Spirulina is an alga with high nutritional content that has been used as a food source since ancient times. It is a whole product of biological origins and consists of dried cyanobacterium Arthrospira biomasses which are filamentous microscopic organisms that occur abundantly in an almost uni-algal form in highly alkaline lakes. The high pH and alkalinity prevent other algae from growing, so it is effectively grown outdoors, free from cross-contamination by other algae.
