Honest to Goodness Organic Blue Spirulina Powder 70g

The term "phycocyanin" is derived from the Greek words phyco (algae) and cyanin (blue-green). It is a natural blue pigment extracted from specific species of blue-green algae, particularly Arthrospira platensis, commonly known as Spirulina. Not only just a striking vibrant blue colour, phycocyanin is the primary active compound in spirulina and is a powerful antioxidant which helps protect cells against oxidative stress. Studies have also shown it exhibits anti-inflammatory effects, potentially reducing inflammation in the body. The presence of phycocyanin is the distinguishing factor between Spirulina and other Green Superfoods. The primary difference between Blue Spirulina and Green Spirulina is their pigment composition. Blue Spirulina derives its intense blue colour from the phycocyanin pigment, which is a blue pigment with antioxidant properties. Green Spirulina gets its green colour from a combination of chlorophyll (green pigment) and other pigments. Blue Spirulina has a more neutral flavour than regular Spirulina (no fishy tastes!), which makes it a perfect healthy and natural alternative to artificial food colouring and additives. From vibrant smoothie bowls and baked goods to refreshing beverages, blue spirulina opens up a world of creativity for culinary enthusiasts while also contributing to your overall wellbeing!
