415. The Dirty Truth About Convenience Foods with Corinna Bellizzi

Algae Innovations

Algae is emerging as a powerful tool for sustainable nutrition, with innovations that promise to revolutionize food production. Corinna Bellizzi highlights the potential of spirulina, a type of algae, to replace traditional protein sources like beef, offering a carbon-neutral alternative that can be integrated into various foods 1. This spirulina, grown in controlled environments, not only sequesters carbon but also produces essential nutrients like vitamin B12 in its most bioavailable form, making it a valuable addition to vegan diets 1.

The algae that we're growing with Orlo Nutrition is actually grown photosynthetically in a controlled space.
