We had the pleasure chatting with Insha Naureen at Food Ingredients First about the incredible opportunity with our favorite nutrient-dense yet most underutilized ingredient, spirulina! Our Co-Founder and CFO, Sara Guaglio, dives into our journey, the benefits of spirulina, and the innovative ways we're using this powerful ingredient.

It's a good day to celebrate spirulina innovation! ✨ FUL Foods has recently received the highly competitive Eurostars Grant with our partners Flax & Kale, Lgem | synalgae, and CIC bioGUNE to develop a novel microalgae-derived HEME protein for next-gen plant-based meat 🙌 HEME is a specific iron-rich protein that gives meat its distinctive flavor and texture. By extracting HEME from microalgae like spirulina, we aim to develop a highly functional, nutritious plant-based protein replicating the meat-eating experience. 🤝 🌱 Grateful to continue our mission to bring future-proof nutrition to the market with best-in-class partners in the food innovation space! 💙 Julia Streuli, Sara Guaglio, Cristina Prat, Karen Lacey, Srishti Khurana, Fatima J., Wico Basson, Ryan Watt, Emily Tayman #Innovation #SustainableFood #PlantBased #HEMProtein #FutureOfFood

"The world needs more spirulina." BLUwater got a glow up! Our refreshed labels feature a brighter and more vibrant blue hue, better representing its naturally blue liquid and catching the eyes of consumers on shelf. A great thing to do when you’re amongst a sea of functional beverages! If you're in the CPG space, particularly in beverage, you're well aware of how innovative brands hit store shelves every day (no exaggeration). So, it's a pleasure to see BLUwater’s refreshed labels are making waves. Thanks for the shoutout, Fred Hart!

The BLU takeover continues 🚀 STACH, our favorite coffee shop in the Netherlands has fully embraced the BLU vision and developed two new refreshing summer beverages, featuring our first-of-its-kind, naturally blue, antioxidant-rich FUL BLUsyrup. A huge thank you to Mike Boks, Jelle Schmidt, and the incredible teams at STACH and JetDrinks BV for sharing our passion for sustainable, delicious, and nutritious solutions. If you’re in Amsterdam, be sure to try the BLU-zone Matcha or Coconut Milk Latte. You can tell them we sent you! 🌿🥥 💙 the FUL Foods Team ~ Julia Streuli, Cristina Prat, Sara Guaglio, Karen Lacey, Wico Basson, Emily Tayman, Ryan Watt, Srishti Khurana, Konstantina Moustaka

We had the pleasure of speaking at the StartLife Agrifoodtech Accelerator event in Amsterdam last month, where we showcased our innovative and sustainable FUL BLU ingredient 🌀 Attendees showed great enthusiasm for FUL BLU, BLUwater, and our plans to utilize spirulina side streams like carbohydrates, proteins, and fatty acids 🙌 Not only were we able to showcase our products, but we also had thoughtful discussions with special guests, including the CEO and co-founder of the The Vegetarian Butcher, along with StartLife alumni such as agriportance and MOA foodtech. A special thank you to our Head of Food Technology, Karen Lacey for representing FUL Foods and passionately sharing our mission of developing future-proof nutrition with spirulina! 💙 #spirulina #futurefood #foodinnovation #foodtechnology Julia Streuli, Cristina Prat, Sara Guaglio
