algaeI would like to write a seperate article about one of the foods that have all essential, and even some non essential amino acids: green blue algae.
If the body does not receive sufficient acids, certain body tissues are cannibalized, often causing such problems as  premature aging, memory loss, poor intellectual performance and even depression. Blue-green algae contain all of the essential amino acids as well as most of the non essential amino acids, making them a complete protein supplement.

Amino acids also form protein molecules called neuropeptides, which transmit  information between the brain and nerve cells and throughout the body. A weakness in these 'electric signals' may promote disease.
Amino acids help repair, rebuild, and strengthen neuropeptides  so that the brain's neurons can function optimally.
In addition, the amino acids found in blue-green algae are of low molecular weight, which means that the molecules are small enough to pass through the blood-brain barrier. The blood-brain barrier is a feature of the nervous system that prevents bacteria, chemicals, and other harmful substances from entering the brain. Neuropeptides made from the amino acids in blue-green algae pass easily through this filtering mechanism into the brain. 
As a result, some of the first effects of blue-green algae reported by many people who take it are increased mental alertness, improved memory, and the ability to communicate more clearly; for this reason it has often been called a 'brain food'.

As those algae (e.g. Spirulina) are so rich, you need only a very small quality every day to garantee your minimal intake in amino acids.
