Our first flagship product is changing the way blue foods are colored. As a rare and natural blue pigment, Electric Sky is the only FDA-approved product to replace Artificial Blue #1, a market need as consumers become aware of the harmful effects of artificial colors on our health. Feeding 10B people starts with the opportunities the market holds right now. From alternative ingredients to colors, and superfoods to plant-proteins, spirulina can produce it all. Our product is revolutionizing how businesses color food by replacing artificial ingredients. From there we'll shift to providing a novel plant protein. The food industry is relentlessly looking for better ingredients and new plant-proteins - we have it.
