Stefania Abbona is on a big mission with her Algae Factory: She is looking for ways to feed the growing world population in a healthy and ecologically beneficial way. Her solution: chocolate with spirulina flakes.
Goal: useful and tasty food
The world’s population is growing in seconds, but food resources are limited. The solution: algae. Cultivation is ecologically advantageous and the nutrient content is high. Spirulina is currently mainly available on the market as tablets or in powder form.
But the Algae Factory has a bigger goal. They want to ensure that their products are not only useful but also really taste good. That’s why they combine the beneficial ingredients with goodies. The chocolate variant with spirulina flakes should still be unique. And who knows, maybe that way we can get used to the food of the future better.
Spirulina is so healthy
Said spirulina are cyanobacteria, which are also called blue-green algae or microalgae. Algae are rightly considered super suppliers because they contain a lot of proteins and important vitamins. The vitamin B12 content of some types of algae is even higher than that of meat! Algae also contain important minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and iron. Algae also provide significant amounts of the important trace element iodine. On average, there is around 10 mg iodine per 100 g of algae. This makes algae particularly valuable for vegetarians and vegans.
It doesn’t necessarily have to be the spirulina chocolate
If you are following a healthy diet and want to include spirulina in your diet, you don’t need to buy Algae Factory’s Spirulina Chocolate. We have great alternative recipes for you that you absolutely have to try!
