 Q: Gold Sea Moss vs Purple-Gold Sea Moss – What’s the difference? Is one better than the other?
Ans: Firstly, Purple-Gold Sea Moss (Gracilaria) is the exact SAME species as Gold Sea Moss Gracilaria! The only difference is how they are treated after harvesting which influences the color and nutrients to lesser extent.

In its natural state in the sea, the thick sea moss has a deep burgundy/purple color. To make it Gold, the fresh harvest is soaked in fresh water, then dried under full sun. The action of soaking and sun-drying takes away the purple-red pigment along with some iodine, leaving a golden color. This method of processing also takes away much of the salt contained in the sea moss and reduces the “sea taste” making it more neutral and mild flavored.

Purple-Gold Sea Moss on the other hand is minimally processed so it is closer to its natural state. After harvesting it is dried immediately in the sun or sometimes lightly washed to remove excess salt/sediment. But it is never SOAKED extensively in fresh water. This allows it to keep more of its pigment and more iodine. This form also contains more sodium naturally and also has a slightly stronger flavor. This can be easily reduced by washing very well before using it. In fact, if you soak your purple gold moss in fresh water under sunlight, you will see it turn to gold!

Q: Is one better than the other?
Ans: In my opinion the Purple-Gold has a slight advantage being that it closer to its natural state. But many also prefer the gold as it is easier to mask in recipes. But they are both rich in the same minerals!

Q: How do you use it?
Ans: Sea moss is versatile and easy to incorporate into your life.
Skincare: Use sea moss gel as a hydrating face mask or body treatment.
Raw or Dried Sea Moss: Soak and prepare it for homemade creations.
Sea Moss Gel: Add it to smoothies, teas, soups, or even baking recipes.
