Algae as an Unexpected Meat Substitute and Sustainable Protein Source

"A recent study has shown that eating two of the most widely available algae species on the market provides young, healthy people with a high-protein diet that supports muscle rebuilding. According to their research, algae might offer an intriguing and long-term substitute for animal-derived protein in terms of helping people maintain and gain muscle.
According to University of Exeter researcher Ino Van Der Heijden, ""Our work has shown algae could become part of a secure and sustainable food future."" Growing numbers of people are attempting to reduce their meat consumption for moral and ecological reasons, which has increased interest in sustainably produced and non-animal sources of protein. We believe it's important and necessary to start looking into these alternatives and we've identified algae as a promising novel protein source."
