Euglena Foods Report

Summary

In recent years, euglena has been attracting attention as health foods. We decided to actually try eating euglena and give our impressions. We bought the food on the Euglena Co., Ltd. online shopping site, tried it in various ways, and discussed it.
※From the perspective of countermeasures against COVID-19, the meeting was held online. The arranged way of eating is based on the product website. （https://www.euglena.jp/karadani/）

Our Impressions

Watered

It smelled like matcha, green tea, and seaweed. It tasted like something between green juice and green tea, a little bitter and not very salty. After drinking it, the undissolved powder lingered on my tongue, leaving a bitter aftertaste.

With Hot Water

It looked like a green juice. As for the taste, I found it to be a little sour, like seafood.

With Milk

The color was a little greenish like in the picture, and it smelled like tea. As for the taste, I felt a slight sourness. I mixed it with milk and drank it, but the taste of milk was not so strong because of the euglena.

With Calpis

It smelled like regular Calpis and tasted like Calpis when I drank it, but it left a tea-like aftertaste. It also left a rough texture on my tongue from the powder that had not fully dissolved.

French Toast

As you can see in the picture, it looked dark green and smelled like seaweed. The base tasted like regular French toast, but it also had a green juice flavor like mentioned above.

Suiton

As a whole, it smelled like miso with a hint of green tea from the euglena. The paste with euglena was sweet, and the bitterness of euglena was slightly reduced. There was also a bit of green in the soup, but I could hardly taste the euglena.

Our Thoughts

We found it surprisingly not difficult to consume euglena every day in terms of what is good for us. It tastes like tea, and you can mix it with a variety of things without getting bored. We only tried these this time, however, you can create various other combinations such as yogurt, salad, etc. We felt that the price was a little high to continue taking it, but we hope that the price will come down as euglena becomes more and more popular.
