Good quality sea moss

The quality of the sea moss was very good. It was easy to soak and use in smoothies, or even plain water. The taste of the sea moss was not strong, but the texture was thick. It did not have a strong scent either. Great value for money. When it is purchased dry, it could be used when you want it.

Value

Value for money,packaged well, arrived promptly. Yet to use, purchased for the health benefits.

Salty

Comes in a lovely container and appears to be good quality. Put it in water and then blend it up. I tried adding it to drinks but it is rather salty, so I'll do some more research on how to best use it. A lovely colour too

Little Goes Long Way

This sea moss is very strong and comes in a tall cardboard tube.It comes out is big clumps which are probably far more than you would actually need in one serving.After dunking it in water, it expands quickly and overnight it magically turns back in to some undersea beauty.Take a little of it and blend it up, and there it goes! It's quite salty, so I haven't figured out the best way to eat it yet.

Great natural way to your essential vitamins and minerals

This is a great addition to smoothies. Sea Moss has basically 100% of essential minerals your body needs and this is a great natural way to get those minerals that your body needs amongst other things like fibre amino acids omega fats etc. It's basically a superfood. I can't say I'm a fan of the taste of it on it's own as it does taste like seaweed (very salty and just that well seaweedy taste so make sure you wash it thorougly follow the instructions and soak it for 12 to 24 hours before using it this will significantly reduce the salty taste). In the smoothie though I do like it. You can taste the salt but it actually enhances my smoothies. I guess this all depends on what you put in your smoothie but the salty taste actually adds to the flavour of my smoothies. I found it works particular well with Pineapple. It if was a tad cheaper then this would get 5 stars.

Easy when soaked

It seems many of the pictures in the reviews show it just after being put in water, so here’s what it looks like after soaking for two days.I have an issue with stalks in most foods (Broccoli being one), so I’ll be honest—I did cut the stalk off before blitzing.It’s easy to blitz, and with the amount you’re adding to a smoothie, I couldn’t really taste a difference except for a slight salty taste. But it’s not like adding a spoonful of salt, nothing that bad. So, it’s adding some extra minerals into the mix, which is all good for me.I do wonder if a powder would be a simpler approach overall, although I did notice they also offer a gel.

100% Wildcrafted Sea Moss.

Positives:-Vegan and Non-GMO.A sun-dried natural product, rich in iron and iodine.Full of essential minerals.Easy to make into a gel following instructions in the included “how-to guide”.As a vegan, I already had all the ingredients for the included “Berry Smoothie” recipe, which is delicious.Very useful as an additive to stews & soups.Good shelf life - use within 1 year of opening.Eco-friendly, 100% recyclable container.Negatives:-None at the time of writing this review.Observations:-Came in a very sturdy upright circular tube (80mm diameter x 180mm) made of eco-friendly, 100% recyclable materials.Conclusion:-This is an excellent, very nutritious, versatile product, which I thoroughly recommend.

Quality item

Great project, good ingredients, easy to use, recommended.

A surprising amount of thick gel from a small packet.

Whilst this might look expensive, it does produce a lot of gel once blended. Instructions are included, but they are straightforward. Soak overnight. Then put in a blender with some water and blend. The gel produced is very thick. I scraped out most of it and then put in some more water and blended that. I mixed this in with the other gel to loosen it up.The gel is quite salty, even after soaking and rinsing. Once you've mixed it in with something else the saltiness is less apparent. The texture is smooth and thick, definitely like the cans of Irish Moss drink I used to be able to get from our corner newsagent years ago. If you want a mineral boost for your smoothie, this is a good option.

Rispecchia da descrizione

Mi piace,non mi posso pronunciare sui benefici perché è ancora presto.Pero da una consistenza speciale ai miei frullati

So easy to prepare

I love this stuff. It really doesn't taste of anything. It's slightly salty. You won't taste it inside yogurt, smoothie or juice drink. I know you are supposed to zap it in the blender but I enjoy munching it.It has a great texture. It takes a few hours to swell. I usually prepare it the night before. I don't take it every day. I take it only when I feel a bit run down. I prepare a batch that will last a few days in the fridge. Very nice packaging

Rich flavor, striking color

When you open the package, the sea moss smells like the ocean, briny and a bit salty. It's dry and crisp to the touch, but that changes when you soak it. After sitting in water, it grows four to five times its size and becomes soft and gel-like.It's great for salads, smoothies, or even as a thickener for soups and sauces. Once hydrated, it keeps a mild ocean flavor that adds a fresh, mineral taste to dishes like salads.

Includes a little ‘how to’ booklet. Cute package - gift idea.

Includes a little ‘how to’ booklet with suggestions for how to prepare this moss to use. The basic suggestion provides you with a nice thick ‘gel’ which is great for adding to smoothies/ soups.I had a little bit directly on my tongue (before making the gel) and had a slight taste of the ocean for hours!I’m looking forward to experimenting with recipes more - but coming into winter, this will be a good additional flavour / spice in the kitchen. I would 100% gift this to someone - the packaging is attractive and it makes a thoughtful interesting gift idea.

superb quality!

Excellent quality product with no plastic waste in packaging. So many applications and excited to use it. Definitely recommend.

Quality sea moss

This is a lovely item which looks the part. It's clearly high end and the quality of the moss inside is spot on.I wanted this to add to stews and to use as a garnish. We are trying to eat clean but i don't like putting seaweed into too many dishes due to the salt content of it.This is a really good addition to your chef's larder and actually because a little goes a long way, it's pretty ok valuewise too.Overall, this is a good option for anyone looking to add some health to their diet without too much messing around.

Perfect

Perfect for home made jelly sea moss, easy to prepare and store!
