Spirulina is a type algae, it has been found in fossils dating back billions of years all the way to the dawn of life on earth. It’s no wonder why it’s so good for all life to eat, as all life evolved in tandem with this microscopic organism.
螺旋藻是一种藻类，从已发现的化石判断出它的历史可以追溯到距今几十亿年前地球上刚有生命的时候。这也难怪为什么对所有的生物来说吃它都非常有好处，因为所有的生物都和这一微生物一起共同进化。
What makes it a Super Food?
是什么使得它成为一个超级食物？
It’s loaded with more nutrients and protein per gram than any other food we know of. It’s 60% protein by weight!! The best alternative to eating meat and losing weight nature can provide. It’s even use to feed livestock due to its large amount of protein.
它体内所含的营养和蛋白质的比例比我们已知的任何其他食物都要高。它体重的60％都是蛋白质!!它是大自然所能提供的既吃能肉又可以减肥的最佳选择。由于其大量的蛋白质,它甚至可以用来喂牲口。
The United Nations declared it vital to human diet and will lead the way to fight malnutrition around the world. China is the world’s second largest producer mostly in Hainan for its ideal weather, after Hawaii the global leader.
联合国宣布它对人类的饮食非常重要，并将会对世界各地营养不良的问题提供解决办法。中国是世界上螺旋藻第二大生产国,具体产地主要集中在海南,因为那里的天气非常利于螺旋藻生长.而全球最大的产地是夏威夷。
Eating one gram of dried powdered Spirulina by adding it to a salad or smoothie, anything not cooked, is the same as eating 1 kilo of assorted veggies and fruits. Cooking kills its power like kryptonite and Superman. It’s an amazing way to stay slim and healthy.
将1克晒干的螺旋藻粉添加到沙拉或冰沙中，无需任何烹调，就相当于吃1公斤的各类蔬菜和水果。这真的是保持苗条和健康的一个神奇的方式但是要注意的是，如果你烹饪它效果往往会适得其反，这种关系就像氪石和超人一样。
Here are some of Spirulina’s Best Super Powers for your health.
下面是螺旋藻对你的健康所能产生的一些超级功效。
1st
Absorbs and dispels toxins.
吸收和驱散毒素。
First and most important I think is its ability to absorb toxins and heavy metals from your blood and remove them. Almost all drinking water around the world has trace amount s of heavy metals. Even the best state funded filtering systems are unable to remove all traces, this applies globally, none of the developed countries are 100% clean. Spirulina will remove those trace amounts from your blood.
首先，也是最重要的，我认为是它能够吸收你的血液中的毒素和重金属，并去除它们。几乎在世界各地所有饮用水中都能发现微量重金属。即使是由最好的国家资助的过滤系统也无法去除所有的痕迹，这在全球范围内都是如此，没有一个发达国家的饮用水是100％干净的。而螺旋藻可以从你的血液中去除这些微量重金属。

Spirulina is extremely unknown and underrated in my opinion. Often times when I talk with people about the idea of eating algae they often refer to information they have heard about how it can be dangerous to eat algae. I believe it to be extremely beneficial to eat and it may be one of the things needed or most easily accessible to cure world hunger. It grows so fast and is 60% protein by weight! That's insane! The more people know of things like spirulina and chlorella the better. It really makes you wonder if it's actually necessary to kill animals to get protein when this stuff grows way faster and doesn't have to suffer for us to eat.
I couldn't agree more. I'm hoping to use steemit to help fund a project I've been working on to grow spirulina indoors, off grid using photo bioreactors. Enabling me to sell fresh moments after harvest to local shops, the best possible right? Its actually a very ambitious plan in the works. I am going to document the whole process and post it as it happens.
Spirulina is food of the gods. it has many uses.
螺旋藻在中国推广了多少年了，但是市场好像越来越小。
如果真的有需求又符合人性，那么这样的产品一定早就打开市场了。
对于螺旋藻需求上升的全球新闻我已经读过。也许中国生产的螺旋藻的出口价格高于它在国内销售的价格。
Thanks for the post. I used to consume spirulina quite a bit when I was a vegan. I must admit I didn't care much for the taste, but it is a loaded super food, as you pointed out in this post.
been taking it for years! it's a great protein
I just discovered it a this year. Don't know how i was missing all this time.
I love spirulina - i use it almost everyday in green smoothies - so good for you
i wish i had access to fresh here in Dalian China. But the supplements do have a positive effect i can't miss.
I can only get it as supplement from the health food shop - costs a fortune here in Egypt, as its an import so I have to use it sparingly, but won't do with out it..
What a pity. I would think Egypt would be the ideal climate for growing Spirulina outside.
I purchased a bottle of Spirulina it was costly $17 Canadian and I mixed it with Vegetable juice to offset the taste, but my mouth turned green, and it was really sticky to the bottom of my cup it was really hard to clean out of the smoothie maker, so I started to add it to my sauces and meats and that seem to work better. Have you also tried the super food Macca Root powder and or Goji Berries. Both are typically hard to find in a small town super market but I purchased a Goji berry plant and will grow it to generate my own, as the dried Goji berries do not hold the nutrition that it should in the fresh form. Thanks for the article.
Oh that's a cool idea to grow your own Goji berries. Documenting that would make a great post i think. Goji berries are quite popular in China and not as a Super Food but as a treat or candy. They add some sugar and flavours, they're alright. Luckily and amazingly I found Ocean Spray dried Cranberry's (Canadian berries in an American package,lol) which I add by the hand full to lots of stuff i eat.
How many grams was that bottle of Spirulina? That seems like a good price. I'm from Canada, I like to drink that Green Plus powder it has Spirulina and other stuff in it.
Im going to follow the Canadian girl.
Sounds magical .... anyone tried? I want to know how it really works?
it works. You will start feeling more energized and in a better mood generally speaking. Just take one gram pill per day, everyday for a week and you will feel it. No has ever ever eaten too much from what I have read but some people who take more than 3 grams at once have reported running to the bathroom...
