Two lines. One is a pantry product. One has a clock on it.

Same pond, same strain, same morning. What separates them is whether we take the water out of it. Read both — then tell us what you're feeding and we'll tell you which one you actually want.

01 / Dry

Dry Spirulina

ఎండిన స్పిరులినా

Arthrospira platensis — dried biomass

Harvested wet. Dried low. Nothing added.

Spirulina is roughly two-thirds protein by dry weight — more than any grain, most pulses, and most meat by mass. It carries iron, B-vitamins and the blue pigment phycocyanin, which is also the first thing you lose if you dry it carelessly. So we dry it gently and quickly, in the shade of the same day it was harvested.

The colour of the finished powder tells you most of what you need to know. Ours comes out a deep forest green, not the grey-green of biomass that sat too long in the sun. That is the whole discipline: get it out of the water, get the water out of it, don't cook it.

It comes in three forms

01
Powder
Fine, sieved. Blends into feed, food, capsules and drinks.
02
Flakes
Broken, not milled. Slower to disperse — preferred by some feed formulators.
03
Tablets
Pressed for retail and direct nutrition. TODO: tablet mg

What it's used for

  • Nutrition brands — capsules, tablets, powders, blends
  • Premium feed additive — shrimp, fish, poultry, cattle
  • Food manufacturers — colour and protein fortification

Who buys it

  • Supplement and health distributors
  • Feed mills and formulators
  • Retail buyers, in cartons rather than sachets
02 / Live

Wet / Live Spirulina

తాజా స్పిరులినా

Arthrospira platensis — live biomass, undried

It leaves the pond alive. It should reach you that way.

Drying is a compromise. It is a good compromise — it buys you a year of shelf life — but heat and time take some of the pigment and all of the life with them. For a hatchery running larval tanks, that difference is the product.

So the wet line never dries. We screen the biomass, wash it, press it to a paste, chill it, and hand it over the same day. Live culture goes out in its own medium for hatcheries that want to keep it going on site.

Two ways to take it

01
Fresh paste
Pressed, chilled, undried. Dose by weight straight into tanks.
02
Live culture
Actively growing, in medium. For hatcheries maintaining their own tanks.

Packaging

Handling

Keep it cold and keep it moving. Wet spirulina is not a shelf product and we will not pretend it is.

TODO: photo — wet paste, close

Art dir.Held in a gloved hand at the pond edge, wet, catching light — dark blue-green, still dripping. Shot cold, in shade.

What it's used for

  • Larval feed — shrimp and fish hatcheries
  • Colour and pigmentation in ornamental fish
  • Immunity and gut condition in early-stage larvae
  • Fresh food — smoothies, direct consumption

Who buys it

  • Shrimp hatcheries — vannamei and others
  • Fish and ornamental hatcheries
  • Aquaculture farms within a same-day drive
  • Anyone who wants it fresh and lives close enough
