Botanical Name: Chlorella vulgaris
Country of Origin: Taiwan
English Name: Chlorella Powder
Also Known As: Chlorella Algae Powder, Chlorella Vulgaris Powder, Green Algae Powder, Dried Chlorella Powder
Part Used: Dried whole algae of Chlorella vulgaris
Description: Chlorella Powder is produced from Chlorella vulgaris, a single-celled freshwater green algae cultivated in controlled aquatic environments. This microscopic algae is grown in clean water conditions where light and nutrients support consistent growth. Once the algae reach optimal density, they are harvested and separated from the water to prepare them for drying and processing.
After harvesting, the algae are thoroughly washed and dried using low-temperature or spray-drying methods to maintain their natural green colour and fine texture. The dried material is then milled into a fine, uniform powder. This process results in a smooth, vibrant green powder that retains the visual and physical characteristics of the algae while offering ease of handling and consistent blending.
Chlorella Powder has a fine, lightweight texture and a deep green colour, making it suitable for a wide range of formulations. The powder is uniform in particle size and free flowing, allowing for precise measuring and easy incorporation into dry or liquid preparations. Its stable form supports long-term storage and consistent performance in various applications.
Uses: Chlorella Powder is commonly used in smoothies, beverages, sauces, and culinary recipes where a natural green colour and fine powdered ingredient are desired. It is also used in cosmetic formulations such as masks, scrubs, and personal care products where algae-based powders are incorporated for texture and colour. Additionally, the powder is suitable for botanical craft projects, educational kits, and decorative applications that require a finely milled green plant material.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
