What is Chlorella?

Chlorella, a genus of single-celled microalgae, was first seen as a promising primary food source following the uncontrollable population growth of the late 1940s and early 1950s – but was too difficult to be produced in mass quantities. Today, chlorella is considered a superfood, and is the most popularly used health supplement in Japan, where it is used even more commonly than vitamin C is in western culture.
