Purple or Green Sea Moss - What's the Big Deal?

purple sea moss, green sea moss
And why are they more expensive? It's certainly not because of the nutrients.

 We mostly know of the golden sea moss because it is more accessible and plentiful. However, there are two specialty varieties: purple sea moss and green sea moss. All colors offer pretty much the same benefits, but they also have some differences that may influence your choice. In this blog post, we will explore the characteristics of purple and green sea moss to help you make an informed decision.

What is Purple Sea Moss?

 It gets its distinctive purple color from the presence of antioxidants called phycoerythrin and anthocyanins. They belongs to a group of antioxidants found in red, blue, and purple fruits and veggies. A diet rich in these compounds may prevent inflammation and protect against type 2 diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. Regularly eating anthocyanin-rich foods may also benefit your memory and overall brain health

What is Green Sea Moss?

 It is called green sea moss due to its vibrant green color, which comes from the presence of chlorophyll.  Chlorophyll  is any of several related green pigments found in cyanobacteria and in the chloroplasts of algae and plants. Like purple sea moss, green sea moss is packed with essential nutrients that can support overall health and well-being. It is known to detox the body, strengthen the immune system, and boost energy.

Similarities between Purple and Green Sea Moss

They both have a stronger ocean scent than the Gold variety, which may influence your preference when using sea moss in recipes or smoothies. 

Also, they are dried in the shade away from the sun to retain the colors, thus taking longer to process. Because of their dark color, the residual ocean salt is more visible. Both are given a final rinse before packaging to remove the excess salt. These are the reasons why they are more expensive than the Gold.

Both purple and green sea moss varieties offer a range of potential health benefits. They are both excellent sources of iodine, which is essential for thyroid function. Additionally, they contain a variety of vitamins, including vitamin C, vitamin E, and B vitamins. Both types of sea moss also contain minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium, which are important for maintaining healthy bones and muscles. 

Differences between Purple and Green Sea Moss

While purple and green sea moss share many similarities, there are a few key differences to consider. One notable difference is their taste. Purple sea moss has a slightly milder flavor compared to green sea moss, which can have a slightly stronger taste. The roles that the different antioxidants play

Another difference is the texture. Purple sea moss tends to have a softer and more gel-like texture, making it easier to blend into various dishes. On the other hand, green sea moss has a slightly firmer texture, which some people prefer for certain recipes.

Which Sea Moss Should You Choose?

Ultimately, the choice between purple and green sea moss comes down to personal preference. If you prefer a milder taste and a softer texture, purple sea moss may be the better option for you. On the other hand, if you enjoy a slightly stronger taste and a firmer texture, green sea moss might be more suitable.

Regardless of the color you choose, incorporating sea moss into your diet can be a great way to boost your nutrient intake and support your overall health. It's important to note that while sea moss offers potential benefits, it should not be considered a cure-all. As with any dietary supplement, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional before making any significant changes to your diet.

Whether you decide to go for purple or green sea moss, you can enjoy the potential health benefits that this nutrient-rich seaweed has to offer. So why not give it a try and see how it can enhance your well-being?

  • I’m Emmanuel, residing in London, United Kingdom. I’ve been happily married with two children and a wonderful wife. However, a significant crisis struck my family when I lost my job. As a result, my wife left our home because I couldn’t provide for her and our kids at that time. I persevered for four years, but eventually, the situation became unbearable. Desperate for a solution, I turned to the internet for assistance in reuniting with my family and regaining my job.

    During my online search, I encountered numerous testimonials, leading me to choose Dr. Murugu Temple. Dr. Murugu provided guidance and instructions that I followed faithfully. Remarkably, within just 72 hours, my workplace reinstated me, and on the same day, my wife returned with our children, expressing her regrets for her actions. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Murugu for his invaluable assistance and support throughout this challenging period.

    For those in need, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Murugu’s services, which you can access via the following contact information: Email: dr.makinidrmurugu@gmail.com

  • My name is Hailey Garcia and I am from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 2 years of living with it. I have tried different medical procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. I knew I had herpes from the first day I started feeling itchy in my pubic area and the pain was very unbearable. I couldn’t stand it anymore. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor Odunga to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and whats-app number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him. He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine. Within 5 days, I didn’t feel any pain anymore and within 2 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth. I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor Odunga, Whats-App (wa.me/+2348167159012) OR Email odungaspelltemple@gmail.com
