Blue Spirulina Bulk and Wholesale Supply from Our Factory
BINMEI supplies bulk blue spirulina powder (spirulina extract / phycocyanin) directly from its factory in Taizhou, Zhejiang, China, in E18 and E25 grades for natural blue food coloring, beverages, confectionery, dairy, frozen desserts and dry blends. Standard industrial packs are 1 kg and 5 kg, the MOQ is 1 kg, regular grades are kept in stock, and custom projects have a 7–15 day lead time. The powder is water-soluble, made from Arthrospira platensis without extraction solvent, and is Kosher and Halal certified. EU Organic and USDA Organic certification covers powder specifications; the liquid grade is excluded. Free samples, the specification sheet and a batch COA are available for wholesale evaluation.
As a blue spirulina supplier and manufacturer, BINMEI works with food and beverage manufacturers, R&D teams, private-label partners, importers and ingredient distributors that need defined grades, technical documents and commercial support for wholesale blue spirulina purchasing.
What Is Blue Spirulina Bulk?
Blue spirulina bulk refers to spirulina-derived blue coloring ingredients supplied in commercial quantities for food and beverage manufacturers, R&D teams, brands, importers and ingredient distributors. In B2B sourcing, blue spirulina is commonly used to describe spirulina extract / phycocyanin powder, the blue coloring ingredient derived from Arthrospira platensis.
Unlike retail-sized consumer products, bulk blue spirulina supply focuses on grade definition, color performance, ingredient format, packaging options, technical documents, application fit and commercial purchasing support. Buyers may evaluate bulk blue spirulina powder for natural blue food coloring, beverage powders, confectionery, dairy, frozen desserts, dry blends and B2B packet or sachet projects.
When comparing blue spirulina wholesale products, buyers should review the grade, color intensity, solubility, source, intended application, storage requirements and available documents before confirming bulk purchase. The checklist in What to Check Before Buying Blue Spirulina in Bulk covers each point.
Blue Spirulina vs Green Spirulina Powder
Blue spirulina is not the same as green spirulina powder. Green spirulina powder is the whole dried alga, with a green color and an earthy taste. Blue spirulina is the extracted phycocyanin: it gives a bright blue color with a milder taste than whole spirulina, which is why food and beverage makers use it as a natural blue food coloring. The bulk supply on this page is blue spirulina (phycocyanin powder). For whole-algae powder, see blue-green algae powder.
Our Wholesale Blue Spirulina Product Range
BINMEI supplies wholesale blue spirulina in powder and liquid form. Powder grades suit dry blends, powdered beverages, packets and most food coloring projects; the liquid extract suits liquid systems.

Recommended Applications by Grade
Different blue spirulina grades suit different formulation goals. Choose according to application type, target shade, dosage level, powder format and whether the final product will be sold in bulk, bottled, frozen or packet formats.
Phycocyanin Powder E18
Phycocyanin Powder E18 is suitable for many standard natural blue food coloring applications. It can be evaluated for beverages, confectionery, frozen desserts, dry blends and standard drink mix sachets where balanced color performance and practical cost control are required. In beverages, it works best at pH 4.5–8.0 and when added after heat treatment.
Higher-Color-Value Phycocyanin Powder E25
The E25 TDS specifies a color value of NLT 250, compared with 180–195 for E18. E25 can therefore be evaluated when a formulation requires a higher measured color value. The final use level should be established by testing the actual product base, pH and process conditions rather than by grade number alone.
Spirulina Liquid Extract
Spirulina liquid extract is not the first choice for dry blends, sachets or stick packs. It is more suitable for liquid systems where easier mixing or direct liquid handling is needed, such as selected beverages or semi-liquid applications.
Organic Blue Spirulina Powder
Organic blue spirulina powder is available with EU Organic and USDA Organic certification on powder specifications. It is intended for B2B food and beverage projects that require matching organic documentation; the liquid spirulina extract grade is not covered by the organic certification.
What to Check Before Buying Blue Spirulina in Bulk
Before selecting a blue spirulina supplier, compare these technical and commercial points. Each one affects the color you get and whether the ingredient can be used in your market.
1. Grade and Color Value
BINMEI's official TDS specifies E18 at a color value of 180–195 and E25 at NLT 250 using UV spectrophotometry. The higher measured color value can reduce the trial dosage needed to reach a target shade, but the final use level must be confirmed in the actual formulation.
2. Composition and Processing
Ask what the powder contains besides phycocyanin and how it was extracted. BINMEI extracts phycocyanin from whole Arthrospira platensis without any extraction solvent, and the full ingredient list for each grade is on the specification sheet.
3. Form and Solubility
Powder suits dry blends, powdered beverages and packets. Liquid extract suits liquid systems where easier dispersion is required. BINMEI blue spirulina powder is water-soluble.
4. Certifications
Match the certification to the exact form you buy. BINMEI Spirulina Extract powder is covered by Kosher and Halal certification, and powder specifications can be supplied with EU Organic and USDA Organic certification; the liquid grade is excluded from Organic coverage. A Non-GMO statement can also be issued on request. See Is spirulina halal and kosher? for certificate context.
5. COA and Heavy Metals
For commercial food and beverage production, review the batch COA together with the product specification/TDS. BINMEI's TDS sets limits or criteria for color value, loss on drying, protein, phycocyanin, heavy metals and microbiological parameters; the listed test frequency varies by item.
6. Application Fit
Blue spirulina is stable at pH 4.5–8.0, should be kept below 65°C (149°F) and is sensitive to light. A powder that works in a dry blend may perform differently in an acidic beverage or a baked product, so test it in your own formulation. See our guide to pH stability of natural colors.
7. Storage and Shelf Life
Keep the container tightly closed in dry conditions to avoid moisture pickup and agglomeration. The official E18 and E25 TDS lists room-temperature storage at around 26°C and a shelf life of 2 years; because spirulina extract is light-sensitive, protect both the ingredient and the finished product from light.
8. Test Before Bulk Order
Sample testing confirms color intensity, solubility, dosage, compatibility and final shade before moving into large-scale purchasing.
9. Packet or Stick Pack Use
If you are developing spirulina packets, sachets or stick packs, confirm that the selected powder works with your serving size, dry blend system, moisture control and packaging material. Packet products may need different flowability and color intensity from bulk food coloring applications.
Blue Spirulina Wholesale Price: What Sets the Price per kg
Wholesale blue spirulina is quoted per kilogram. The quotation depends on the exact commercial configuration rather than on one fixed public price.
