Spirulina Powder (Blue-Green Algae)

Spirulina Powder (Blue-Green Algae) is a powdered blue‑green algae commonly used as a dietary supplement and natural green/blue‑green food coloring in smoothies, health foods and some culinary applications. It is typically sold as a concentrated superfood powder and used in small amounts rather than as a bulk ingredient. As a food ingredient, Spirulina Powder (Blue-Green Algae) is an unusually concentrated plant source of protein, providing about 57g of protein per 100g; it also supplies B‑vitamins and minerals such as copper in notable amounts. Because it is so nutrient‑dense, only small servings are needed to boost protein, micronutrients and color. Nutritionally it’s prized for a high‑quality amino acid profile and antioxidant pigments (notably phycocyanin and carotenoids) that contribute anti‑inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Its concentrated nature makes it a nutrient‑dense supplement rather than a staple food, so people typically add it sparingly to recipes or drinks.
