A frequently asked question is why our #greensuperfood blends such as #MightyGreens and #GreenDuo do not contain #spirulina.
The main reason is we try to limit ingredients to what we grow ourselves on our own 100% #organic family farms. If grown correctly, spirulina, #wheatgrass and other cereal #grass are all nutritionally similar. #Algae, such as spirulina, are most often food for water #animals, while grasses are food for nearly all land #mammals, including #carnivores. Spirulina is also similar to wheatgrass with respect to the #chlorophyll #detoxification that occurs (as long as the chlorophyll is not too oxidized.) Spirulina’s only drawbacks are a much lower #vegetable #fiber compared to most land #vegetables and a much higher bacterial level. Vegetable fiber is important for the #primate digestive tract. Vegetable fiber along with chlorophyll and other green food nutrients serve as the perfect environment for #probiotic bacteria. Spirulina has a much higher level of non-probiotic bacteria than quality cereal grass because it grows surrounded by the #nutrients found in #soil rather that drawing nutrients from soil through a root system like other vegetables. Some #plastic tub blends include both cereal grasses and spirulina. Adding spirulina to a plastic tub is important for more than #nutrition. Spirulina does not show the effects of #oxidation as quickly and is slower to turn brown in the presence of #oxygen.. Since cereal grasses turns brown faster in a plastic tub than spirulina, some tub companies add spirulina to mask the poor color and make the product look greener than it would without the spirulina. All Pines products are grown for maximum chlorophyll and green food nutrition. We are the original green #superfood company, established in 1976, 15 years before the first tub company. Pines International has never used plastic tubs in our nearly 40 years. Instead, we use the amber glass bottles with special metal caps that allow us to remove the oxygen and seal the product against the oxidation that occurs with cheap plastic tubs.
