According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), red seaweeds, the source of carrageenan, have been used for food since the 15th century. Today, carrageenan is a common food additive used as a thickener, but it can appear under a variety of other names on product labels. Knowing these alternative names is key to understanding the ingredients in your food.

According to manufacturers and product guides, it is entirely possible and straightforward to turn sea moss powder into gel. This is achieved by rehydrating the powdered form and blending it, leveraging the natural gelling properties of the carrageenan found in the sea moss.
