Starwest Botanicals Spirulina Powder Organic - Dried Blue Green Algae Superfood, Source of Protein, Use in Juice & Smoothies, Certified Kosher, Non-GMO - Bulk 1 lb Bag

This is the first time I tried this brand. I mix it in our smoothies when my son was younger we mix it in his milk. The quality is very good. It has rich color. It doesn’t upset our stomach you do have to get used to the slight odor which is very light at first. I ordered the size because I use it every day.

Another great product that you can purchase using EBT. If you're health conscious, but you're also on a tight budget, and/or need to use Ebt, this is the go to for spirulina. It makes a great food coloring, and good for smoothies. I've bag last a very long time because you only use a teaspoon or less.

I use a lot of spirulina in my cooking because of the low calorie, high protein content, as well as the minerals and other micro nutrients. It's also very sustainable, raised in tanks that don't pollute. This is a great way to get it affordably.I recommend shaking down the package BEFORE cutting it open. Spirulina is a fine powder that gets everywhere when spilled, and it can stain badly. I carefully cut the top off and spoon it into a quart jar. Sometimes I slowly pour it, but only with a funnel to avoid spills.No real flavor at all, I use about 1 teaspoon-1 tablespoon per serving of hot cereal, omelette, smoothie, etc. I even put it in my pumpkin bread!

Taste sucks. I mix it with fruit. But it makes my skin so nice. I have energy. I haven’t made it in five days and I feel the difference which is what sparked the review. Drop the powder in on a DRY spoon. Do not - mix it with the spoon. It clumps bad and sticks to it like glue. Mix your fruit first. Have it blended and add the spirulina ensuring you don’t wet that spoon lol. I try to get the powder in the middle and fold the fruit mix over the spirulina so when I mix it - it does not poof everywhere lol. It works wonderfully as a mask too! Be prepared for a bright green face! Where old clothes when you do it! Works wonders on rashes too.

I received this with Christmas presents I ordered as well, the postman brought it in a plastic bag expla ining that there was a dark powder leaking from it. The whole bag of spirulina exploded, they didn't even pack it in a separate bag in case of puncture. What a mess, I cleaned off the books and toys as best I could but there was only half a bag or less left. I can't return in because it was such a mess at the time I threw it and the box away not realizing I'd have to return the damaged item to get it replaced so now it's too late! My fault but also the shipment should have been packaged better!!

I have been a Vegan, for a very long time way before it was considered trendy or cool. I don't eat salt causing me to have HYPOTENSION=(low blood pressure). One daily serving offers me iron and iodine I also suffered from a protein deficiency, from my lack of proper amino acid in the early years of Veganism daily allowance. Every day I look forward to consuming one tablespoon of Spirulina powder. I have purchased several brands of organic and standard products. THEY ALL LEFT ME WITH A FISHY AFTERTASTE. STARWEST IS THE GOLDEN ONE. I mix mine with 4 oz of mango juice and 4 oz of pineapple juice. What a delicious threesome combination of flavors, guaranteed to leave you with a green mustache

Product's appearance, taste and texture was as expected compared to other brands I've tried in the past. Brand is reputable and trusted. A bit perturbed that it is sourced from China. I try to avoid purchasing products that will be ingested from China for reasons that will be obvious to most. The Ecocert organic certifications allays some of the concern with regards to ingredients sourced from countries with less stellar food and safety standards. Overall a good product and would consider repurchasing as well as looking to try other brands in the future.

This purchase was the first powdered spirulina I have tried. After being tired of taking 15-20 tablets a day; I thought mixing the powder into my smoothie would be a better solution. I was quite nervous about the taste, but I ordered it anyway figuring it had to be better than taking all of the pills. The first time I tried, I mixed it with ACV, baking soda, and honey and to my surprise; its taste was not unpleasant. I started mixing into my smoothies and the only way you know it is there is because of the dark green color that it creates. The color is much darker than spinach added, so you can't swap spinach on someone and expect them not to notice (like your child). Overall, I am extremely pleased with the quality and price of the organic version and I will be purchasing again.
