Unique spirulina from the eco-friendly Auroville community

This Vitalvibe spirulina belongs to the Spirulina paracas strain, one of the very first life forms (some 3.6 million years ago) which was used as a source of nutrients by various cultures in what is now Mexico and Africa.

This particular alga comes from a remarkable place with a rich spiritual tradition. Auroville is an experimental town whose mission is to encourage people’s spiritual growth and life in harmony. Many ecological technologies and alternative methods are applied here.

This farm with more than twenty years of tradition makes a point of functioning in harmony with the principles of long-term sustainability and fair trade. Its owners employ mainly women from socially disadvantaged local communities. They ensure a friendly and safe working environment and good salaries for their employees.

Production using ecological methods

The particularly sunny climate allows a unique way of producing this top quality spirulina using ecological farming methods. The alga is grown in shallow ponds approximately 15 cm below the surface. The water is enriched with nutrients (minerals and salts) which provide the perfect living conditions for the alga. The culture is mixed several times a day to stimulate the process of photosynthesis.

The spirulina, harvested from the water in the form of biomass, undergoes a process of purification and filtration. It is then pressed into a paste which can be ground into the distinctive spaghetti form. It is subsequently dried in the sun, which is a question of mere hours in the sunny coastal climate. In the end the spirulina spaghetti are broken into smaller pieces and packaged.
