Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Packaging: It was packaged nicely (like typical sea moss pakages are) with a see-through window in the front as pictured. Initial Inspection: It was not overly salty or sandy and there was definitely an ocean-like/sea-like smell upon opening the bag, but it was not overwhelming. It did not smell like bleach, chlorine or any chemicals whatsoever and it was amber in color, which is indicative of it being wildcrafted. It was not crunchy but very dry and no moisture was present. So far so good! Soaking: I DID NOT BOIL MINE! I let it soak overnight, approximately two to three ounces. When I tell you it more than doubled in size, please believe me! I had to tranfer it to a larger soaking bowl. Though it did not "melt" when I squeezed the strands, it was very soft and jelly-like after soaking. Blending: Before blending, (tip) I used kitchen scissors to cut the moss into smaller strands to prevent them being caught in the blender and causing it to overwork. I added the cut up sea moss to the blender and then added the water in which it soaked. It blended smoothly into a consistent paste with no absolutely no lumps. Storage: From the two to three ounces, I was able to fill two 16oz mason jars and one 8oz container! Talk about bang for your buck! I stored them in the refrigerator and they formed a perfect gel. Quality: I waited to give the review because although the preparation was easy, I wanted to be sure I FELT the true benefits based on CONSUMPTION since this is my first time trying this seller. I absolutely do. I hope the product never changes because I am sold on this one! Sea moss for life.
