First, our spirulina is organic. Second, it's a raw product, meaning that it was dried at low temperatures to preserve the full enzymatic and nutritional value of the food. Most, if not all, of the cheaper spirulina powders on the market have been spray-dried, which is a process where very high temperatures are applied to the spirulina as a means of quickly and efficiently drying it into powder. The unfortunate side-effect of this drying process is that it destroys the beneficial enzymes in this amazing product. In short, with spirulina powder, you get what you pay for.Truly Organic?With so much concern about heavy metal contimination in spirulina, most of the organic spirulina available is now tank-grown rather than grown in natural waters.
