What is chlorella?
Similar to spirulina that we used in my chocolate protein muffins, chlorella is a green single-cell micro alga that grows naturally in freshwater. Chlorella is high in chlorophyll, and it contains huge amounts of vitamin A, vitamin B12, iron, beta-carotene, copper, and trace amounts of zinc.
Chlorella is an excellent detoxifying agent because it binds to heavy metals, pesticides, and other wastes and eliminates them from the body
I love that Perfect Chlorella is 100% Organic Certified – no pesticides, herbicides, or toxic chemicals.
It is such a simple addition to our salad dressing, and an easy way to add a little more goodness into our meal!
