What is Spirulina?

Perfect Health in a Jar - Raw Living Spirulina

WHAT IS RAW LIVING SPIRULINA?

You may be asking yourself, what is Spirulina? Spirulina is best known as blue-green algae. It is one of the planet’s most nutrient-dense, plant-based protein sources. Raw Living Spirulina has perfected the systems for growing in the USA so that it is possible to deliver fresh, pure-living Spirulina to your door within hours after it is harvested in its most natural form. Raw Living Spirulina is 100% raw, fresh, and alive in an entirely new way — making it the most potent Spirulina available anywhere. “Feeding the World – Rethinking Protein”

Raw Living Spirulina is primarily a blue protein called phycocyanin – light-harvesting pigments that capture the sun’s red, yellow, and blue spectrum – found nowhere else on the planet except in blue-green algae. Historically, humans have consumed Spirulina as food since tens of thousands of years ago. Spirulina is a staple food, a protein source for indigenous people living around the saline lakes in Mexico and Africa.

Fresh Spirulina is the most easily digestible plant-based protein that our bodies instantly recognize and use as raw material cellular building blocks—transforming our health one spoonful at a time!

Spirulina is rich in protein, a core substance of any life form, and the constituent amino acids thereof are ideally balanced.

TRULY FRESH

Raw Living Spirulina is as fresh as it gets. We grow and harvest our Spirulina in Florida, USA, where clean air and water are. Our definition of the word fresh is precisely what you should expect it to be.

Each Sunday -Wednesday, we harvest what is needed to fulfill our orders for the week. Our fresh Raw Living Spirulina is chilled overnight, then carefully packed into glass jars and shipped to you via FedEx Express in our compostable, sustainable, eco-friendly, and economical green packaging custom coolers. This is genuinely beyond fresh.

Our focus is to improve the health and well-being of our people and our planet by reducing the environmental impact of every package shipped.

3.5 BILLION YEARS OF EVOLUTION

Spirulina is one of the oldest life forms on Earth, known as the “root of life.” This blue-green microalga is partly responsible for producing the oxygen in the planet’s atmosphere that billions of years ago allowed the planet’s originating life forms to develop. As a result, Spirulina is the world’s first superfood and one of the most nutrient-rich foods on Earth.

The blue-green algae evolved into creatures able to assimilate the carbon dioxide dissolved in water, which led to the formation of the ozone layer around the Earth. Gradually, they began releasing significant amounts of oxygen. This led to decreased ultraviolet radiation reaching the Earth’s surface, forming an Earth environment suited for plants and animals to thrive. Then, the birth of various kinds of life forms was triggered.

Spirulina (Athrospira Maxima) is microscopic blue-green algae or cyanobacteria. The critical thing about cyanobacteria is that they photosynthesize. Like trees, they capture the sun’s light energy in their bodies and use it to make carbohydrates from CO2. In so doing, they release oxygen. In primordial epochs, when life began, Spirulina and other cyanobacteria’s actions put oxygen in the atmosphere. This allowed life to explode, thrive, and diversify into all its wondrous forms, including you and me.

WHOLE PLANT BASED FOOD

Raw Living Spirulina is a whole food, not an isolated synthetic nutrient like most supplements.

This is different from any Spirulina you’ve ever seen or tasted. It’s creamy, delicious, and gourmet. Raw Living Spirulina is 150% higher in nutritional value than dried Spirulina, and according to a NASA study, in 2012, one pound of Spirulina equals one thousand pounds of fresh vegetables.

A blue pigment called “phycocyanin,” which is specific to Spirulina, evolved not only into chlorophyll-a, which is essential to plant photosynthesis but also into the hemoglobin contained in the red blood cells of animals. As a result, it is a thriving life form with high vitality.

Best of all, Raw Living Spirulina is concentrated in over 30 Billion living cells per jar. Enjoy it right off the spoon, like almond butter or scoop a spoonful into your pre-or post-workout favorite and add it to your kid’s juice! Our favorite is mixing it into fresh Florida coconut water. Please take it on an empty stomach for maximum bioavailability first thing in the morning. This will provide instant benefits from the world’s most nutritious, natural whole food.

GOURMET DELICIOUS TASTE

So, now you understand the science behind it a little better; however, you may still wonder, what is Spirulina as a food product? In addition to the many health benefits, it has a wide range of applications in the kitchen. Raw Living Spirulina tastes like a fine gourmet vegan cream cheese, pudding, or yogurt. When Spirulina, or any vegetable, is genuinely fresh, the taste and aroma are clean. When whole food nutrients are naturally living and genuinely raw, the flavors and benefits are at their peak and are instinctually accepted by the human body.

The most dramatic surprise you’ll immediately notice with Raw Living Spirulina will be unexpected, unlike that unpleasant odor or flavor with dead Spirulina powders. Raw Living Spirulina is the way nature intended. It is not formulated in a lab nor processed in any way. Nourishing your body with fully bio-absorbable living plant-based delicious nutrients with high efficacy is simply a yes-brainer.”

LOCALLY GROWN AND HARVESTED IN FLORIDA USA

According to a statement, the 19-month study involving scientists from NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory) and Arizona State University (ASU) concluded that Florida’s humidity and lack of dramatic swings between hot and cold made it the best site for cultivating algae.

We believe that local is best for the food we consume. Raw Living Spirulina is grown on a small farm in the USA. Located in Vero Beach, Florida, in the center of the organic farming country, we can harvest fresh every week and ship directly to our customers the next day without processing, freezing, storing, etc. It is vitally essential for our health and the health of our planet that we strive to consume food as fresh as possible.
