The Aztecs first harvested this vitamin-rich, blue-green algae because of the availability and high nutritional value. Today, it still serves as a supplement to our diets, which researchers are classifying as a "super-food" with pills, cakes, drinks and powder forms sold worldwide. We add it to our green smoothie.
