Irish Sea Moss

Chondrus crispus, commonly called Irish moss, carrageen moss or simply “sea moss” is a nutritious healing sea vegetable that is found in some of Dr. Sebi’s therapeutic products, such as the Bromide Plus Powder.

Sea Moss is actually a sea vegetable which grows in various oceans worldwide and therefore presents in a variety of species, colors, textures and shapes, similar in the way that trees are vast and differ based on their climate and environment.

These sea moss – sea vegetables are mineral dense with many varieties containing 92 out of 102 minerals that are found in our bodies. Just a few of the familiar vitamins and trace minerals in sea moss includes:

Iron
Calcium
Sulfur
Iodine
Selenium
Folate

It is a natural and healthy whole food source of carrageenan (*unlike the lab created carrageenan extract or gum found in many processed foods and products. *Source: Super Foods for Super Health).

There is only a subtle hint of a sea smell, however it does not have a sea taste and will assume the flavor of whatever it is added to. That’s a plus!

Do a final rinse and cut up longer pieces to protect your blender blade if necessary.
Add your soaked sea moss and up to 2 cups of spring water to blend; adjust water to preference.
