Why People Love Sea Moss
Sea moss (Irish moss, Chondrus crispus) has been a Caribbean staple for generations, boiled into rich drinks with milk, nutmeg and vanilla. Today people add sea moss gel to smoothies, tea and oatmeal. Research on this red seaweed found its natural fiber can feed beneficial gut bacteria, and the NIH notes seaweed is one of the best natural food sources of iodine, which your thyroid uses to make hormones. Enjoy it in the amount on your label.
