Before we get into the amazing benefits of this superfood let’s learn a bit more about this algae type.

The latin root word for sea moss is “Chondrus Crispus”, and other names include Carrageen moss and Irish moss.

Sea moss is a tough, stringy red, yellow, or purple seaweed that grows up to six inches high on rocks in tidal pools along the northern Atlantic coastlines of North America, Europe, and the Caribbean Islands.

Among all the other algaes sea moss takes first place for the highest mineral content.

This may be because it grows on rocks and absorbs many of the minerals and other key nutrients from the rocks themselves.
