What Is Spirulina

Spirulina is a microscopic freshwater algae, so 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 Pigments

Spirulina’s deep, dark green-blue colour comes from the colour pigments it contains, namely chlorophyll. This blue-green microalgae 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 a very rare blue colour pigment, phycocyanin.

History

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