The benefits of spirulina have been widely recognized in the fields of cosmetics, food and health.This is a natural thing because research proves that spirulina contains various antioxidants and nutrients that are beneficial for the body and brain.What exactly is spirulina?Spirulina is an organism that grows in both marine and fresh water.These organisms belong to a family of single-celled microbes known as blue-green algae.These tiny algae contain a variety of important nutrients.One tablespoon of powdered spirulina contains 4 grams of protein, 20 calories and 1.7 grams of carbohydrates.Spirulina also contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, copper and iron.Many nutritionists recommend adding spirulina to your daily diet for maximum health benefits.Research by experts from the Center for Coastal and Ocean Resources Studies (PKSPL) Bogor Agricultural University has recently succeeded in making spirulina-based products, including noodles, biscuits, jelly drinks, cookies, yogurt, and so on.For people who want to get the health benefits of Spirulina, it never hurts to try consuming instant noodles with Spirulina fortification.Fortification is the addition of micronutrients to food.Besides being able to enjoy the deliciousness of a bowl of noodles, you can also feel the benefits of the Spirulina content, especially as an antioxidant and anticancer.In the market today, there are not many instant noodles with spirulina fortification.One that has been circulating and has obtained a permit and certificate from the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM) is the Nasamie brand which is produced by PT Natural Nusantara (NASA).According to PR & BDS Manager of PT Natural Nusantara Joni Riyanto, this instant noodle made from Spirulina has also been certified Halal MUI and is also made without 3P + 1A, namely without preservatives, flavor enhancers, synthetic dyes, and without synthetic antioxidants, so it can be consumed from children. until adulthood.Another advantage of Nasamie is the addition of mocaf flour.Mocaf flour or modified cassava flour is cassava flour that is modified by fermentation."This can increase the nutritional content of mocaf flour, such as being rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals," said Joni.In addition, the texture of the flour also becomes softer so it can be an alternative substitute for wheat flour.Well, the basic difference between these two flours is that besides wheat, it comes from wheat which contains gluten, while mocaf flour does not contain gluten, so it is safe for consumption by people with gluten intolerance."With the addition of mocaf in Nasamie, it makes it different from other instant noodles in general," said Joni.Joni said that Nasamie now has four flavor variants, namely: Fried Nasamie, Soto-Flavored Sauce Nasamie, Onion Chicken Flavored Nasamie, and Chicken Curry Flavored Nasamie with pocket-friendly prices.You must be logged in to post a comment.Get the most out of SWA by signing in to your accountOr select your favorite social network to get started
