FAQ
Will it stay bright in ice cream?
Yes. Blue spirulina works best in chilled vanilla, coconut, yogurt, and pale fruit ice cream bases. Add it before freezing or fold in a stronger blue ribbon late.
Will fruit bases stay blue?
Acidic fruits often move the shade toward teal. Vanilla, coconut, and white chocolate keep the colour cleaner.
