A vibrant natural blue pigment from spirulina – pure color, neutral taste, endless creative possibilities.
What Makes Blue Spirulina Different?
Blue Spirulina is not whole spirulina powder. It is a refined extract where the blue pigment (phycocyanin) is separated from the green biomass.
This results in a product that:
• provides a clean, ocean-blue color
• has no strong algae taste or odor
• dissolves easily in liquids
• integrates smoothly into both beverages and desserts
Because of this, it is widely used in specialty cafés, dessert kitchens, and creative food concepts where color plays a central role.

SUMMARY
Blue Spirulina powder is a natural blue food coloring made from spirulina extract (phycocyanin). It is commonly used in drinks and desserts for its vibrant color and neutral taste. Due to its heat sensitivity, it performs best in cold or low-temperature applications.
Vegan & Additive-Free
Our blue spirulina is carefully extracted without using animal-based carriers or synthetic enhancers. It contains no E-numbers, preservatives or artificial stabilizers – only the pure essence of the algae.
Ideal for vegan, clean-label, and allergen-conscious recipes.
Blue Spirulina is a vibrant addition to countless recipes – both sweet and savory. Add just a pinch to your smoothies, lattes, yogurts, or raw treats for an intense blue hue. It also blends beautifully into frostings, icings, chia puddings, energy balls, or vegan cheesecakes.
For best results, mix the powder into a small amount of liquid first, to avoid clumping – especially in cold recipes. A little goes a long way: start with 1/2 tsp per portion, and adjust based on color intensity.
