Superfoodies Organic Spirulina Powder

What is Spirulina Powder?

This Spirulina powder is certified organic and guaranteed contaminant free made from blue-green, freshwater algae. It is suitable for a vegan diet and has been dried at low temperatures with nothing added or taken away.

Spirulina powder has only become such a sought-after addition to the Western diet in recent years, meaning that many of our customers are still highly unfamiliar with this nutrient-dense and rather striking food supplement.

Sometimes sold in capsule form, it is made from a special type of unicellular freshwater blue-green algae that was once a valuable source of food and medicine for the Aztecs and Mesoamericans.

Today, spirulina algae is cultivated in lakes and pools all over the world, where it especially thrives at a pH of around 8.5 and a temperature of approximately 30 °C.

Thanks to its high nutritional content, NASA and the European Space Agency both proposed that spirulina be cultivated as a primary source of food during long-term space missions. 

Spirulina Powder Benefits

Those considering the purchase of spirulina powder for the very first time, quite rightly want to know more about its plethora of purported benefits.

These much prized benefits have been enjoyed for thousands of years by the Aztecs for example, who referred to spirulina as ‘tecuitlatl’ and supplied it to their athletes and warriors for added strength and endurance.

So, what makes this nutrient-dense powder extracted from blue-green, freshwater algae so special and which of these benefits would be of greatest interest to you? - 

• It contains an abundance of valuable nutrients, including protein (it’s actually considered a complete source of protein, making it a favourite with vegetarians).
• Possesses fibre and chlorophyll (the natural plant pigment that’s responsible for its striking colour and allows plants to absorb energy from light).
• It is also has calcium, vitamins (vitamins B12 and K) and minerals (such as magnesium, potassium, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, iron, copper and manganese). 

How to use Spirulina Powder 

Spirulina Powder is perfect in smoothies, shakes, juices and protein drinks, or as an additional ingredient in rawfood recipes.
