ORGANIC Spirulina Powder

Spirulina is a cyanobacteria, colloquially known as "blue-green algae". The fact that Spirulina is a cyanobacterium 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 colour. The algae are native to shallow, salty waters, especially in Central America, Southeast Asia, Africa and Australia. It has always been used as a food by the people who live there and is increasingly becoming a superfood in Europe. Today Spirulina is particularly popular with health conscious people and athletes.

Certified organic spirulina algae are gently dried and finely ground to make our spirulina powder. The powder gets its intense green-blue colour from the chlorophyll in the algae. This natural pigment is produced by the plants to convert absorbed light into energy. The powder contains no colouring, additives or preservatives.
