What Is Blue Spirulina Powder?

Blue Spirulina Powder is a natural blue pigment extracted from spirulina (Arthrospira platensis), a nutrient-rich blue-green microalgae. Unlike whole spirulina, which has a green color and a distinct earthy taste, blue spirulina contains primarily phycocyanin—the powerful blue protein pigment responsible for spirulina's vibrant color. The chlorophyll and most of the green pigments are removed during extraction, resulting in a bright blue powder with a milder flavor.

Blue spirulina powder is highly valued for its antioxidant properties, natural coloring ability, and versatility in food, beverage, dietary supplement, and cosmetic applications. It is commonly used to create visually appealing products such as smoothies, protein shakes, gummies, ice cream, yogurt, confectionery, baked goods, and functional beverages without the use of artificial colorants.

• Rich source of natural antioxidants
