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.

Heat Sensitivity
Blue Spirulina is naturally heat sensitive, as this is a property of phycocyanin.
• high temperatures reduce color intensity
• prolonged heating may fade the blue tone
For optimal color:
• use in cold applications
• or apply in low-temperature recipes

Spirulina has been used as a source of nutrition for centuries, including by the Aztecs in South America and communities around Lake Chad in Africa.
Blue Spirulina represents a modern application of this traditional ingredient, where the natural blue pigment is extracted and used in contemporary food and beverage creations.
Today, it is widely used in gastronomy, specialty cafés, and creative kitchens where visual presentation is an essential part of the experience.
This product is a natural coloring ingredient, not a medicine.

ALLERGEN NOTICE
Although Blue Spirulina is naturally free from common allergens by composition, individual sensitivity may occur. We recommend starting with a small amount.
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.
