SPIRULINA
Spirulina is often referred to as a blue-green algae, however it is not a true algae in biological terms but rather a cyanobacteria. This distinctive classification is given because its genetic material is not organised in a membrane bound nucleus yet it still uses the sun as a source of energy just like plants do.
Known as "The Ultimate Ocean Protein", this dark, greeny-blue, nutrient dense powder is a powerhouse of important compounds which are crucial to human health. Spirulina is considered as one of the most complete and nutrient dense foods on the planet. Gram for gram, spirulina has over 3 times more protein than salmon and over 20 times more beta-carotene than carrots.
Spirulina is a superfood, high in protein, vitamins and minerals and it is considered by NASA and the ESA one of the only suitable foods to be cultivated on long distance space missions !
