Our sea moss is a red algae from the Gracilaria and Eucheuma cottonii species. This species primarily grows off the shores of the Caribbean and most South Pacific shores. Sea moss being very mucilaginous when soaked in water can be blended raw into a gel and added to fruit smoothies, tea, soups, pasta sauces, or consumed alone. It's a vegan thickening agent that can be used to replace gelatin in recipes. 

Sea moss is commonly used as a remedy for bronchitis, chest congestion, and soothing gastrointestinal issues and inflammatory pain in the joints, back, and hands. It also has the reputation for being an aphrodisiac and remedy for male impotence. 

Ginger's Roots sea moss is sourced from Jamaica, South Africa, and Vietnam.
