Algae have been used in the food industry for many years, and even before commercializing. These are a few algae used as or in foods:
Spirulina, which is widely recognized as a superfood is an algae which is used as food. It is generally used as a dietary supplement or by astronauts for its high nutritional values.
Agar-agar is a macroalgae used in food (gelling agent).
Nori, a type of seaweed which you might recognize from sushis, is a red algae as well.
Kelp, another type of seaweed, is also used as food. It's highly nutritious too.
Chlorella is a superfood, similar to spirulina, and is also a green algae.
Wakame, a sweet seaweed generally used in soups, is also an algae.
