Turn it into a protein powder, and you have a winner. Most protein powders aren't complete proteins. But if algae is, it stands to reason that it can replace many of the soy-based protein powders on the market.
They never said it was a complete protein, they said it has all the essential amino acids, only 6 out of the 21 amino acids are considered essential. Although having all the essential ones is helpful.
yeah why not let him have it his own way he definitely though about the future of everyone unlike Thor who thinks only about his own kind it's a 50/50 gamble
Great information! This addresses the concern of mine that affects everyone. I’ve watched Cowspiracy on Netflix, and it opened my eyes about the biggest environmental threat related to our food system. It’s a must watch!
Well, if you follow protocol, edible varieties of seaweed (algae of the sea, in Spanish) can be like spinach, etc. People that are unwilling to eat it still need enough iodine for endocrine health (e.g. thyroid gland), so the U.S. government ensures that almost all table salts contain iodine.
honestly, I hope stuff like this does become everyday food, as the problem with livestock using so much of our resources (AND vegetables/fruits) has become such a huge problem
I feel like a problem would be that while this could serve as a way to make food healthier, it’s not going to drive out larger types of agriculture/ food cultivation. People are still going to want their variety of different food options and the algae farms are just providing another variety to food ,not solving the issue of resource overuse. It’s also possible that this could ironically could end up contributing to the issue a small amount as well.
I would eat it as some sort of veggie, not just supplement. I love wakame and hijiki seaweed salad, so I bet I would enjoy meals that include algae in a clever way. But as of now, it's expensive to get these things in middle Europe which is sad. It's the future that can't come soon enough.
And then you get microplastics because it all needs to be sitting in the sun and the suns rays can have enough energy to break the covalent bonds in plastics
Being able to grow productively in ocean water is a big selling point. It would probably do very well in competition for desert growth real estate. The strain of Spirulina that I developed for norther growing in winter can grow in ocean water, and we use evaporated seawater as part of it's nutritional needs, but it doesn't do as well in ocean water as it does it fresh water. Of course, we can also fully recycle our water usage, and by covering the tanks we don't have losses due to evaporation. (Spirulina, btw, is a cyanobacteria. Not an algae. That gives it an advantage over algae, which cannot be fully digested without processing due to it's cellulose based cell walls. Another advantage is that algae cannot be legally grown in most US cities. It's also 65% protein, and likewise has all the nutrients humans need, except for Vitamin D)
Just as long as someone(s) clean the algae in our ponds, rivers, lakes, oceans in the United States Makes this action quick meaning right now " we the people " do not want this floating any of our public waters Thank you very much
Well humans have been eating seaweeds and so on for generations so it's not a surprise. Also, hydroponics is a real technology we are researching towards.
@@jackrush1222 evolution is nonsense. The whole logic is that nothing became something then exploded and everything then things changed and progressed over millions of years and now we're human. That's nonsense. There's a creator, that makes much more sense then nothing created everything. People often pose the question, then what or who may God? Well God always has been and always will be. He's the infinite.
I'm surprised the ponds aren't fully enclosed, considering the water is being recycled and is in the desert, and there is a chance of infection with wild types that produce bmaa
If you've eaten sushi then the seaweed wrap is made out of algea, in truth we've probably eaten the stuff longer than you'd think it's just that we've never scaled up usage of it until recently.
It will be a supplement to our current food....IE real food will be for the rich Algae will be for everyone else. Crops and cattle will have reduce production after algae takes off for environmental reasons. Then it will become extremely expensive so no one but the rich can afford it. Forcing others to pay for algae at the same cost regular food is today. Even though they will in the beginning promote it being a cheap alternative especially for the poor.
That’s actually one of the more clean vegetables. Think about it. Potatoes are literally glops of plant we eat from the ground. We already eat bugs in some parts of the world, and I mean, considering all the pesticides and GMO we use this isn’t that bad.
Use Pre-Flood environmental conditions and you can use just a fraction of the total land area. We have other technologies that were discovered in the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. By combing them all together in a integrated system to produce a synergistic process we were able to mass produce edible food micro-algae by the hundreds of metric tons per day with just one unit inside a small warehouse.
What about the safety of trying algae, is the sea water even filtered and treated, can the algae cause infections and weaken our immune system, what about the open platform of this algae farm; any dust or impurity can join in the food, i think this is not going to end up well.
Maybe you can make algae into flour or maybe you can use it for coloring things such as pie crust pizza dough and more? Maybe you can even substitute it for spaghetti and meat sauce?!?
blue-green algea is the answer to almost all issues humanity has right now (it consumes CO2 and turns it into protein,nutrients,vitamins,minerals,fuels and plastics....it has mad skills)
Now all we need is nutrient paste dispensers and with a few combinations, we can have *ahem nutritious slop all day everyday :D Could algae be used in a paper form to act as a wrapper instead of seaweed for sushi? Its saltiness would complement the rice and sushi ingredients.
They claim they are "farming" microalgae, seemingly at a largescale, yet their Omega 3 DHA and EPA supplements are double or quadruple the cost, per dose compared to Fish based supplements. which is really unfortunate for me as a vegan.
Blue spirulina high protein algae I looked into this back in 1985 glad to see this man carried on what I researched protein supplement pills as well as a fuel resource this topology can be powdered and used in anything from cat in animal feed livestock feed people feed good to see people finally working smart feed the world
I've tried that burger which is sold by a popular fast food chain, "beyond".. I could not tell the difference between that particular plant derived ground beef substitute, and real beef burger. If it can be done using plant material, the next step would be to find algae that could be used as the source material. The idea is to find algae which can be used to duplicate or closely approximate popular meats, which can be grown in space. There is presently food producing technology which is able to manufacture an alternative or substitute chicken meat using wheat gluten, which seems to be successful, in terms of food marketability. When space industry evolves, it would be nice for in-space workers and space tourists etc to be able to consume foods produced in-space, yet are indistinguishable from the real meat foods back on Earth..
Many of us are aware of the high lipid/hydrocarbon (energy/fuel) algae research.. That also has great in-space potential..Space industries will need fuels, in addition to in-space produced hydrogen and oxygen. Fuel algae may also be found to grow in space, as another in-space industry.
For every job created in-space, there may be as many as 10 (or more!) created on land (all labor types) which support or facilitate that one in-space job.

MisterZ3r0 for sure bro
Soy based protein ??? You clearly do not not the market.
MisterZ3r0 soy sucks.....you are correct Mister
I'd buy it!

Here's a small loan of a million dollar 💵💸 *ENJOY!*
Me too
Vegans go insane seeing this video.
Technically algae isn't a plant but it isn't an animal either
@@lizardzilla teachnically its an alternative.
who can blame us, this is pretty awsome!
lizard zilla vegans eat everything but animals. It doesnt matter if its not a plant. As long as its not alive
Vee ٓ i eat paper
I'm a little upset at the very limited use case they showed here, would be nice if they found more and better ways to use it than pills and cookies...
Lmao, they are standing on the food of the future so that means we have another kind of foot lettuce
I'd give it a shot
Or we can let Thanos get all the infinity stones💀💀💀

imhungry208 wow thanks for spoiling it
Big Hoss he didnt really spoil anything
imhungry208 true
yeah why not let him have it his own way he definitely though about the future of everyone unlike Thor who thinks only about his own kind it's a 50/50 gamble
Even if humans don't eat it it can still be used for livestock feed or other industrial products like amino acids, biodiesel
is the future the future of the future?
90days dude I’m SOOOO ANGRY THAT IM LAUGHING SOOO HARD ! 😂😂😂
90days Lmao
77tele yes yez it is
The future is the future of the future because of the future
But isn't future the past of the future of the previous future ??
Monty Green from the 100 would be proud
Was thinking the whole time about it hahaha
The future is near
Don’t let Octavia near this
RIP monty
i waas about to comment :D
we stan a green queen
So your telling me that someone looked at algae and said man that looks good to eat/drink...
it's already present in tons of foods you eat
Becoming Vincent what...
Is there a type of food they use it on or is it at the point where it's pretty much what ever you eat it's in there
No
alex miranda Yes. Humans have been eating it for a long time. Seaweed found in sushi is just another strain of algea
Isnt it better to feed the animals this and we eat the animals
This is what Monty dreamed of.

The best series i have ever watched!
"Do better..."

exactly why i'm here
Make algea not war.
I've been eating this (and products from blue-green algea) for over a decade now...since 2009 - still alive and kicking ;)
Aztecs where eating Spirulina grown from their lakes they lived on. It was a self sustaining city of the future, from the past.
Soylent Green.
It begins!
It's people
No.... It's not people... It's algae. ? .... Could I have some people please?
Gerardo Davila No I didn't. But I do talk to myself on occasion so give it some time.
I was trying to find a comment about Soylent Green!

i think iodine in salt is a worldwide norm , not just u.s.
Not all Microalgae need to be from saltwater variant, freshwater variant do exist
honestly, I hope stuff like this does become everyday food, as the problem with livestock using so much of our resources (AND vegetables/fruits) has become such a huge problem
It's a prototype for Monty's algae

Wait did I hear the word aquifer? Thats not totally sustainable then
And have a look at 3:40 with all that salt water corroding all the metal
You've got a sharp eye. But I think the issue can be handled. Ships sail in oceans for thousands of kilometers. They don't rust right ?
The ships are painted and sometimes have sacrificial metals stuck on the hull. Probably dont want either of those in the food
why not use plastic for the inside of the tubes then?
And then you get microplastics because it all needs to be sitting in the sun and the suns rays can have enough energy to break the covalent bonds in plastics
how about instead of sunlight use those UV lights and put the algea inside
Mom: honey what do you want for dinner?!
Son: mama i want some algae
The only problem is making the Americans eat them😕

3:06 OMG REALLY!? NEVER KNEW THAT!!!
😂😂😂
girl:it tastes like a normal sugar cookie
man: i have been in the food business for 20 years.
haha
so since when has algae been considered a plant "crop"?
Since it’s been farmed.
Just as long as someone(s) clean the algae in our ponds, rivers, lakes, oceans in the United States
Makes this action quick meaning right now " we the people " do not want this floating any of our public waters
Thank you very much
Well humans have been eating seaweeds and so on for generations so it's not a surprise. Also, hydroponics is a real technology we are researching towards.
Thats already happening though:p its just that most farms havent followed the new way of farming
humans been seaweeds? please explain.
evolution..... I guess?

Algeas are such wonderful Allrounders!
From chair to salad, to powder and supplements - and clothings, too!
When will it be in grocery stores? What are the health benefits?
it already is, look up algea supplements
Me and my friend are having a project about algae and we were surprised to know more about it...... We are 12 years old.....
Wish us luck guys....
well... monty green says it is.
i was going to say that ):
you can take half the credit- monty green would have wanted us to
I’m so glad they put the algae into the cookies. Don’t think I would be able to stomach just the algae
Just feed it to cattle lol
Shopnil Cat but it doesnt solve the issue of land and water usage.
Don't forget the greenhouse gas
Factz you don't know how selective breeding works...do you?
lol
read about biomagnification. breeding cattle is wastefull
3:04 that laugh lol
mmm is the 100 starting?
I'm surprised the ponds aren't fully enclosed, considering the water is being recycled and is in the desert, and there is a chance of infection with wild types that produce bmaa
i hope not
Where can I buy thier stock?
Looks like a nuclear test site😂
Monty will love that algae farm
In the movie Matrix people were also eating some goop outside the Matrix. This is scary...
@ЕЛ_ Гертруде because it foreshadows the end of humanity
Yea that green goo looks very appealing to my taste
Vegans: *OH MY LORD*
Why tho? I've seen a number of these comments and I don't get it. What am I supposed to be mad about?
Are they public, can i buy stocks? If so what is the stock name
Im very down 👍
1:37 but what about evaporation and an increase in salt-levels?
Yes but can we digest it??
If we could, humans would have been eating it since we were apes!!
If you've eaten sushi then the seaweed wrap is made out of algea, in truth we've probably eaten the stuff longer than you'd think it's just that we've never scaled up usage of it until recently.
Ancient civilizations have all over the world consumed algae in some way shape or form.
You are already eating this since a long time...
Lots of plant are only cultivated recently by the way, this dont prove that you can't change your diet just because your ancestor never done that.
what a weird question btw we can digest meat why not an algae..?
Eatting seaweed everyday seem like a bad idea
The 100 :D
I'm just wondering how you cook it

How about going vegan? Easy and affordable..
THINK, this is the resource we need for that.
are you really gonna get butthurt over single cell organisms?
But less efficient that algea. Its all about efficiency!
and idiotic.
how about vegan steaks easy affordable cant run and all organic

god give me an algae mix mango juice, sounds good and amazing
It can also be used to feed animals. Not to mention its way several times more effective than trees at making oxygen
The problem is the sodium content in the algae, since it cultivated in salt water.
have they thought about vertical farming instead of using so many lands?
What about the safety of trying algae, is the sea water even filtered and treated, can the algae cause infections and weaken our immune system, what about the open platform of this algae farm; any dust or impurity can join in the food, i think this is not going to end up well.

isnt' Algae a byproduct of oxidation when there are organic microbes in the water i.e poop?
All that salt is rusting the tillers and metals around them is it safe to eat that much rust ?

Can algae been farmed indoors
Just search in youtube. The indor version uses different kind of algae that lives in fresh water. Still slimy green goo tho.
is it gluten free ?
can cheaper and healthier than rice?
“Mom can i have some algae nuggets?”
Looks like something that Casey Neistat will drink on a daily basis.
It doesn't look bad. I'd eat it. I can see it in a powder form that people just mix into their food for added protein. Sounds cool.
the new protein powder
Now all we need is nutrient paste dispensers and with a few combinations, we can have *ahem nutritious slop all day everyday :D
Could algae be used in a paper form to act as a wrapper instead of seaweed for sushi? Its saltiness would complement the rice and sushi ingredients.
What about every home owner with a garden has a small farm with chickens?
Thanks monty for the algae
what if you use this algae as a fertilizer for tastier more desirable crops?
Jusj Google iwi and you get a weapon industry😂
it would definitely taste like those green sushi wrappers
