The Spirulina blue-green micro algae are acknowledged as a natural superfood consumed by the Aztecs millennia ago.
They’re incredibly rich in protein, but also contain a wide number of trace minerals, vitamins and carotenoids.
The healthy seaweed forms a unique antioxidant combination that protects cells from collapsing and is found in no other food.
Spirulina’s compounds include also gamma linolenic fatty acid and essential amino acids. The miraculous algae food can give a powerful push to balance your entire organism, by fighting illnesses, allergies, immune disorders, infections and gastroenterological problems.
The reason for the alga’s properties is the ability to increase the production of antibodies, infection-fighting proteins and other immunity boosting cells.
The natural plant supplement has an odd taste, which some people find hard to get used to.
If you’re one of them, you can consider using the algae as a vital ingredient in some exquisite meal recipes or awesome drinks, because cooking with Spirulina is healthy and it can definitely be delicious.
