Spirulina is a cyanobacteria, also known colloquially as "blue-green algae". The fact that spirulina is a cyanobacteria was only discovered after it was classified as an algae. The term "algae" has remained in common usage.
Spirulina has a dark green to blue-green color. The algae are native to shallow waters with a high salt content, especially in Central America, Southeast Asia, Africa and Australia. They have always been used as food by the people living there and are increasingly becoming a superfood in Europe too. Today, spirulina is particularly popular with health-conscious people and athletes.
Spirulina algae from controlled organic cultivation are gently dried and finely ground for our spirulina powder. The powder gets its intense green-blue color from the chlorophyll contained in the algae. The natural colorant is produced by the plants to convert the absorbed light into energy. The powder contains no colorants, additives or preservatives.
Reason for the name: Spiral growth
