What is Sea Moss Gel

Sea Moss Gel is simply soaked sea moss blended with water. You can always add bladderwrack or elderberry to your sea moss to give it even more of a nutrient boost. You can also buy Sea Moss in powder or pill form.

I prefer to buy raw dried sea moss and make my own sea moss gel. It’s super easy and allows me to use it in any way I’d like. If you’re a visual learner, here’s a step-by-step video of how to make sea moss gel: How to Prepare and Make Sea Moss Gel.

Where Do You Buy Sea Moss

When buying Sea Moss online, it is extremely important to buy it from a reputable source! The last thing you want is to ingest fake sea moss — sea moss should not have a chlorine smell or appear flakey! 

You can sometimes find sea moss at your local health food store. Sea Moss has become very popular. Many health food stores sell either raw sea moss or sea moss gel. You can find Sea Moss Gel in specialty markets like Erewhon or some Whole Foods.

How Much Sea Moss To Take Daily?

The recommended amount of sea moss gel to take daily is 1-2 tablespoons or 4 to 8 grams per day. 

What Are 5 Different Ways To Use Sea Moss Gel

• Add To Drinks Like Smoothies, Teas, and Coffee
• Use as a thickening agent when making foods like jam, soups, porridge, and gel-like desserts
• Use it as an egg replacement. Works perfectly as a binder, especially when cooking vegan dishes
• Use as a face mask. Mix sea moss gel with smashed avocado, honey, aloe gel, turmeric, or simply use it on its own.
• Add to water when watering house plants

1. Try the Traditional Jamaican Irish Moss Drink

The Jamaican Irish Moss Drink, also known as a love potion, is made with a blend of non-dairy milk, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla. It is super tasty, vegan, and gluten-free! If you’re interested in trying it, the recipe for the traditional Jamaican Sea Moss Drink is listed below.

2. You can use Sea Moss Gel in a Smoothie

The easiest and my favorite way to enjoy the benefits of sea moss is to put it in a smoothie! Because sea moss is so light in taste, whatever fruits and vegetables you use in the smoothie will mask the taste of the sea moss. The most popular sea moss smoothie recipes on my site are the Chocolate Raspberry Sea Moss Smoothie and my Blueberry Sea Moss Smoothie. They are delicious and filled with tons of essential omega-3 fatty acids, amino acids, and antioxidants!

I also share 16 of my favorite smoothie recipes, many of which include sea moss gel in this post: 16 Healthy Superfood Smoothie Recipes!

3. Sea Moss Gel is a Natural Thickening Agent

Sea moss, often called “vegan gelatin”, has a mucilaginous and gel-like consistency, and thus can be used to thicken foods. It’s perfect for thickening soups, stews, drinks, ice cream, and more.  

I like to add sea moss to my Superfood Blueberry Chia Jam. It’s made with nutrient-rich chia seeds, blueberries, and with the addition of sea moss it is incredibly nutritious and it tastes amazing. (I can’t taste the sea moss at all in this!)

4. Use Sea Moss Gel for Watering Plants

Try adding sea moss to the water when watering your plants! Sea moss is wonderful for the soil and provides the plants with a ton of nutrients. I water my plants with sea moss water about once a month. I simply mix 1-2 tablespoons of sea moss gel into a half gallon of water and use it to water my plants. I’ve seen tremendous growth from my plant babies; they look beautiful!

5. Sea Moss Gel Face Mask

Sea Moss is not only great for ingesting, but it does wonders for your skin. Because sea moss helps your body produce collagen, it has been nicknamed “vegan collagen”.   Of course, you can ingest it and glow from the inside out, but you can also apply it directly to your face for even more of a glow! 

Sea moss and turmeric face mask recipe

About 1-2 times a week, mix 2 tablespoon of sea moss with a teaspoon of turmeric powder and use that as a mask. The sea moss helps to moisturize your skin and the turmeric is antibacterial and has anti-inflammatory properties so it helps to clear or reduce breakouts! It’s the perfect combination to give your skin a beautiful glow!
