Starwest Botanicals Spirulina Powder Organic, Non-GMO - Bulk 1 lb Bag

Perfect product. It's a good consistency and tastes fine when mixed with other ingredients. Good price and fast shipping. It checks all the boxes.

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.

This is high quality USDA Organic spirulina from Starwest Botanicals, a trusted brand I've used for years. I am SO happy it's USDA organic! That's what I'm always looking for. I use it in green smoothies. The powder is in the bag ABOVE the zipseal line. As it is an extremely fine powder, you must open and use carefully. It does spread a very fine mist of powder when you open the bag, so 1st try tapping spirulina down, or that too will fly out of the bag. I open the mason jar I keep it in and use a measuring spoon. I leave the rest tightly sealed in the bag. So it does a little bit of flying but that's inherent in how fine it is. Highly recommended.

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!!

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.
