Spirulina? Why is it Good For Me?

It is often grown in commercial tanks and is then usually freeze dried or manufactured into spirulina capsules or spirulina tablets before it is distributed to health food practitioners.
Spirulina has an amazingly large chlorophyll content, as much as 70% in fact, and it is the large volume of chlorophyll that gives it the deep green/blue colour it is famed for. In fact Nestle have begun using spirulina as a natural colouring agent for their blue smarties, which you may remember was abandoned in 2006 until this year because of the chemical colourings they previously used. (Nestle introduced natural colours and flavours across the entire range because of health issues over the chemicals used)
