Dive Into the Details

Does Sea Moss Have a Taste?

Golden Sea Moss has a mild, neutral flavour that blends easily into any recipe without overpowering the taste. It’s perfect for both sweet and savoury dishes. Purple Sea Moss has a slightly stronger, natural marine flavour.

Should I Choose Sea Moss Gel or Dried Sea Moss?

The main difference between dried sea moss and sea moss gel lies in their preparation and convenience:

• Sea Moss Gel: This is pre-prepared and ready to use, offering ultimate convenience. It’s perfect for those with a busy lifestyle or who prefer a ready-made option to easily incorporate into their meals, drinks, or skincare routines.

• Dried Sea Moss: This is sea moss in its natural, sun-dried form. It requires soaking and blending to create a gel, allowing you to control the texture and consistency. It’s ideal for those who enjoy preparing their own gel and want a longer shelf life, as dried sea moss can last up to a year when stored properly.

How Much Sea Moss Should I Use Daily?

The recommended daily intake depends on the form of sea moss you’re using:

  • Sea Moss Gel: Consume 1–2 tablespoons daily, either on its own or blended into smoothies, teas, soups, or other recipes. Adjust based on your personal dietary needs and preferences.
  • Sea Moss Powder: A teaspoon (around 3–5 grams) is typically sufficient for daily use. Mix it into drinks, sprinkle it over food, or incorporate it into recipes.
  • Dried Sea Moss: Use about 4–8 grams (a small handful) of dried sea moss to prepare your gel or for cooking purposes. If consuming directly in recipes, soak and rehydrate it first.

Always start with a smaller amount and gradually increase as needed, especially if you’re new to sea moss. If you have specific health concerns or dietary restrictions, consult your healthcare provider before use.

Can I Use Sea Moss For Skincare?

Absolutely! Sea moss is packed with vitamins and minerals that are great for your skin. It helps to hydrate, soothe irritation, and improve skin elasticity. You can apply the gel directly as a face mask or mix it into your favourite skincare recipes for an all-natural boost.

Purple vs Golden Sea Moss

Purple sea moss is richer in antioxidants with a bolder flavour, while Golden sea moss is milder and more versatile. Both provide 92 of the 102 essential minerals your body needs, but Purple Sea Moss may offer added benefits for reducing inflammation and revitalising skin. Choose Purple for a nutrient boost or Golden for a neutral, adaptable option. Both work equally well for recipes and skincare.

Customers praised this wildcrafted Jamaican sea moss for its "great quality" and versatility in making gel for smoothies, health drinks, and skincare. Most loved the "beautiful packaging" and easy-to-follow instructions. The preparation requires 12-24 hours soaking. Some noted the taste is acquired, and a few mentioned using too much initially.

Super qualita

I really like the quality of the product! At least the package and the instructions very easy to understand. Now I'm making it and see the results for my body health. I might come again to review about it.

Healthy option

I always say is best to do your own research before taking these supplements, this being said the benefits of sea moss have been highly touted, they mostly come in the form of tablets, so this would be the first time I see it in powder form, which I applaud because you can dose it how you want and the best without knowing how much active sea moss is in this powder is certainly more economic than the tablet form, all in all if you are a health nut this might be for you .

Beautifully Presented

I've been taking sea moss for a while as it holds a wealth of nutrients which support my immune system and thyroid. I have to say this is the best presentation I've seen for sea moss and would even make a lovely gift for a health conscious person. I like to make mine up into a gel, I keep it in the fridge and I add it to my morning drink. I can't make any health claims due to Amazons regulations but I do feel sea moss to be beneficial to my health and it is something I continue to take on a daily basis.

The Presentation of This Moss is Outstanding!

…I haven’t yet made any of this Moss up, but I was delighted at just its presentation. Its presentation really is superb. Everything about it indicates a superior product. And yet the cost is not huge (£15.99 at time of review)Because of this, it would make a lovely gift too.I’m planning on making it up this holiday weekend. I probably will just consume it on its own, by the teaspoon. I do make my own Greek Yoghurt though and am thinking I could add some of the prepared Moss gel to my yoghurt, as I eat my yoghurt every day at least once. Worth a try, I thinkOnce I have prepared the Moss this weekend, I will update my review and my photos - and let you know how it pairs with yoghurt too!So far, I am simply delighted with the product and would absolutely order again and recommend

Good quality organic seamoss packed nicely

This tub of Irish Sea Moss comes packaged really nicely. It’s a lovely beige colour which is a mix from the purple batch I’ve just finished. The tub contains 100g of dried seamoss and instructions to make your own gel, though I’ve got my own recipe. Seamoss overall Is a game changing product in skincare so I can’t recommend this enough. It’s also cheaper to buy dried seamoss like this and make your own gel vs buying the gel premade as it’s a lot more value for money! Great product and lovely batch of seamoss.

A Natural and Nutritious Thickener

The Mecantu® Sea Moss from Jamaica has been an excellent find for my kitchen. This wildcrafted and sun-dried sea moss, with its dried yellow and red pieces, looks incredibly natural and retains a wealth of nutrients. I wash a small amount and leave it overnight in the fridge, ready for use. I use it up to 48 hours later. It's especially good as a thickener for sauce dishes, particularly with seafood, and it blends in seamlessly. You wouldn't know it's there by taste or texture, but you still get all the health benefits. It's a subtle yet effective way to enhance my meals nutritionally.

Excellent quality sea moss

When I first opened the tube and saw all that dried sea moss with sea salt dust still on it, I was pleasantly surprised, even though the product listing does show what the product looks like upon delivery. The accompanying booklet explains in steps how the dried sea moss should be prepared before consumption or before using it as a hair/skin mask.Since the tube contains 100g of sea moss, I assumed that once I followed all the steps, I would end up with a smaller quantity of sea moss gel, so I decided to use the whole lot. Now, I realize that if I were to do it again, I would have used half the quantity or even less, perhaps 30%, as the amount of sea moss gel I ended up with is quite large and more than I expected. The booklet mentions that prepared gel could last up to three weeks, so unless I decide to use it for facial masks, I don't think I'll be able to consume it all by just eating a couple of teaspoons of sea moss gel a day. While preparing my sea moss gel, I soaked all the dried sea moss in filtered water for over 24 hours, and it did indeed expand in the process. I also found that when blending it in a blender, I had to add quite a lot of water to achieve the gel-like consistency. I used about 1 liter of alkaline water that I bought at the supermarket.In terms of taste, the sea moss gel tastes like... sea moss! It has a delicate flavor, and I am perfectly fine consuming it directly without mixing it into smoothies or other foods.Sea moss is purported to be packed with lots of goodness, and I really enjoyed preparing my sea moss gel, although it did take some time to do so. This dried sea moss appears to be of excellent quality, and I would not hesitate to buy it again.

a nice quality clean seaweed.

This sun-dried Irish Sea Moss comes in a large foil-lined cardboard tub that contains 100g, which is enough to make over two litres of sea moss gel.I discovered sea moss some time ago and have been consuming it ever since. This one is a good quality clean seaweed and makes a great gel. You can make over two litres of sea moss gel with this tub. It's a rich source of 92 essential minerals and can be made into various forms such as powder, gel, and soaked and eaten. Personally, I like to make a gel with it or occasionally add it to my salads. However, seaweed can have an acquired taste, and dried seaweed can be a little tough on salads if not appropriately soaked. I would consider ordering this seaweed again.If you're new to seaweed, it's worth searching for recipes for turning this marine plant into a gel or powder, but it's relatively easy.

Amazing product

Amazing product! The packaged is so unique! The instructions is so easy to follow. I love the quality of the product, it is very clean and easy to handle. I have a table spoon of the gel every morning on a empty stomach and also use it in my smoothies which is very good.I have noticed since I have started taking this product daily I can see the difference in my skin and my hair appearance. I feel so much better in my energy levels.Great!

Glowing skin and great health!

Am a huge fan of sea moss. I have been taking liquids and tablets so very interested to check out this brand. Seamoss is an amazing product. I was regularly under the weather before I started taking it. It has really boosted my immune system. Recently I was on a work call and noticed that my skin was glowing, which is down to the sea moss! I like that this one comes with sustainable credentials. The sustainable refills is a great idea and the price point is great.To be honest the taste is not to everyone’s liking but I always like to say the worse it tastes, the better it is for you! Because of the way it’s presented, you can add any sweetner to it to make it more palatable and of course you can make it into gel. Seriously if you are looking for something to transform your health, this sea moss is a great way to enhance your diet with essential minerals, support wellness, and contribute to eco-conscious practices.

Seems to be really healthful

Until recently I had never tried this stuff, but have to say that this Mecantu's Raw Sea Moss, seems like an exciting addition to my health protocol. I must confess, I have my regular supplements, but over and above that I am always interest in new things that might help someone in their sixties.There are quite a few positives and only one negative so let's get the negative out of the way first. It can take a bit of soaking and blending to get it to mix in when preparing.But, on the plus side, it seems to be good quality, isn't complicated to use, it is nicely packaged, it has clear instructions, and it can be either consumed on its own or in smoothies. I've tried both ways.So, in conclusion, it does seem like a really good supplement that should have a positive impact on my health, but I suppose only time will tell.

Best way of having sea moss

Not only is this way more sustainable, it lasts better too!You only make as much as you need and lasts so much longer, I have also found the results are better with this brand than any other.The taste is not good of any sea moss, but somehow this is more manageable to have. There are easy instructions to follow and if you have a blender that's all you need to mash up this sea moss!

Beautiful packaging

I love sea moss gel for its high mineral content. I have been taking it as a supplement for a long time and was excited to finally make my own. First off the packaging is absolutely beautiful. The moss arrived well packed with nicely illustrated and easy to follow instructions. The process of preparing the gel is straightforward. You simply rinse the moss under cold water, making sure to remove and residue of sea salt or sand. You then pop the moss in a large bowl and cover it in water (distilled or spring water is recommended) and soak it for 12-24h. You then rinse again and blend the moss with a small amount of water until you reach your preferred consistency. The gel will last up to 3wks in the fridge. I don’t mind the taste and don’t mind just eating it off the spoon. It does have a subtle marine taste but I don’t find it unpleasant. Would definitely reach for again as it works out cheaper than buying it already prepped.
