Sea moss
Sea moss is a market name used for several red seaweeds, not one guaranteed species. Prepared gels vary in concentration and are not interchangeable by spoonful.
Caribbean uses
Seaweed-based gels give body to some Caribbean drinks. This culinary use should be distinguished from supplement marketing and claims of universal health benefits.
Preparation and storage
Choose a traceable food product with species, preparation and serving instructions. Do not use beach-collected seaweed; iodine and contaminants can vary between products.
Safety note
No universal gel recipe is supplied because this record does not identify a species or product concentration. Follow a verified food product’s instructions instead.
