Spirulina

 

Spirulina (arthrospira plantensis) is a microscopic multi-cellular spiral-shaped microorganism, one of the first and simplest life form to exist on the earth for over 500 million years. It flourishes in warm climates and alkaline water, particularly those rich in mineral salts, where few other organisms can survive, and can tolerate a wide range of temperatures whilst retaining all its nutrients. It belongs to the family of blue-green algae because it contains both chlorophyll (providing green pigment) and phycocyanin (blue pigment).

 

The unusual aspect of spirulina, which separates it from true algae, is that is has no nucleus, the hard cellulose membrane characteristic of plant cells, yet spirulina's metabolic system is based on photosynthesis, a process of direct food energy production utilizing sunlight and chlorophyll, which is typical of plant life forms.
 
It requires no special processing and is fully digestible, and although it has been used as a food for more than 500 years, it became commercially available only at the beginning of the 1970s. It was selected by NASA and the European Space Agency as one of the primary foods to be cultivated during long-term space missions. By the year 2020, according to BioNat.net, worldwide Spirulina production is expected to reach 220,000 tons.

Spirulina is one of the most sterile foods on earth extremely high in energy containing all the B vitamins, which are themselves synonymous with high energy. Its minerals and vitamins are naturally bio-chelated, meaning they are wrapped in amino-acids for excellent assimilation by the body.
