It crunches between his teeth.

"We've had spirulina in our portfolio almost since the inception of Vitalvibe, as it is an amazing superfood and one of the most complex foods. The new form of crunchy and "spicy" spirulina is a whole new level of what spirulina can taste like.

What's unique about this form is that it can be added to salads, savoury dishes or just popped in your mouth. If I'm traveling, I always take Spirulina Spicy with me. Just half a handful for a few hours ahead."

- Jan (Petr) Noah, owner of Vitalvibe

Crunch. Colours. Tastes good. Helps.

  • More than a year passed before we got this spirulina into our offer.
  • The farm we import our Spirulina from offers it in a unique sun-dried form.
  • You won't find any other crunchy Spirulina in the Czech Republic.
  • Spirulina contains 65% protein, a wide variety of vitamins, minerals and other micro nutrients, yet is highly absorbable.

Its life on the farm.

The story of Spirulina begins on an organic farm in Auroville, located on the coast of South India. The specific sunny climate allows for a unique way of producing high quality Spirulina using organic farming methods.

Spirulina is cultivated in shallow ponds about 15 cm below the surface, whose water is enriched with nutrients (minerals and salts) that create optimal living conditions for the algae. The culture in the ponds is stirred several times a day to stimulate the process of photosynthesis.

The spirulina, which is harvested from the water as biomass, undergoes a purification and filtration process. It then undergoes a pressing process before it takes the form of a paste which is ground into 'spaghetti'. These are dried in the sun, which takes just a few hours in the local coastal climate. If you want seaweed with a spicy flavour, masala and chilli (Spirulina Crunchy Spicy) must be mixed in before drying. Finally, the Spirulina is poured and wrapped.

The story of the place of origin.

Our Spirulina comes from an interesting place steeped in spiritual tradition. Auroville is an experimental settlement whose mission is primarily to promote the spiritual development of man and a life of harmony. A number of ecological technologies and alternative practices are applied here.

Even the Spirulina grower is guided by ethical values. This farm with more than 20 years of tradition prides itself on operating in accordance with the principles of long-term sustainability and Fair Trade. It employs mainly women from socially disadvantaged local communities. It cares about friendly and safe working conditions for its employees and good wages.

This is spirulina crispy.

Originally native to Lake Huacachina in Peru, our Crispy Spirulina comes from the Spirulina Paracas strain, one of the earliest life forms (approximately 3.6 million years ago) and was used as a food source for the cultures of Mexico and Africa.

It is particularly interesting because of its crunchy form and its excellent taste, which is supplied directly on the farm. We offer it for two reasons - it's tastier than the powdered form and our co-owner Honza succumbed to it on his first taste.

Spirulina is used in salads, savoury dishes or on its own just to taste.

How it can help me

  • It helps people prone to anaemia because it promotes healthy blood formation (thanks to its iron and vitamin B6 content).
  • Iron is essential for the normal transfer of oxygen in the body, improving oxygenation.
  • It helps toreduce fatigue(due to the interplay of iron and vitamin B6).
  • The iron contained in spirulina contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
  • It contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system (thanks to its magnesium content).

It will help those who have increased micronutrient requirements:

  • Children who do not like to eat vegetables.
  • Teenagers, mothers or seniors who need sufficient nutrients.
  • Active athletes interested in micronutrient supplementation.
  • Modern busy people with a lack of energy.
  • Vegansm and vegetarians.
  • People who like to diversify and spice up their diet.

Je křupavá spirulina vhodná pro těhotné?

Ing. Petra Vašková odpověděl:

product specialist, holistic nutrition consultant

Dobrý den, Marti,

spirulinu těhotným ženám k pravidelné konzumaci nedoporučujeme. Nic se asi nestane, když se výjimečně objeví na talíři. 

Pozn.: spirulinu nedoporučujeme z důvodu obsahu fykobilinu, u kterého není známo, jakým způsobem ovlivňuje kojící, ale i malé děti a těhotné.

V případě dalších dotazů jsem k dispozici na 732 690 885 nebo petra.v@vitalvibe.cz.

Přeji krásný den,
s pozdravem,
Petra
