Early research focused on <a href="/wiki/Chlorella" title="Chlorella">chlorella</a> but its cellular structure was too small to be collected without expensive centrifuges. However, in 1967, while Dr Nakamura was living at Centre House, they discovered that women at <a href="/wiki/Lake_Chad" title="Lake Chad">Lake Chad</a> were harvesting an algae in baskets to make dihé, a highly nutritious sun-baked biscuit.
