What is Sea moss? Sea moss is a variety of Seaweed called Eucheuma Isiforme that's commercially harvested and used as a thickening agent in cosmetics, baked goods, soups, stews, and drinks. In the Caribbean, it is most often found in a milky shake and is said to be a natural supplement for stimulating the Libido. However accurate this wife's tale may be, scientists are still researching all the natural benefits of this plant. However, the scientific community has agreed that sea moss is full of essential vitamins and minerals. So if you have ever wanted to try making a sea moss drink, we have put together an excellent plant-based recipe that everyone can enjoy.
