Customer Favourite

Spirulina is one of Foodin’s most popular green products, and for good reason! It is an exceptionally high-quality and versatile staple among green powders. Spirulina powder has received particular praise for its versatility, handy usability and good shelf life. Our selection also includes spirulina in convenient pressed tablets, which contain 100 % of the same powder pressed together, with no fillers or binders. Thanks to their small size, the tablets are easy to swallow and travel conveniently with you.

Choosing the Package Size

If you use larger amounts of spirulina powder on a regular basis, choose this larger 300 g package size. If you use smaller amounts of spirulina, we recommend choosing the smaller 120-gram spirulina powder package.

What Spirulina Is

Spirulina is a microscopic freshwater alga, not a seaweed. Spirulina grows quickly, which makes its production extremely efficient, and no environmentally burdening pesticides or chemicals are needed to produce it.

Colour and Structure

Spirulina’s deep, dark green-blue colour comes from the colour pigments it contains, namely chlorophyll. This blue-green microalga has a spiral-shaped structure, which is naturally where the name spirulina comes from. Spirulina’s strong blue-green colour comes from its rich chlorophyll content as well as from an extremely rare blue colour pigment, phycocyanin.

History

Historically, two civilisations are known to have consumed spirulina in abundance: the people who lived in the Mexico City area of Central America, and the peoples who lived in the Lake Chad region of Africa. Spirulina has existed on Earth practically ever since there has been life here.

How to Use

Use: Enjoy spirulina powder in a liquid such as water or juice, or in a fruity smoothie. At first, the taste of greens and microalgae feels far too strong to many. To soften the bitter taste, we warmly recommend citrus fruits, such as lemon juice. An acidic element balances bitter green flavours brilliantly. Always combine green powders and tablets with good oils and/or fats as well, such as quality olive oil. Fat also masks the taste and improves the absorption of fat-soluble compounds.
