Frequently Asked Questions
Sea moss, also known as Irish moss, is a family of red algae with the scientific name
Chondrus crispus. It’s been consumed by humans for thousands of years, found mainly on rocks
along the North Atlantic Coast. Today, it’s also planted and processed in several coastal
countries, including the U.S., China, Ireland and the Caribbean.
In St. Lucia, sea moss grows rapidly in the warmer open ocean temperature away from pollution.
Sea moss attaches itself to underwater rocks and uses a process called iontophoresis
where the sea moss absorbs minerals and key nutrients from the rocks themselves.
Sea moss is an umbrella term for thousands of different species of red algae. There
are currently two main species of sea moss that are used; Genus Gracilaria and
Chondrus Crispus. These species of sea moss are the most nutrient dense and are
therefore used in heath and cosmetic supplements.
