Description

Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) is a microscopic filamentous cyanobacterium renowned for its exceptional nutritional density and brilliant blue-green color. Cultivated in controlled aquatic environments under abundant sunlight and rich minerals, it undergoes a meticulous process:
1.Harvesting – Fresh spirulina biomass is filtered from water under hygienic conditions.
2.Drying – Spray-dried at low temperature to preserve nutrients and natural pigments.
3.Sieving & Sterilization – Passed through ultra-fine 800-mesh sieves and sterilized to remove impurities.
4.Packaging – Sealed immediately to retain freshness and prevent oxidation.
The result is a premium-grade natural spirulina powder with a smooth texture, pure color, and high nutrient retention.
