Hey, Holistic Family! 🌿

We’re so excited to be a part of your wellness journey, and we want to make sure you get the best experience possible with your seamoss gel. Whether you’re new to seamoss or a seasoned pro, this guide will help you navigate what to expect when you receive your jars and how to store them for maximum freshness and longevity.

What to Expect Upon Arrival

When your seamoss gel arrives, you’ll notice it’s in a liquid state. This is because we deep-freeze your jars prior to shipping to maintain freshness during transit. As it thaws, it naturally transitions back into a liquid consistency, making it easy to handle upon arrival. Once refrigerated, it will thicken into the familiar gel consistency.

Why We Use Glass Jars

We carefully package our seamoss gel in glass jars because they:

• Extend shelf life by preserving the integrity of the product.

• Avoid introducing harmful chemicals that can come from plastic.

• Maintain the natural properties of our seamoss gel, which contains no added preservatives.

While glass jars are excellent for maintaining quality, they can shatter if not handled properly, especially when frozen. That’s why we recommend a few tips to ensure your jars are safe and your seamoss stays fresh.

 

Tips for Preserving Your Seamoss Gel

Here are some simple tips to store and preserve your seamoss gel safely:

1. Refrigerate Immediately

• Upon arrival, refrigerate the jars you’ll be using within the week or month. The gel will thicken as it chills.

2. Freeze the Rest Safely

• If you’ve ordered multiple jars, refrigerate the one(s) you’ll use soon and freeze the others for longer-term storage.

3. Leave Space for Freezing

• Glass jars can shatter if the seamoss expands in the freezer. To prevent this:

• Pour some of the gel into an ice cube tray before freezing.

• Once frozen, transfer the cubes into a ziplock bag. This method also makes portioning easy!

• Keep the remaining gel in the jar and refrigerate.

4. Freeze Seamoss in Liquid Form

• The best time to transfer the gel into an ice cube tray is upon arrival while the seamoss is still liquid. It’s easier to pour and avoids potential mess after the gel thickens.

5. Mind Your Freezer’s Strength

• Every freezer is different. Some freeze more aggressively, which can increase the risk of jars breaking. Taking precautions, like using ice cube trays, can save you from this issue.

Why Freezing Seamoss is a Great Option

Freezing is an excellent way to extend the shelf life of your seamoss gel while keeping it fresh. Frozen seamoss cubes are:

• Convenient to use in smoothies, teas, and recipes.

• A great way to maintain portion control.

• Perfect for preventing waste if you don’t plan to use an entire jar within a few weeks.

 

Quick Recap: Best Practices

• Refrigerate the jar immediately upon arrival.

• Freeze extra jars for long-term storage.

• Use ice cube trays for easy portions and to prevent jars from shattering.

• Always leave space in the jar if freezing it directly.
