What is Spirulina? Where does it come from?

Our Spirulina is a blue-green algae that grows in open channels, shallow waters and man-made waterway ponds. Propellers move water to speed up growth, while growers keep adding clean, fresh water and nutrients to the pond to keep Spirulina thriving. After preparation, use filter to harvest spirulina, wash with fresh water, and then spray dry. Our Spirulina is non-irradiated and non-genetically modified.
