About Seamoss

Sea moss, scientifically known as *Chondrus crispus*, is a type of red algae widely harvested from the Atlantic coasts of Europe and North America. Traditionally used in Irish and Caribbean cuisines, sea moss is gaining popularity for its nutritional benefits. Rich in essential minerals like iodine, magnesium, potassium, and calcium, it supports thyroid health, digestion, and immunity. High in antioxidants, it may aid in reducing inflammation and improving skin health. Sea moss also contains important vitamins, including B vitamins and vitamin C, making it a nutrient-dense addition to smoothies, soups, or sauces when used in its gel or dried form. While generally regarded as healthy, excessive consumption can lead to an overload of iodine, so moderation is key. Its versatile nature and nutrient profile make it a sought-after superfood for those looking to enhance their wellness naturally.
