The sun- or spray-dried ingredients, which include paste, powders, nibs, and flakes, are derived from the microalgae species Arthrospira platensis. The ingredients’ mild flavor is also conducive to foods like baked goods, pasta, juice, smoothies, and fermented beverages, as well as serving as topping for ice cream, yogurt, salad, and cheese.
