What is Purple Sea Moss?

Purple Sea Moss, or Chondrus crispus or Eucheuma Cottonii is a type of red algae found along the Atlantic coasts of North America and Europe. Its vibrant hue comes from anthocyanins, the same natural pigments found in blueberries and blackberries. Unlike gold or green varieties, purple sea moss is sought after for its unique color and composition.
