Chlorella is a single-cell green algae which is part of Chlorophyta family. It is spherical in shape, about 2 to 10 mm in diameter. Chlorella contains a fibrous and indigestible outer shell and inner nutrients. The dried Chlorella contains about 45% protein, 20% fat, 20% carbohydrate, 5% fiber, and 10% minerals and vitamins. Therefore many people believe it is an attractive food source because it is high in protein and other essential nutrients. More importantly many of its health benefits have been discovered by researchers around the world.
Hemp seeds are popular healthy food as it is very rich in nutrients such as omega fatty acids, amino acids, and minerals. About 35 percent of hempseeds content is oil. The hemp seed oil contains 80% essential fatty acids (EFAs), linoleic acid (LA, 50-70%), alpha-linolenic acid (ALA, 15?25%) and Gamma-Linolenic_acid (GLA, 1?6%). The balance of linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid in hempseed oil can satisfy our needs for
EFAs very well. Both the complete protein and the essential oils contained in hemp seeds are in ideal ratios for human nutrition. Bee Pollen is the male seed of flowers, consisting of micro-gametophytes (pollen grains). The pollen grain with its hard coat protects the sperm cells during the process of their movement between the stamens of the flower to the pistil of the next flower. Each pollen grain contains vegetative cells (only one in most flowering plants but several in other seed plants), a generative cell containing a tube nucleus (that produces the pollen tube), and a generative nucleus (that divides to form the two sperm cells). The group of cells is surrounded by a cellulose cell wall and a thick, tough outer wall made of sporopollenin.
