Chlorella powder (250g)

Chlorella is a natural plant food, one that you can use as a culinary ingredient in a variety of ways, so that you can enjoy the health benefits that Chlorella offers.

At Raw Living, we have been using Chlorella in this way for many years and we are passionate about bringing this new class of foods to you, and showing you how you can introduce them into your kitchen. When we consume these foods on a regular basis, we learn to be more aware of our body's needs, and more conscious that the very best way of keeping healthy is to watch what we eat. On this site and in Kate's books, we offer information on the most easy and accessible ways to take in these foods that can help keep us balanced and well.

Many of these foods are relatively new to us in the West, and to the majority of people they are still unheard of. In actual fact, they have been used in the countries they originate from for hundreds and often thousands of years, and are still in common use today. It is our wish to introduce to you a whole world of plants that feed the body in the truest sense. It is only in recent times that we consume food that does not have the minerals and nutritional content that nature intended. On our site, you can find many ways to add these foods into existing recipes, and also find many more exciting new recipes, making your entire culinary experience so much more interesting, and most importantly, helping you stay fully energised, and ever so slightly superhuman.

From Wikipedia:

Following global fears of an uncontrollable population boom, during the late 1940s and the early 1950s Chlorella was seen as a new and promising primary food source and as a possible solution to the then current world hunger crisis. Many people during this era thought that world hunger was a growing problem and saw Chlorella as a way to end this crisis by being able to provide large amounts of high quality food for a relatively low cost.

Raw Living's cracked, or broken, cell wall Chlorella is ecologically grown outdoors on Ishigaki Island, a beautiful coral reef and mangrove jungle, located at the southern tip of the Japanese archipelago. The Chlorella grows in a pristine environment with tropical sunshine, pure air and fresh mountain spring water rich in minerals.

The Chlorella is produced with food-grade nutrients and without pesticides and is considered to be the finest Chlorella anywhere, renowned for its purity, digestibility, taste and CGF content. Particularly high content of chlorophyll and chlorella extract is a vital characteristic of this Chlorella.

Chlorella has a tough fibrous cell-wall which needs to be broken down during processing to ensure bioavailability of its precious nutritional contents. Not all chlorella products are effectively processed in this way, that can mean digestibility is poor at around 35-40%. Raw Living Chlorella has very high digestability as a result of a specialised cracked-cell processing system.

Our Chlorella is dried using a high-impact spray drying system - a technique to dry temperature sensitive foods, supplements and pharmaceuticals without impairing their delicate composition. The chlorella has its cell-wall ruptured by this process which makes it 85% digestable (certified), and nutritionally available to the body. The cracking of the cells in this way, rather than their pulverisation, means that the nutritious contents are not spilled. It is only once the chlorella enters the stomach that the nutrients are released, and get to work nourishing the body. This system delivers the maximum possible nutritional value and digestibility.

It's potency and purity have been rigorously tested by the Japanese government and independent laboratories. The Chlorella is free of toxic residues and has no chemical additives. The Chlorella powder is grown without the use of agrichemicals or pesticides, and is processed under rigid quality control and sanitation standards.
