For the conscious consumer, it can be challenging to find products that not only promote sustainability for the planet, but actually offer the nutrition needed to sustain an energetic, adventure-filled lifestyle.
Growing plant-based crops for protein like soy, demands large quantities of space and water, which result in causing issues like deforestation in Latin America. Unlike other plant-based proteins, our spirulina can be commercially cultivated in a much smaller piece of land.
The amount of land required to grow 1kg worth of protein with spirulina can be as small as an A4 sized paper! Many times smaller compared to 16sqm (4 ping-pong tables) and 190sqm (1.5 swimming lanes) to grow 1kg of protein with soy and beef respectively.
Spirulina production uses less water than any other vegetable crop! It takes less than 500 litres of water to grow 1kg of spirulina. To produce the equivalent amount of protein with soy and beef, it takes 4x and 50x more water than spirulina respectively.
Even the pesticide-free water used to grow spirulina isn’t wasted, the small percentage of water changed out of ponds where SimpliiGood is harvested, is recycled for agriculture around our production facility. That not only conserves water, but has also significantly increased in crop yield because of the highly nutritious content of the water we’re recycling—and that with no pesticide or herbicide runoff in the process!
The entirety of the harvested spirulina is used unlike other crops where root, stem, and leaf systems are all by-products. A recent report showed that even at harvest, almost 40% of vegetables are tossed for being ‘ugly,’ a problem that a microalgae will never have.
With a 95% absorption rate, no nutrients are left undigested and unprocessed because SimpliiGood’s frozen and fresh delivery system allows for the preservation of virtually all of the nutrients present during harvesting. Nothing is being wasted in the process!
