Ever tried Spirulina powder, that green so-called 'superfood' that has such an off-putting taste that you would rather just be deemed unhealthy?
Well, hear me out here, you need to try fresh Spirulina paste, boasting all the nutritional benefits with a neutral taste and smell! This incredible product is very environmentally friendly to produce, but it is still a relatively unknown product.
Luckily, there is someone working almost singlehandedly to change this! Meet Tim van Koolwijk, the founder of Spirueax, which does just this, making fresh Spirulina paste in a photo bio-reactor with the help of a cyanobacterium.
Today I chatted with Tim about the inspiration behind his innovative product, its ability to revolutionize societal food consumption in terms of environmental impact, his own TU Delft background, and the most exciting part of Spireaux's future!
