When stored properly in a cool, dark place like a cupboard or pantry, dried sea moss can last for over a year. It is important to keep it in an airtight container or a sealed bag to protect it from moisture and humidity, as exposure to these elements can cause the sea moss to degrade more quickly. However, it's always a good idea to periodically check the dried sea moss for any signs of spoilage, such as mold, discoloration, or an off smell, especially if it has been stored for a long time. If you notice any of these signs, it is best to discard the sea moss to ensure food safety.

To make sea moss gel, you will need the following ingredients and equipment:

Ingredients:

• Dried sea moss

• Water (filtered or spring water is recommended)

• Lime or lemon juice (optional, for reducing sea taste)

Equipment:

• Bowl or container for soaking

• Blender or food processor

• Airtight container for storage

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to make sea moss gel:

1. Rinse the dried sea moss thoroughly to remove any debris or salt residue.

2. Place the sea moss in a bowl or container and cover it with water. Optionally, you can add some lime or lemon juice to the water to help reduce the sea taste. Soak for at least 4-6 hours or overnight.

3. Drain and rinse the sea moss again to remove any remaining debris.

4. Transfer the soaked sea moss to a blender or food processor.

5. Add fresh water to the blender, using a ratio of 1 cup of water for every 1 ounce (28 grams) of sea moss.

6. Blend the sea moss and water mixture on high speed until it reaches a smooth and gel-like consistency.

7. Transfer the sea moss gel to an airtight container for storage.

8. Refrigerate the sea moss gel, where it can stay fresh for about 1-2 weeks.

The sea moss gel can be used as a thickening agent in various recipes, such as smoothies, desserts, or even as a face mask for skincare purposes. Adjust the amount of sea moss gel according to the specific recipe you are using.
