To use, start with a small amount, such as half a teaspoon, and gradually increase as desired. It can be mixed directly into water, juice, or milk. For a smoother texture, blend it into smoothies with fruits and vegetables. It can also be stirred into yogurt, oatmeal, or salad dressings. When baking, consider adding it to pancake or waffle batters for a colorful and nutrient-rich twist. Its flavor is mild and can be masked by other ingredients.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other green powders, spirulina has a distinct, slightly earthy flavor and a deep blue-green hue. Its unique composition of nutrients sets it apart from common leafy greens or other algae-based supplements. The powder form is more concentrated than fresh spirulina.
