Raw/dried sea moss lasts for up to 1-3 years if stored in a dry, cool place away form the sun. Sea moss gel will last 2-3 weeks in the fridge and 3-4 months in the freezer. It is not hard to process sea moss but it takes time and care, so please make sure you process well to get the most benefits!
To process your Sea Moss:
This sea moss is literally straight from the sea and has sand and other sea things mixed in still. It is dried and the salt of the sea is a natural preservative.
To rehydrate sea moss you will need spring or alkaline water, no tap water. With spring water first rinse it in a colander several times. If you are not into the taste of the sea, more rinsing is better than less. You will want to get all the of the sand and other particles out before you process your sea moss. You can also add limes/lemons to help clean the sea moss and reduce the salty sea-ness
Place the sea moss in a bowl and cover with fresh spring water.
Cover and leave on the counter or refrigerate for 12-48 hours.
Pour off the water and give the sea moss another rinsing with spring water. Add a small amount of half lemon or lime for about 20 mn if you want a less sea taste. Take out citrus.
You may now use the sea moss rehydrated or turn it into gel
How to make Sea Moss gel:
Place the appropriate amount of sea moss in a blender and add the appropriate amount of water. (1-2 cups of filtered/spring water for every 1 cup of sea moss)
Blend until desired texture is reached.
Place sea moss gel in an airtight, sterile container and refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Place in ice cube trays and inside bags if you would like to freeze.
Take 1-2 tablespoon per day. (Mix is smoothies, oatmeal, soups, applesauce, etc)
Storage:
Dried: Store in cool dry place (NOT YOUR REFRIGERATOR). Since the salt is a natural preservative, it helps to keep your Jamaican purple sea moss good for up to 3 years.
Gel: When placed into a glass container, sea moss gel can last between 2-3 weeks.
Soaked: If you are soaking your moss in water, you can leave it in a glass bowl in your refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
