WHAT IS SEA MOSS?
Sea moss, also known as Irish moss, is a type of seaweed that has been used for centuries for its health benefits. Rich in minerals such as iron, magnesium, and calcium, sea moss has gained popularity in recent years as a superfood and is often used to make gel for use in smoothies, desserts, and even skincare products.
It’s also a great source of antioxidants and can help boost your immune system.
One popular way to consume sea moss is by making it into a gel. This gel can be used in a variety of ways, including as a natural thickener in recipes, as a facial mask, or even as a hair conditioner. And if you’re looking to add some flavor to your sea moss gel, why not try infusing it with some fresh fruit?
