As one of the planet's oldest and most prolific organisms, having thrived for over 2 billion years, the tiny green microalgae known as chlorella can be naturally found in various aquatic and terrestrial environments worldwide. While commercially sourced chlorella is typically cultivated under controlled conditions to ensure purity and nutritional density, its wild counterparts thrive in freshwater lakes, rivers, and even soil.

First discovered in the 19th century, chlorella is a microscopic green alga that has existed on Earth for over 2.5 billion years. This ancient organism thrives in a natural, nutrient-rich environment, relying on one of the planet's most fundamental processes for survival and reproduction.

Over 600 species of yam exist globally, yet the one commonly known as 'wild yam' (Dioscorea villosa) has a specific and important native range. Where do wild yams grow?
