What Got Me Into Sea Moss: The Story Behind Granny P's

What Got Me Into Sea Moss: The Story Behind Granny P's

Hi there Sea Moss Fam!

My name is Mystery Furtado, and I am the proud owner of Granny P's, a company rooted in love, heritage, and the wisdom passed down by my incredible grandmother, Rose Zacharias Palacio—affectionately known as Granny P.

Granny P wasn’t just a grandmother; she was a healer, a nurturer, and a woman of boundless wisdom. Through her love and the natural remedies she shared, she taught me the importance of health, healing, and the powerful connection between what we eat and how we feel. Her passion for holistic wellness inspired me to start Granny P's, where we honor her legacy by bringing premium sea moss products to your table.

Sea moss has been a game changer in my life, not just as a business venture but as a deeply personal journey. It’s a nutrient-dense superfood that Granny P always spoke highly of—a gift from nature that can nourish our bodies in so many ways. For generations, sea moss has been celebrated for its healing properties, and I knew I wanted to share this gift with others while keeping my grandmother’s legacy alive.

But my story doesn’t stop with sea moss. When I’m not crafting sea moss gels or ensuring our products are the best they can be, I’m focused on another passion of mine: giving back to my community. I founded a charity dedicated to supporting the African, Caribbean, and Black (ACB) community, particularly those who are at risk of or living with diabetes.

Through this charity, we teach food literacy—empowering people with the knowledge to make healthier choices and reconnect with the foods that are part of their heritage. We also grow Afrocentric foods, turning unused land into vibrant spaces where cultural vegetables and herbs thrive. By doing so, we aim to build stronger, healthier communities while addressing systemic barriers like food deserts and health inequities.

So, what got me into sea moss? It’s simple—it’s the same thing that drives everything I do: a deep love for my roots, my family, and my community. Granny P’s wisdom taught me that healing starts from within, and it’s my mission to carry her legacy forward, one jar of sea moss at a time.

Thank you for joining me on this journey. Whether you’re here for sea moss or to learn more about health and healing, know that everything I do is rooted in love and a commitment to making the world a little healthier and happier.

With gratitude,
Mystery Furtado
Owner, Granny P's
