Origin

Algues have been part of our earth for over 2 billion years. This causes them to be an important part in a lot of our ecosystems on earth. The oldest registration of the algue consumption dates back to the Aztecs. The Spanish explorers in the 16th century would with their own eyes experience how the natives would fish the algues out of the water and let them dry out in the sun to be consumend later on.

The algue family these powders are made of, is the Chlorella-family. This family was first discovered in the canals of Delft in the Netherlands. This was by M.W. Beijerink in 1889. As of now there are more than a hundred variants of this particular algue. This makes the selective sorting of the algues on their colour or aroma possible.
