Elevate your meals with an added element of greens! We love this Extra Green Chlorella Pesto Recipe because it adds flavor and nutrients to savory meals. This healthy recipe features our Chlorella Manna™ powder, which is an incredible source of full-spectrum, bioavailable, absorbable nutrients and compounds.

Chlorella is a freshwater, single-celled green alga and is one of the richest known sources of chlorophyll, which accounts for its deep green color. Our chlorella is grown outdoors in Taiwan and processed using a vacuum pressure differential method to ensure thorough cell wall breakage for digestibility.

Chlorella is 50–60% protein (by weight) and is a complete protein source, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids.
