Dharmafly

I don’t think I ever had anything more disgusting for breakfast. Pretty sure it wasn’t the MyMuesli.

A little pot of spirulina crunchies, small enough to put in your pocket and carry around with you. Then when you feel that you might be asked for a breath mint, you can pop them out and funk with people’s heads.

Spirulina? It’s this weird dietary supplement thing that Premasagar gave everyone a box of at BarCampBrighton3. It’s an acquired taste. When I first had some, I felt like I was about to vomit, but I seem to be increasing my affection for it.

According to the leaflet that comes with it, 10 grams of the stuff gives you a couple of times the recommended daily amount of vitamins A, D, K and B12 (B12 being the vitamin that vegetarians like myself often need to supplement with - Marmite and other yeast extract products being another good source of B12), as well as Beta Carotene and a whole load of minerals, and ship loads of proteins. I’m not sure I could eat 10g a day, but I’m becoming strangely addicted to it.

Premasagar may have to show me exactly where he buys all his hippie food. I kinda like it, and, damn, it is much better health-wise than all the rubbish I eat.

On the right, a box of greenest Dharmafly Crunchies. (More views here). It’s sun-dried spirulina from Auroville.

The funky box was designed by AtomicShed and word-woven by Ellen de Vries.

The “May Contain Traces of Love” is from a self-inking rubber stamp.
