Spirulina Usage Guide
How to choose, store, and use Spirulina — with Kerala-specific recipe ideas and a beginner dosage ramp-up plan.
Powder vs Tablets
Powder is more versatile for cooking (smoothies, chutneys) but has a stronger taste. Tablets are convenient and tasteless — ideal for those sensitive to algae flavour.
Beginner Dosage Ramp-Up
Week 1: ½ tsp powder (1 g) daily. Week 2: 1 tsp (2 g) daily. Week 3–4: 1–1.5 tsp (2–3 g) daily. This reduces chances of digestive adjustment.
Kerala-Friendly Ways to Use It
Stir into tender coconut water, blend with moru (buttermilk), mix into coconut chutney, add to banana smoothie, or blend into rice kanji. Avoid boiling — heat degrades heat-sensitive nutrients.
Storage
Store away from light, heat, and moisture. Sealed glass jar in a cool cupboard is ideal. Refrigerate after opening. Use within 6 months of opening for best potency.
Quality Sourcing
Look for: certified organic, third-party tested for heavy metals and microcystin, no additives or fillers, country of origin stated. Indian and Hawaiian sources are generally well-regulated.
Who Should Be Cautious
PKU (phenylketonuria), autoimmune conditions (multiple sclerosis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis), pregnancy and nursing — consult a doctor before use.
