You may remember Dr. Sebi giving credit to something called ‘sea moss’ for helping him to father 17 children. Sea moss is packed with so many nutrients that benefit male health particularly, that some Brothers have thrown away their Viagra!
Whether you have issues in that area or not, sea moss should be on everyone’s menu – Women and Men alike. Thats because sea moss is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that include:
✓ dietary fiber
✓ Vitamin K
✓ Calcium
✓ Copper
✓ Riboflavin
✓ Folate
✓ Iron
✓ Magnesium
✓ Phosphorus
✓ Zinc
✓ Iodine
✓ Sulfur
✓ and Manganese.
And since sea moss is an algae, it is appropriate for all plant based diets, including the Melanin Diet.
The problem with sea moss is that on its own, it is not very appetizing. In fact, the taste and texture is a big turn-off. The good news is that there are some delicious recipes out there that will have you craving sea moss every day of the week.
I have personally collected dozens of sea moss recipes, tried many of them, and included the 6 best ones below. Before you check out the recipes, you will need to have some essentials on hand and ready to go. Here are the tools and ingredients that I suggest.

Forget Viagra – Why Black Men Should Be Drinking Sea Moss Instead
Step 1: Remove your sea moss from the bag and wash it thoroughly.
Step 2: Put it into a large bowl filled with cool water. It doesn’t look like a lot but this stuff really expands so make sure to use a large bowl filled with water.
Step 3: Cover and leave overnight to rehydrate. Once the sea moss has absorbed the water in the bowl, it will look something like this…
Step 4: Put your sea moss into a blender along with 1 cup of activated water for every ounce of sea moss
