Since I was a little girl, my dad would make this super creamy drink that often resembled a milkshake. The consistency was a bit different from a milkshake but it was sweet with a hint of nutmeg and cinnamon. As I’ve gotten older, I realized this drink he made was called Irish Moss, which is created by boiling sea moss and blending it with various flavors like fruit for extra added flavor.
Irish Moss isn’t a name you’ll hear often in America’s culture but if you’re from Jamaica or of Ireland descent, you’re more likely to have had this incredible drink to be more understanding of it. My dad grew up in Jamaica so I grew up submerged in the culture and he will always tell me about the different benefits of various plants. It was almost an art for him to explain which plants are good for what in our body.
The benefits of Irish Moss Drink are unheard of. It contains 14 minerals that your body needs to thrive. Sea Moss is often found along the Atlantic coast and feeds on potassium chloride.
According to WebMD, Sea Moss is a superfood, it is a vegan, gluten-free source of multiple nutrients. Some nutrients contained in sea moss include:
