Why the Cheaper Pound Can Cost You More
Pool-grown sea moss is cultivated in tanks or roped-off areas where salt is sometimes added to mimic seawater. It is cheaper by the pound, but it tends to be saltier, less mineral-dense and inconsistent in gel yield — which means more rinsing, more waste, and a weaker story to tell your customers.
Genuine wildcrafted sea moss expands more when soaked, so a pound goes further. Comparing suppliers on price per pound alone misses the number that actually decides your margin: cost per finished jar.
