Dried Purple Seamoss

Description

Purple sea moss is an algae that grows in the sea on top of rocks, and is naturally purple in color. Golden Irish moss is easily available and most popularly consumed, but sea moss naturally grows in different colors that can include greenish-yellow sea moss, red sea moss, dark purple sea moss, and purplish-brown sea moss. Each pigment of sea moss carries its own beneficial phytochemicals. For example, purple plants in nature are highly concentrated in pure, raw iron fluorine, so it is best to rotate your Irish moss intake between the golden and purple variations in order to obtain the most benefits from the nutrient-dense sea vegetable.

The antioxidant that produces the pigment in our Purple Irish Moss is called anthocyanin, which serves as a protectant for the plant from sunlight damage, cold temperatures, and other stressors. Anthocyanins are water-soluble vacuolar pigments that, depending on their pH, may appear red, purple, blue or black. When we eat food with this purple color, we in turn receive the same benefits.

Purple sea moss gel has a thicker consistency than golden sea moss, making it more gelatinous in texture, which is a perfect thickener for jello, puddings, soups and stews. Purple sea moss cannot only boost the immune system, in addition to the same benefits as Golden Sea Moss, but it can also help to improve vision.
