Sea moss has been a staple food in our family for many generations. Growing up we did not view sea moss as a "health food". It was something that we just knew was good for us. Most Caribbean people and their children consume sea moss in a sweet and hearty beverage known as Irish Moss (sea moss, milk, nutmeg, sugar, flax seed, vanilla, white rum, isinglass, gum arabic). It is also used to thicken soups and stews due to the gelatinous properties that make up over 50% of the sea moss known as Carrageenan.
