Top 21 Most Annoying Hollywood Food Trends
13. Spirulina
Spirulina is a dark green algae that is usually sold and consumed as a powder that can be added to dishes, smoothies and juices. It has been in hype for many years now and, judging from the L.A. health food community, it is not going anywhere.The reason for spirulina’s popularity is that it is packed with protein. Just one ounce of it equals to 15 grams of pure protein, which, again, equals two large eggs or three smaller ones.
Because of this, spirulina is very valuable (and hence very popular) among vegans, who have to look for sources of protein outside of meat, fish, eggs and dairy.Spirulina is also very high in iron and in beta carotene, a potent antioxidant.
The only problem with this superfood is that it does not taste good. In fact, many people avoid it just because of that. However, you can always disguise its taste with other, more delicious food.
