Spirulina, sounds like a made up word and we get asked almost every day what Spirulina is.
So here we go:
🥬 Spirulina is a type of algae that grows in fresh or salt water. It comes as a supplement, in tablet or powder form. People use it for its health benefits, as it is rich in nutrients and has antioxidant properties;
🥬Spirulina was consumed by the ancient Azt but became popular again when NASA proposed that it could be grown in space for use by astronauts (3Trusted Source, 4Trusted Source).
🥬This tiny algae is packed with nutrients. A single tablespoon (tbsp.), or 7 g, of dried spirulina powder contains:
Protein: 4 g
Thiamin: 14% of the Daily Value (DV)
Riboflavin: 20% of the DV
Niacin: 6% of the DV
Copper: 47% of the DV
Iron: 11% of the DV
It also contains decent amounts of magnesium, potassium, and manganese.
🥬 In addition, the same amount contains only 20 calories and less than 2 g of carbohydrates
🚨BUT BE AWARE🚨
Spirulina is rich in all amino acids, including phenylalanine. If you have an autoimmune disease, such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, or lupus, you should avoid spirulina. Theoretically, it could stimulate your immune system and make your condition worse!!
We use both green and blue spirulina in our Peanut Banana Falcon and our Polar Espresso!
