown sea moss is suspiciously clean.

Are there any side effects or precautions to consider when using raw sea moss?

Excessive consumption may lead to iodine overdose, digestive discomfort, or allergic reactions.

Can raw sea moss help with digestion?

Yes, sea moss contains fiber and prebiotics that support gut health and digestion.

Does raw sea moss expire? What about sea moss gel?

Yes, dried sea moss lasts up to a year when stored properly, while sea moss gel lasts for a few weeks in the fridge.

Does raw sea moss have a strong taste?

It has a mild, pleasant marine taste that’s subtle and salty rather than ‘fishy’, but it dilutes well when combined with other foods.
