p SPIRULINA is a high whole food source of Protein, Human Active B12, Beta Carotene, Antioxidants, Chlorophyll and Glycosen - making it the super blue-green algae. Also an ecologically beneficial food. Spirulina is a blue-green coloured vegetable algae found in both fresh and saltwater, from the prehistoric cyanobacteria family. It is a typically adaptable example of the microalgae varieties, growing well in extreme conditions. It particularly thrives in naturally mineral rich alkaline lakes. Its key requirements are sunlight and a hot climate. Spirulina is now cultivated worldwide for the commercial dietary supplement market in specialised open ponds. As the issue of food production for our increasingly undernourished planetary population gains importance, cultivation of this highly productive and nutrient dense algae could offer a major contribution to solving the problem. Spirulina is a valuable nutrient source, and as a reliable source of vegetable protein is of particular benefit to people eating a vegan or vegetarian diet. /p
