What exactly is Spirulina?
Spirulina is a blue-green alga that grows naturally in mineral-rich lakes around the globe. It is one of the oldest inhabitants on earth, appearing first more than 3.6 billion years ago.
Our ancients knew back then its nourishing properties, and so it was cultivated in Africa, America, and the Middle East. Spirulina was rediscovered in the 1960 and has been since that intensely tested.
The NASA and the European Space Agency use nowadays Spirulina as space food, and the FAO proclaimed Spirulina as “The Best Food of Tomorrow”.
What type of spirulina should you get?
Always buy sun-dried organic spirulina to prevent taking in toxins and heavy metals. The algae are mostly sold as a green loose powder; I got mine in capsules. Hence, you can easily add the powder to your daily dishes, as long as they are not cooked foods because heat destroys the nutrients.
I prefer and enjoy my spirulina smoothie, it's refreshing, slightly giving a bubblegum flavor and it's deliciously unique. You can turn your spirulina into a spirulina smoothie bowl too and add chia seeds, dried berries, sliced almonds, and similar items. Be creative!
