Dried Purple Sea Moss
What is it?
Our Purple Sea Moss is 100% natural, wild-harvested in the Caribbean waters of St. Lucia. While both gold and purple sea moss provide naturally occurring minerals, purple sea moss stands out for its unique antioxidant pigments called anthocyanins, also found in purple berries and other deeply colored plant foods.
Unlike gold sea moss, which is dried in direct sunlight, purple sea moss is carefully dried away from sunlight to help preserve its distinctive color and natural pigments. This makes it a unique choice for those looking to add a wider variety of naturally occurring plant compounds to their diet.
What does it taste like?
Purple sea moss has a slightly stronger ocean-like taste than gold sea moss. Once prepared into a gel, it can easily be blended into smoothies, juices, and other recipes.
What are the possible health benefits?
-
Additional antioxidant compounds: Contains anthocyanins, natural pigments known for their antioxidant properties and not typically associated with gold sea moss.
-
Thyroid support: Naturally contains iodine, an essential mineral for normal thyroid function.
-
Mineral content: Contains naturally occurring minerals, including magnesium, potassium, and calcium, although amounts may vary.
-
Digestive health: Contains soluble fibers that may support normal digestive function.
-
Plant diversity: Offers a way to incorporate a different range of naturally occurring compounds into your diet.
How much should you use?
Dried sea moss must be cleaned and soaked before use. Once prepared into a gel, start with 1 teaspoon daily and gradually increase to 2 teaspoons if desired. The appropriate amount depends on the iodine content and your individual dietary needs.
