Spirulina

nutrient value

We tend to think of red meat when we talk about high levels of protein (27% protein in red meat). But spirulina tweaks the nose of meaty proteins, weighing in at an impressive 60% protein content! It doesn’t just contain protein though; spirulina is loaded with iron, calcium and magnesium as well as the major Vitamins from A through to E.

magical facts

Spirulina is just one of over 40,000 different types of micro-algae. All they need to prosper is a drop of water and some sunshine…they sound like humans!

trivia

Back in 1970 just 100 tons of spirulina was manufactured. It is forecast that by the year 2020 it will be 220,000 tons! Now that’s a lot of algae!
