Grenada Purple Seamoss 101
Purple sea moss, rich in antioxidants from the waters of Grenada, has more benefits that you can count on two hands. Dr Sebi was a widely known healer from Honduras whose practices attracted many people from all over the world, including celebrities seeking his self-proclaimed expertise. There have been countless books written on behalf of Dr. Sebi’s findings, particularly focusing on seamoss coupled with alkaline diets. Kim Kardashian has raved about seamoss smoothies, Erkyah Badu and many more both in and out of the public eye. In this blog we’ll give you an introduction as to why purple seamoss has garnered so much attention and why you need to try some today if you haven’t already.
Origin
Like most seamoss, Grenada Purple Seamoss originates from the islands of the Caribbean. It can be used topically or ingested depending on its desired effect. It is retrieved by a handful of divers and then dried in the sun for preservation. This superfood is made up of tons of antioxidants which is actually the reason behind where it gets its vibrant purple color from the anthocyanins (a group of compounds with antioxidant effects).
Benefits
Did we mention that there are too many to name? Containing up to 92 out of the 102 minerals your body needs! Writing about them all could turn this blog into a novel. To name a few: promoting weight loss, acting as an anti-inflammatory, supporting gut health and the oxygenation of cells, boosting immunity, eliminating excessive mucus, improving libido, reducing allergies, regulating blood pressure, increasing energy, and assisting with joint and muscle pain. The list is endless.
Uses
This superfood can be applied topically to tighten skin and reduce wrinkles; or to the hair, nails and test for a nourishing, shine effect. It can also be baked into foods or sprinkled on top of dishes like yogurt, oatmeal, pudding. One of its most popular uses suggests adding one or two scoops into smoothies, protein shakes and juices as a healthy additive.
Grenada Purple Seamoss takes the expression “you are what you eat” to a totally different level. Remember, your food is your medicine. Once you begin eating right and feeling right, you transform the world around you.
