Blue Spirulina or Green? It's Time to Decide!

Our branding is based on green, so it might surprise you if you're convinced that spirulina, the single-celled algae, is also green. However, if you've seen it yourself, you can attest that its color resembles green but is far from the "classic green." So, what do you think? What is the actual color of this superfood algae? It's time to decide.

Color Decision Ahead: What is the True Color of Blue Spirulina?

People are divided into two groups: those convinced that spirulina is green and those specific that spirulina is blue. So, what is the correct answer? We won’t leave you in suspense and will tell you immediately that you’re correct, no matter your stance. The reason is that spirulina doesn’t have a distinct green/blue hue; instead, its color combines both. To understand what we mean, visit the spirulina pack page on our website and see its unique color, composed of the depth of blue and the gentle glow of green.

 

"Does the Color of Spirulina Indicate Its Quality?"

Absolutely: yes. Just as the color of the products in your pantry, refrigerator, and freezer indicates their quality, so does the color of spirulina. We strongly recommend giving immense importance to its color at the time of purchase and before each reuse. Generally, "foreign" shades in spirulina can result from the following reasons: 

• Improper storage and usage: For example, multiple thawing and freezing cycles.

• Processed product: It is not 100% spirulina, so its natural color cannot be expected.

• Expired product: Should not be consumed under any circumstances.

• Low-quality spirulina powder: Reminder: We only offer fresh spirulina with the most impressive values.

  

Not Just by Color: How to Choose Spirulina? 

Spirulina is rich in nutritional benefits and recommended for both young and old due to its tremendous effects on performance and health. Rest assured, if you want to incorporate it into your diet but are still determining the parameters to assess its quality. As long as blue and fresh spirulina meets the following conditions, you can purchase and consume it with peace of mind: 

• The product is made of 100% spirulina.

• The product is vegan and gluten-free (Good to know: spirulina is an excellent source of plant-based protein!). 

• It does not have a strong odor or a scent that repels you. The natural and proper smell of spirulina should be mildly neutral. 

• The product is ready to eat, requiring no preparation stages.

 

Good to Know: Besides fresh spirulina, you can buy tasty and nutritious products containing spirulina—from refreshing popsicles to high-quality meat substitutes.
