Claim:
A method for producing a chlorella fermented food, comprising the steps of: providing a chlorella that is negative in coliform bacteria count, that has a content of free pheophorbide equal to or less than 18 mg %, and that has a viable general bacteria count equal to or less than 8000 cfu/mL to provide a select chlorella to be fermented; and fermenting said chlorella to be fermented with from 0.5 to 5.0% by weight, based on weight of the chlorella , of a baker's yeast to provide the chlorella fermented food, wherein the chlorella has a moisture content during fermenting of 30 to 55% by weight, and wherein fermenting takes place in the presence of a lactic acid bacterium so that baker's yeast fermentation and lactic acid fermentation are performed simultaneously.
