What is Blue Spirulina Powder?

Blue Spirulina Powder is a premium natural blue pigment extracted from spirulina algae. It contains phycocyanin, a highly valued antioxidant protein that gives spirulina its vibrant blue color. Unlike whole green spirulina, Blue Spirulina has a milder taste and aroma, making it an excellent ingredient for beverages, desserts, dietary supplements, confectionery, and other functional food products.

As consumer demand for clean-label and plant-based ingredients continues to grow, Blue Spirulina Powder has become one of the most popular natural alternatives to synthetic blue food colorings.
