How can you use spirulina in cooking?
With its light marine flavour, spirulina can be incorporated into a variety of dishes, from smoothies and green juices to salads and even pasta. It is also used as a natural colouring to give foods a vibrant hue.
The history of spirulina
Spirulina has been consumed for centuries by Indigenous peoples around Lake Chad in Africa and by the Aztecs in Mexico, demonstrating its historical importance in human diets. Modern cultivation began in the 1960s, when its use as a food was rediscovered and popularised as a dietary supplement.
Ingredients:

Storage advice:
Place your spice in an airtight, opaque container and keep it away from moisture in a clean, dry place.
For a transparent container, follow the same advice and keep it in a drawer or cupboard to protect it from light.

China.
Flavour:
Spirulina adds a marine touch without significantly altering the flavour of dishes. Its unique, slightly salty taste reminiscent of the sea makes it ideal for complementing vegetarian and vegan recipes. It can be sprinkled over salads, blended into drinks or used in homemade energy bars.
