About
Spirulina powder is a dried algae supplement that packs about 5.0 ounces (142 g) into a standard cup.
Spirulina powder has a bulk density of roughly 5.0 ounces per cup (0.6 g/mL). Made from dried cyanobacteria, this fine green powder takes up more volume than granulated table salt or sugar. It is noticeably denser than cocoa powder or whey protein, settling into a fairly compact mass when tapped.
From Wikipedia
Spirulina is the dried biomass of cyanobacteria that can be consumed by humans and animals. The three species are Arthrospira platensis, A. fusiformis, and A. maxima.
