Purple St Lucia Sea Moss (Wildcrafted, Dried)
Purple sea moss sourced from the coastal waters of Saint Lucia, where it grows naturally in warm, mineral-rich ocean conditions.
This variety develops its deep purple colour during growth and is carefully dried after harvest to preserve its natural structure.
It is commonly used to make sea moss gel or added to smoothies, teas, and recipes as a versatile sea vegetable.

Natural Nutritional Content
Purple St Lucia sea moss is a natural source of iodine and contains naturally occurring minerals including magnesium, potassium, and calcium.
As a sea vegetable, it also provides trace elements that contribute to its overall nutritional profile.
The purple colour comes from naturally occurring pigments found in red seaweeds, primarily phycoerythrin and other phycobiliproteins. These pigments support light absorption in marine environments and are associated with antioxidant activity.
Understanding the Source
This sea moss is a type of Eucheuma cottonii, commonly found in warm Caribbean waters.
It differs from Chondrus crispus, which grows in colder Atlantic conditions.
Both are widely used as sea vegetables, but they grow in different environments and have distinct physical characteristics.
How to Use
Rinse thoroughly to remove any natural sea residue.
Soak until soft, then blend with fresh water to create sea moss gel.
This gel can be added to smoothies, teas, soups, or used as a natural thickening agent in recipes.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Once prepared into gel, refrigerate and consume within a few weeks.

Sea Moss FAQ
What are the benefits of sea moss?
Sea moss contains an abundance of nutrients including calcium, iron, iodine, zinc, vitamin B complex, E, K, choline & more. Sea Moss also contains linear sulfated polysaccharides which have been shown to support our gut microbiome, digestive system, immune system, cardiovascular health, cognitive functions, anti-inflammatory effects and so much more.
- Supporting thyroid health: Sea moss is a good source of iodine, which is an important mineral for thyroid function.
- Boosting the immune system: Sea moss contains antioxidants that can help protect the body from damage caused by free radicals.
- Prevention of Anaemia: Sea moss is a source of iron. One of the most well-known benefits of iron is its role in preventing and treating anaemia. Anaemia occurs when there is a deficiency of red blood cells or haemoglobin, leading to reduced oxygen-carrying capacity and resulting in symptoms like fatigue, weakness, and pale skin.
- Promoting gut health: Sea moss is a good source of fibre and contains linear sulfated polysaccharides, which can help keep the digestive system healthy and also help to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut.
- Reducing inflammation: Sea moss contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that can help to reduce inflammation in the body.
- Promoting weight loss: Sea moss is a low-calorie food that is high in fiber. This can help to promote weight loss by making you feel full and preventing you from overeating.
- Improving skin health: Sea moss contains vitamins and minerals that can help to improve skin health. It is often used in cosmetics and skin care products.
- Building muscle and aiding in workout recovery: Sea moss is a good source of amino acids, which are essential for muscle growth and repair. It can also help to reduce inflammation and improve muscle recovery after exercise.
