Spirulina on Wikipedia | Spirulina is a microscopic blue-green alga living both in sea and fresh water. Spirulina is the common name for human and animal food produced primarily from two species of cyanobacteria. [Spirulina is] referred to as 'algae' because they are aquatic organisms capable of photosynthesis. Spirulina contains an unusually high amount of protein. It is a complete protein, containing all essential amino acids. It is superior to typical plant protein, such as that from legumes. Spirulina is rich in [the essential fatty acid] gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). Spirulina is a rich source of potassium. | |
