Although its history dates back to the Aztec Empire, Spirulina has only begun to be incorporated into the diet in relatively recent years. This food is characterized by its richness in proteins, more than 50% of its composition, which provide 8 essential amino acids, those that the body cannot synthesize. This composition has caused the UN to pay attention to it, especially in situations of malnutrition. So much so that Spirulina was declared at the 1974 UN World Food Conference, as THE BEST FOOD FOR THE FUTURE.
