HOME-GROWN SPIRULINA: The Earth’s Superfood with Rhykka Connelly

Scientists now say that all land plants arose eons ago as marine algae came ashore. Today, algae are still considered to be the most important organisms on Earth. Not only do they convert about 1/3 of the planet’s carbon dioxide into oxygen, they are the Earth’s primary source of bio-available nutrition, synthesizing and providing essential nutrients to consumers up the food chain. That abundant Omega-3 you find in fish? Fish get it from eating algae. Algae also make substances that ward off common bacteria and viruses, keeping fish healthy. There’s a lot of buzz around this superfood, but not all algae are created equal. Rhykka will tell you which strains are considered superfoods, which strains can be used as an organic fertilizer, and which ones you don’t want to mess with. She’ll show you how easy it is to set-up your own Spirulina culture in your kitchen window or with a grow light, when and how to harvest it, and she’ll share some recipes to make your own delicious super snacks.
