Algae as a Food Source

 

Spirulina

SpirulinaAlgae is a microalgae that grows in both fresh and salt water. Often referred to as blue-green algae, It is a family of single-celled algae that are photosynthetic and can grow in fresh water as well as salt water.

It isconsidered one of the most popularnutritious sources of food supplementson the planet. Algae and tasteseaweed enhancersform usedthe base of the aquatic food chain. It is the primary source of nutrition and food to marine organisms like crabs, crustaceans, sea urchins, snails and some types of fish. These primary aquatic life form are then consumed by chefsfish, allsmall aroundsharks, corals, and baleen whales. These secondary consumers in the world.food Itchain comes packed with nutrition resultingare a number of health benefits.

Spirulina is super rich in proteins - about 60% to 70% of spirulina is made up to proteins. In addition, it is rich in minerals like Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Potassium, Sodium, Phosphorus, Copper, Manganese, Zinc, Cobalt, Sulfur and Chromium.
