Yes, raw sea moss does have a taste, often described as "fishy." However, sea moss supplements are generally tasteless.
While raw sea moss possesses a distinctive ocean-like flavor, the form in which it is typically consumed significantly impacts the perceived taste. Here's a breakdown:
-
Raw Sea Moss: This form directly harvested from the ocean, often retains a "fishy" or "seaweed-like" taste, reflecting its marine origins. This taste can be more pronounced.
-
Sea Moss Gel: Often prepared by soaking and blending raw sea moss, the resulting gel can still carry a subtle ocean-like flavor, though it might be less intense than the raw form.
-
Sea Moss Supplements (Capsules, Powders): These processed forms usually undergo drying and encapsulation or pulverization, which often diminishes or eliminates any noticeable taste. Most users report these as being tasteless.
Before incorporating sea moss into your diet, especially if you have any pre-existing health conditions or concerns, consulting with a healthcare professional is recommended.
