Sea moss, also known as Irish moss or scientifically as Chondrus crispus, is a type of seaweed that grows naturally in the Caribbean and other coastal regions. It has a gelatinous texture when soaked in water and is rich in essential nutrients like iodine, calcium, magnesium, and vitamins A and C. Sea moss is commonly used in Caribbean cuisine and traditional medicine for its potential health benefits, including boosting immunity, improving digestion, and promoting skin health. It's often harvested sustainably from rocky shorelines and is then dried for preservation or used fresh in various culinary dishes and beverages.
