FAQ
Fresh Frozen Spirulina FAQs
What is fresh spirulina?
Spirulina is a nutrient-dense blue-green algae, technically a type of cyanobacteria, that has been eaten as food for centuries. It naturally grows in warm, mineral-rich water and has historically been harvested in places like Central Africa and Mexico. Spirulina naturally contains plant-based protein, iron, vitamin K, chlorophyll, phycocyanin, and other nutrients.
Most people today know spirulina as a dried green powder, but it can also be enjoyed fresh or fresh-frozen, closer to the way it’s harvested.
What is fresh-frozen spirulina?
Fresh-frozen spirulina is spirulina that is frozen shortly after harvest instead of being dried into powder. Oasia portions it into individual pods, giving you the mild flavor and creamy texture of fresh spirulina with the convenience of longer freezer storage.
What does fresh-frozen spirulina taste like?
Fresh-frozen spirulina has a mild flavor and smooth, creamy texture. It doesn’t have the strong, earthy taste many people associate with dried spirulina powder, so it blends easily into both sweet and savory foods.
How do I use frozen spirulina pods?
Tear open a pod and add it to smoothies, yogurt, bowls, dips, dressings, sauces, or other foods. Each pod is individually portioned, so there’s no scooping or measuring. You can use it frozen in a smoothie or thaw it before adding it to other foods.
How many frozen spirulina pods should I use per day?
We recommend starting with 1 to 2 pods per day and adjusting based on how spirulina fits into your routine. Use one at a time or work them into different meals, snacks, or drinks throughout the day.
How will my frozen spirulina arrive and how should I store it?
Your fresh-frozen spirulina ships frozen and should arrive frozen or very cold. Place the pods in the freezer as soon as they arrive, where they’ll keep for about six months. Once a pod is thawed, use it that day and avoid thawing and refreezing it.
