Maybe you’re already familiar with spirulina, but if not, stay tuned as we’re about to go into more detail about what spirulina is, why you should still consume it and how to add spirulina to your diet.
What is spirulina?
Spirulina, or nutrient-rich blue-green algae, is an excellent substitute for protein powder. Spirulina contains 60-70% protein, giving even beef and chicken meat a run for its money with its high protein content. In addition, spirulina is rich in essential nutrients and antioxidants – including plant proteins, complex carbohydrates, iron, calcium, magnesium and vitamins A, K and B – making it an excellent source of vitamins and minerals. It is mainly cultivated in high pH, nutrient-rich water bodies in Africa, Asia, South and Central America, but nowadays spirulina is also cultivated in specialised algae farms around the world. The largest algae farms are in the US, Thailand, India and China.
