Chlorella (powder)

Description

Chlorella powder is a finely ground, intensely green powder with an earthy-plant, slightly marine taste and a hint of bitterness. It has a moist, juicy chlorophyll color that gives dishes a vibrant green hue. As a nutritional supplement, it is rich in plant protein, chlorophyll, B vitamins, iron, magnesium, and antioxidants; regular use in moderate amounts may support mineral replenishment, antioxidant activity, and help maintain microbiota balance, though it does not replace a balanced diet or medical advice. Culinary uses of chlorella include adding it to smoothies, juices, sauces, pesto, cream soups, dips, or energy bars — it pairs well with citrus, ginger, coconut, and leafy vegetables. It should be stored in a sealed container in a cool, dry, and dark place, away from moisture and high temperatures; once opened, it is best to use it quickly or keep it in the fridge to maintain freshness and color.
