Sea moss usually shows up as a gel in a jar or capsules in a bottle. We think it belongs in food.

For most of human history, raw honey was how remarkable ingredients were kept and enjoyed — nature's own pantry for the good stuff. So we took sea moss — the coastal seaweed simmered into Caribbean and Irish kitchens for generations — and blended it with golden pineapple into raw California honey. Sea moss is the quiet one: it adds body and a silky texture rather than flavor. Pineapple brings the brightness — tangy, sunny, sunshine by the spoonful over the mellow honey.

This is the blend for the middle of the day. Squeeze it into a smoothie, drizzle it over a fruit bowl, or stir a spoonful into sparkling water for a honey soda you didn't know existed.

Great for smoothie regulars looking for a new base note, for anyone building a better mocktail shelf, and for the person at the table who always orders the tropical thing. Summer afternoons, picnic bags, and desk-drawer pick-me-ups all qualify.

Bright, silky, a little unexpected — and made in small batches in Los Angeles from three ingredients you can name: raw honey, pineapple, sea moss.
