Organic Green Spirulina Powder

Spirulina is a type of cyanobacteria — blue-green algae that grow in both fresh and saltwater and is found worldwide. However, it mostly grows in tropical climates. Though it recently hit the limelight as a superfood, people used it for centuries. The Aztecs were commonly known to consume these algae regularly, as were early African tribes.

Organic Green Spirulina Powder: Benefits, Protein, Nutrition

Spirulina's value is in its immune-boosting abilities, and some even say that it can help fight off allergies. It's packed with nutrients that can help the body fight off infection and ward off fatigue, and consuming as little as 1 Tbsp of Spirulina powder a day can make you feel stronger and happier over time.

• Complete Protein: Protein is an important building block for cells — including muscles, bones, and cells — throughout the body. A plant-based protein, spirulina powder, is particularly valued because it is a complete protein source. It has all nine essential amino acids that the body can't produce on its own. That is especially important for vegetarians and vegans whose plant-based protein sources often need to be carefully paired with one another to ensure these essential acids consumed regularly. And because Spirulina is 60% protein, this benefit is all the more relevant.
• Calcium: Calcium increases bone density and growth, which helps stave off or fight against conditions such as arthritis or osteoporosis. Calcium also helps pass messages between the brain and the nerves, helping muscles contract the way that they should.

Vitamins

• Vitamin A: If you've ever heard that eating carrots can help prevent blindness, it's not an old wives' tale. Rather, it's an association made because carrots, like spirulina powder, are packed with Vitamin A, which shows to help vision. Vitamin A is also important for immune system health, and it promotes organ function.
• Vitamin E: Vitamin E consumption helps to reduce risks of heart disease and inflammation and the development of free radicals. Besides, it supports the immune system functioning.
• Vitamin K: Prothrombin is a protein that helps the body with blood clotting. Vitamin K, in turn, is a key ingredient in producing prothrombin, and regular Vitamin K consumption can help with your body's blood clotting factors. It will also regulate calcium levels in the blood.

Organic Green Spirulina Powder Usage and Taste

Almost everyone who has tried it has their own favorite spirulina powder recipe for a smoothie. You can add it to any blend of fruits and veggies. First, start with adding a teaspoon and increase the dose whenever you feel comfortable. If you take spirulina powder in the form of supplements, the recommended dose is to 4-6 500mg-capsules a day. However, you can add as much of it as you need into various foods. Organic Spirulina powder taste is rather peculiar. If you don't like that, mix the powder with fruits, like mango or pineapple, or flavor the dish with spices. Aside from smoothies, you can enjoy your daily fix of spirulina powder by blending it into a glass of juice or:

• making spirulina hummus or dip (mix with beans)
• baking spirulina powder-infused goodies
• making homemade deep-green spirulina noodles
• creating delicious and original sauces and seasonings
• adding a bit of spirulina green powder to pureed soups
• sprinkling powder on salads

Store Food To Live Organic Spirulina Powder in an airtight container. Keep it in a cool, dark place. Exposure to heat, light, air, or moisture will make antioxidants and nutrients in spirulina powder degrade fast. Consider storing an organic spirulina powder bulk pack in the fridge.
