How Spirulina Is Made

How Spirulina Is Madeの注目ポイントを分かりやすくまとめてご紹介します。

After 7 to 10 days, the pond looks like a giant’s melted slushie. Now comes the fun part: harvesting. Farmers use fine mesh screens or filters to strain the spirulina from the water. It’s like making coffee, but instead of waking you up, it makes you feel superior about your health choices.

The wet, algae goo gets pumped into a drying machine. Most farms use spray drying or freeze drying to turn that goo into a fine powder. Spray drying blasts it with hot air; freeze drying keeps it super gentle for delicate nutrients.

And yes, all that drying happens fast—within seconds or minutes—to lock in the good stuff. No one wants soggy, sad spirulina.

The Tablet Shuffle

If you buy spirulina in tablet form, here’s where the magic happens. The dried powder is compressed into little pills using a machine that’s basically a tiny hydraulic press. No binders, no glue—just pure algae love.

Some brands add silica as a flow agent (to keep the powder from clumping), but many go 100% pure. Check the label—if you see “microcrystalline cellulose,” that’s just a fancy word for plant fiber. It’s fine.

And no, they don’t add any weird colors. The intense green is all natural—it’s basically algae’s flex.
