Euglena

Have you ever heard of a microorganism called Euglena? I first found about this creature in the biology textbook in high school (in Japan). It is normally featured on its unique behavior that they can photosynthesize to create energy by themselves, although they belong to animal group. But its great potential to contribute to humans is found in recent study and people are looking forward for solving global malnutrition problem. Surprisingly, this small creature has all of the nutrition humans require, and there is an extreme opinion that humans can live healthy by only consuming Euglena. Projects have began to multiply Euglena, dry, make supplements, and provide those to countries where people are suffering from malnutrition. Those products are completely organic and there are no worries of unhealthy chemicals.You may be able to find these in health shops in near future.
