To create a seasoning with tangible health benefits, it’s essential to pack a nutritional punch, even in small doses. It is also important to find ingredients that work together to create what is called a synergistic effect, which means when combined the ingredients are more beneficial than if they were used alone. Spirulina is nutrient-dense and packed with complete protein, essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, offering a wide range of health benefits. While relatively new to the Western diet, spirulina has been used for centuries, particularly by the Aztecs, who valued it for its energy-boosting and recovery properties.
Despite its nutritional advantages, spirulina’s fishy taste and unique smell can be off-putting. It is also more expensive than ingredients normally used in seasoning. These are the main reasons you seldom see spirulina in commercial seasonings. We tried blending spirulina with many other common seasoning ingredients nothing worked well. We could mask the taste and smell with other ingredients but always ended up with such a small amount of spirulina in the mix that it was not effective in delivering the benefits of the superfood spirulina.
Turns out everything old is new again. 400 years ago, the Aztecs ground locally grown chili peppers, mixed it with spirulina, and formed it into cakes. These cakes tasted really good, the chili powder smoothing out the taste and smell of the spirulina. Chilies also have some properties that may enhance the health benefits of spirulina. Using the ancestors of those same mild, flavorful chili, we were able to create a seasoning that tasted great and delivered all the benefits of the spirulina.

Strict Organic Standards: Organic farming adheres to stringent regulations that prohibit the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. These restrictions necessitate more labor-intensive methods for pest control and soil management, driving up production costs.
Smaller Yields: Organic farming typically produces lower yields compared to conventional agriculture. This is because organic practices often prioritize soil health and biodiversity, which may lead to slightly reduced crop yields. The lower yields translate into higher costs per unit of product.

Our family loves Healthful Original Seasoning. We use it on most dinners and it seems to make everything taste a little better.
We also love the fact that we finally found a healthy alternate to supermarket seasoning.
Superfoods, have a long proven record of health benefits. I believe that even in the small quantities you get with seasoning, it is helpful. I really love it on scrambled eggs first thing in the morning. Great way to start the day!
The best all purpose seasoning I have tried. Taste is great. I use Healthful Hot for meats and chicken and the Original for everything else.
My wife thinks I’ve become a master chef overnight Lol
