Coming Soon! Galdieria blue extract is a phycocyanin-rich natural blue color, similiar to spirulina. It is created via fermentation followed by a simple water extraction from the microalgae Galdieria sulphuraria. Because of the microalgae’s natural environment, the color produced is more acid stable than spirulina, allowing it to be used in a wider range of applications. It is well suited for beverages and other acidic applications like gummies and hard candies. It also has good heat and light stability, allowing for more flexibility with processing and packaging than when using spirulina
