I’ll admit it upfront- spirulina powder may be an acquired taste for some. Some like it right off the bat, but some have to try it out for a while before they get to really love it. Remember that over our taste buds may change! It is certainly worth trying, for the fantastic benefits of ingesting chlorophyll-rich spirulina. Spirulina is about 60% protein by weight, and is rich in B vitamins, omega fatty acids, and enzymes.

Hi Kimberly!
I love all of your recipes and your book was amazing!
I was wondering what you know about red palm oil?
Just had this for lunch. I’ve never had spirulina before but I thought the dressing was delicious and I was pleasantly surprised with how filling the salad is!
I was just reading up on spirulina, and it says you have to be careful about consumption. Since its not sold as food, but rather as a dietary supplement in the us, it’s not regulated for toxicity and contamination from metal that may rust in the ocean. It says even a small amount could lead to health problems. Makes me nervous to eat something like this.
What brand of spirulina do you prefer?
I love your recipes and your book!
I have a question about herbs, how do you keep your herbs fresh for days? Out or in the refrigerator?
Thanks much!
Eva
I just keep them in the fridge. Using an airtight container can help as well, but I don’t always do that.
