About this product
What is spirulina powder?
Spirulina is a microscopic blue-green alga (Arthrospira platensis) that has been eaten for centuries. Ours is cultivated in freshwater pools, harvested and dried into a powder that is around two-thirds protein by weight. It is one of the most concentrated greens we sell, so it is used in small amounts.
How it is made
The alga is farmed in pools with carbon dioxide applied to support growth, harvested with a mesh screen, wetted and spray-dried, then ground, sieved to 120 mesh, blended, passed through metal detection and packed.
What it tastes like
Earthy and distinctly marine, with a savoury depth that some people love immediately and others prefer to blend. The colour is a very dark green that turns anything it touches the same shade.
How to use spirulina powder
Add 3 to 5 g a day to a smoothie, juice or shaker with fruit to balance the flavour. Banana, pineapple and citrus all work well with it. It can also be stirred into energy balls, dips and savoury dressings. Please consult your doctor before taking any nutrient-dense product.
