Irish Moss is a seaweed that was originally found near Ireland hence the name.
The Irish consumed Irish Moss during the famine of the 19th century in Ireland and they (Irish migrants) brought the tradition to Jamaica. It is one of Jamaica’s most renowned drinks among men (and some women) who seek “vigor”. It is also used by many as herbal medicine. The seaweed grows on rocks in Jamaica.
Beetroot is a rich source of potent antioxidants and nutrients, including magnesium, sodium, potassium, Vitamin C and betaine, which is important for cardiovascular health.
Here is a combination of these two (2) very powerful ingredients that many Jamaicans enjoy, to develop a unique and truly Jamaican drink. We hope you enjoy it!
