About Seamoss

Seamoss, also known as seaweed, is a natural marine plant packed with essential minerals, vitamins, and nutrients. It is often called the "Ocean's Superfood" because it supports overall health and wellness.

Seamoss is valued for its naturally occurring iodine, magnesium, calcium, potassium, and plant-based fibre, making it a convenient way to enhance daily nutrient intake.

Seamoss gel is versatile and easy to add to your daily routine:

🥤Smoothies & Drinks

Blend into smoothies, juice, water, or tea — it dissolves completely.

🥣Porridge & Cereal

Stir into hot porridge (uji) or cereal for a nutrient boost.

🍲Cooking

Add to stews, soups, or rice dishes — it acts as a natural thickener.

Direct

Take 1–2 tablespoons straight from the jar as a daily supplement.

Seamoss powder is the most flexible format — it blends into almost anything:

  • Hot water — dissolve 1 teaspoon in hot water and drink as a tea
  • All types of food — stir into soups, sauces, batters, porridge, or capsules for odourless supplementation

Powder has a 12-month shelf life, making it ideal for travel and home kitchens.
