What is high quality spirulina

“To grow high quality spirulina, it is crucial that you select the best algae that would best fit in the climate, and be attentive to the quality of water as well. In that respect, the area where Earthrise Nutritionals produces their spirulina is top quality. Colorado River, which is their main source of water for the farm, enables them to grow high quality spirulina with rich minerals from the river.
