Ecogenya Daily Greens Spirulina Powder is carefully cultivated spirulina, gently dried and finely milled so it blends smoothly rather than sitting in clumps. It is part of our Daily everyday range, offered as a single-ingredient food with nothing added.
Spirulina is a blue-green cyanobacterium grown in warm alkaline water, and it is one of the most protein-dense foods by weight that you can put in a smoothie. It has no tough cell wall to break, so quality comes down to how it is grown and how gently it is dried. Heat and light bleach out the deep blue-green pigment, which is why colour is the first thing worth judging: good spirulina looks alive, not dusty.
How to use it: start with a small spoonful in a smoothie, green juice or water. Spirulina has a savoury, faintly oceanic taste, so it pairs well with pineapple, mango, lime, banana and mint. The powder lets you build up gradually to a level you enjoy, which is the main advantage over tablets.
- Format: fine powder in 35 g, 100 g and 250 g, 500 g, 1000 g
- Single ingredient spirulina, no fillers, sweeteners or flow agents
- Vegan, non-GMO and gluten-free
- Third-party tested for heavy metals, with a certificate of analysis available, which matters more with algae than with almost any other ingredient
- Made in Canada from domestic and imported ingredients, and we plant a tree with every order

Fruiting body vs Mycelium and Spores
There is a lot of discussion around which parts of the mushroom should be used for extraction. Here is a short explanation:
In mushrooms, the part that is typically used for extracting nutrients and compounds is the fruiting body, which is the visible part of the mushroom that emerges above ground. This is because the fruiting body contains most of the bioactive compounds, including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other beneficial substances.
The fruiting body is rich in nutrients and bioactive compounds because it is where the reproductive structures of the mushroom develop. These structures contain various substances that the mushroom needs for growth and reproduction, as well as compounds that help defend against pathogens and predators.
However, it's worth noting that different parts of the mushroom may have different nutritional profiles and concentrations of bioactive compounds. For example, some mushrooms also produce mycelium, the underground network of fungal threads, which can also contain valuable nutrients and compounds. Additionally, certain species of mushrooms may have medicinal properties associated with specific parts of the organism, such as the mycelium or even the spores. Therefore, the specific part of the mushroom used for extraction can depend on the desired nutrients or compounds and the intended use.
We always use the fruiting body for our extracts but we are also working on developing special compound extracts from other parts like the mycelium and spores. Keep an eye on our blogs and subscribe to our newsletter to get notified of these advancements as they happen.
