MEET THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF SEA MOSS
We’re all in love with sea moss here. All the different types! And we want to introduce you to the varieties of sea moss out there.
Sea moss can be divided into Irish sea moss (which is sometimes coloured and named purple or red sea moss) and Jamaican sea moss (which is further divided into what are commonly known as golden and green sea moss).
The colours of each type of sea moss can sometimes grow closer in hue to the other kind, but you can generally tell the two apart by their shapes. That being said, colour matters as well! It’s often an indicator of what nutrients and antioxidants are present in sea moss.
Irish sea moss, also known as purpose or red sea moss, has fan-like leaves, and you might recognise it as the ingredient made famous by celebrities like Kim Kardashian. Its colouration is due to its high antioxidant content. Irish sea moss tends to be harder to grow and is usually harvested on rocks in coasts and tide pools during summer months, so it is more uncommon than other sea moss types.
Meanwhile, Jamaican sea moss has blade-like leaves, and each of its colourations has unique strengths. Gold sea moss (sometimes known as yellow sea moss), the most common kind, is generally thinner and stringier, with higher phytonutrient content. It grows all year round and has a milder smell and taste. It is easier to come by than the other colours, and often more affordable.
Another common type of Jamaican sea moss is green sea moss (which sometimes appears as brown sea moss). Its colour indicates that it has a high flavonoid content, containing anthocyanins and chlorophyll. Green sea moss has a stronger smell and taste, and it is good for detoxifying the liver and increasing haemoglobin in blood.
And whatever colour or type it may be, sea moss is always packed with health benefits thanks to containing vital minerals and nutrients the body needs such as vitamins, iodine, and zinc. So when choosing the right sea moss for you, consider your health goals or needs, and make sure that you can confirm that they were grown and harvested naturally with a high nutrient content.
