What is Spirulina?
What are its nutritional content and health benefits?
But even then, Spirulina didn’t immediately become a huge name in the health food industry—not until it has been utilized by NASA as a dietary supplement for astronauts in outer space.
The world finally started to look more closely at spirulina and through countless research and studies, found this humble “algae” to contain an astounding amount of nutrients.
Why is spirulina good for you? Spirulina has the most concentrated amounts of protein among all foods—at 67 to 71%. It contains all eight essential amino acids, vitamins A, B, E, K, calcium, iron, magnesium, chlorophyll, phytonutrients, enzymes and more.
Catholic nuns in Central Africa use Spirulina to fight malnutrition in the area—it is that nutritious. It is a sustainable food source that could potentially help fight world hunger. But aside from being a food source, raw spirulina can be used to help health improvevement with wide range of ailments such as allergies, high cholesterol, high-blood pressure, anemia and fatigue.
This “miracle plant” promotes healthy teeth, metabolism rates, immune system, normal muscle and cognitive functions.
What makes our Spirulina different?
We grow two varieties of premium spirulina: Hawaiian and Chinese spirulina.
Our Spirulina from China is cultivated on a peninsula in the South China Sea far from urbanized areas that could pollute the waters with contaminants. Surrounded by natural forests, the location of our farm gets long hours of sunshine and consistent warm temperatures—factors that are essential for growing spirulina.
While other spirulina growers use river or irrigation water, our Hawaiian spirulina are grown in a combination of fresh and salt waters in shallow ponds adjacent to the Pacific Ocean: 95% of the fresh water we use are drawn from wells in the rainforest aquifer.
The other 5% is deep Hawaiian sea water pumped from a depth of 2,000 feet. This deep sea water, which has not seen the sun for more than 2,000 years—is rich in nutrients and minerals that combined with the intense equatorial sunlight produce a more nutritious, chlorophyll-rich raw spirulina.
This spirulina strain, also called Spirulina Pacifica, is also packed with carotenoids, antioxidants, phycobiliproteins, enzymes, Vitamins B12, magnesium, calcium and 94 trace minerals compared with other varieties.
Spirulina grows in monoculture in bodies of water that are very alkaline. Microorganisms find such an environment hostile and cannot survive in the environment where spirulina thrives. Since it is essentially not required to use chemical pesticides to cultivate and sterilize it, our spirulina is grown this way—naturally, simply, organically.
We take the quality of our products very seriously and so, to be absolutely sure our finished product is free from lead, mercury and other contaminants, we routinely test our spirulina for the presence of heavy metals. Independent third party laboratories also test the spirulina every quarter for radiation contamination. Results show no contamination of any kind. Our Chinese Spirulina is organically Certified. The Hawaiian Spirulina is not certified organic but both products are pesticide free.
Our Spirulina is not harvest before it’s time—our producer waits for around two months of continuous growth before they harvest it for the first time.
For harvest, the spirulina is removed from the waters through a fine screen mesh. They are sieved before being transferred to a pond where they would be washed and picked by hand. This way, we are absolutely sure only pure spirulina will be processed.
The cleaned spirulina will then be transferred to a drying chamber to remove its moisture in such a way that its nutritional value is retained.
