Spirulina is a blue-green algae grown in fresh water around the world, usually cultivated under an abundance of sunlight. It is known for its high plant-based protein content, offering ALL of the essential amino acids. 3 tablespoons of spirulina is equivalent to the protein content of 2 eggs! It contains a high amount of vitamins and minerals, as well as essential fatty acids such as gamma linoleic acid.
