About Seaweed, spirulina, dried
Dried spirulina is extraordinary by almost any nutritional measure: it runs extremely high in protein, with a full amino acid profile that is rare among plant foods, plus meaningful amounts of iron, B vitamins, and antioxidant pigments. The fat is low, the fiber modest. The catch is flavor - it is intensely algae-like, earthy, and briny in a way many people find difficult. Small amounts blended into smoothies or mixed into energy bars are the most practical approach. Treat it as a concentrated supplement rather than a bulk ingredient.
