DRAGON SUPERFOODS Spirulina powder 200g
Dragon Superfoods Organic Spirulina Powder is dried through a natural process that preserves its nutrients, then ground into a powder. It is grown in filtered and natural waters, under strict control. Spirulina (Arthrospira pfatensis) is a single-celled blue-green algae that gets its name because of its spiral cell structure. Spirulina has a deep dark green, slightly bluish color, due to the content of chlorophyll and with a specific and characteristic taste and aroma. With its 65% protein content, Spirulina powder is the food with the highest protein content. Spirulina protein contains all 8 essential amino acids, making it the most complete protein ever. Spirulina was discovered by researchers studying an African tribe. The tribe was very poor and had limited access to fruits, vegetables and meat. However, they remained healthy thanks to the fact that they regularly consumed the dark algae that grew around them. This algae, now known as Spirulina, was pulled from the lake and dried for the tribe to consume. This helped people get protein and other nutrients despite a poor diet and limited resources. Since Spirulina powder contains a high concentration of nutrients, it can be said that one small portion of Spirulina has the antioxidant power of 5 portions of fruits and vegetables. It has more antioxidants and phytonutrients than blueberries and spinach combined. Algae is mainly acquired from lakes, rivers and swamps. After harvesting, it is naturally dried. Drying allows to preserve the amount of nutrients, which can be reduced under the action of high temperature.
