THE HISTORY OF SEA MOSS
According to archaeologists, Sea Moss has been used for its variety of benefits for approximately 14,000 years.
Sea Moss was especially crucial during the Irish Potato Famine in the 1800s when people needed to supplement vital nutrients to survive. Many Irish citizens, desperate for affordable nutrition options, would add red seaweed to warmed milk in order to create a nutrient-enhanced beverage to help them contend with the shortage of edible options. This sea moss drink happens to still be drank by some across Ireland and the Caribbean to this day.
​
Today, the benefits and uses of sea moss are widely recognised and used worldwide. This nutrient-dense seaweed offers natural properties that nourish the body, mind and spirit.
