Sea moss (or Irish moss

, as it's sometimes called) is one of the most popular and promising new healthy food ingredients, ranging from losing weight to helping you get hornier. Yvonne Noel, an obstetrician and gynecologist from Brooklyn, drank a drink for special occasions called Irish moss that was prepared with milk, nutmeg, cinnamon and sea moss. In the years that followed, sea moss became popular thanks to health influencers and, more recently, the viral Strawberry Glaze Skin Smoothie shake from the Los Angeles Erewhon grocery store.

Advocates claim that sea moss gel can improve heart health, help you lose weight and lower cholesterol. There are also recipes on Pinterest for “ice cream, gummies and jams” based on fruits made with sea moss. In small, infrequent doses a couple of times a week in a smoothie, sea moss gel probably won't be harmful. In the United States, the current trend is the use of sea moss gel, in which algae are mixed with water to produce a soft, jelly-like viscous mass.

It's also important to talk to your doctor before taking sea moss or any other supplement to make sure it's compatible with your specific health problems. Sometimes fruit is added to the puree to help mask the oceanic and musty smell that is sometimes associated with dry sea moss. In places such as Hawaii, Indonesia and Malaysia, the gracillary species of sea moss is frequently blanched and added to salads or boiled with fresh juice to make a pudding.
