Spirulina powder

Listing ID #731054

We are offering spirulina powder. Spirulina gives 50 times more usable protein than whole wheat flour (2.8 x 50 = 140). Or, to say it another way, it takes only 16 ounce (4.5 grams) of spirulina to get the same amount of protein as 8 ounces of whole wheat flour (provided it finds its way into people's stomachs). Hopefully, the relief agencies are adding some vitamins and minerals to the flour, because wheat is notoriously low in these as well.
Vitamins and minerals
spirulina gives as much calcium as milk, 15 times more vitamin a than carrots, 3 times the iron of sirloin steak, 2.5 times the vitamin b-12 of calves' liver, 3.7 times more potassium than rice. Being high in antioxidants such as vitamin e, and ferrodoxin, spirulina will store safely for years if kept air and water tight.
Hopefully, the whole wheat porridge is not being heated too high. Cooking destroys many amino acids, vitamins and most enzymes. Spirulina is uncooked, raw food with only the water removed.
Enzymes
all food is, at least potentially, a poison until converted into simple structures by enzymes. Metabolism is an enzymatic process from beginning to end. Whatever their value, none of the other essential nutrients are usable by your body without enzymes. Spirulina is both high in enzymes and thermophilic.
That is, it can withstand relatively high temperatures without losing its properties. In fact, spirulina is so high in enzyme activity that even after being dried (at 160 0f) it will often start growing again if placed in the right medium, temperature and sunlight.
Pigments
chlorophyll is an essential pigment. Spirulina is about 1% chlorophyll, which is 2 to 3 times more than most land plants. Green chlorophyll, which carries co2 in plant respiration, has nearly the same molecular structure as red hemin, the pigment forming hemoglobin in red blood cells.
