For many years, the author has been developing small scale spirulina projects in Europe and Africa. In this practical manual he describes how to cultivate spirulina on a family scale. At his spirulina greenhouse facility in September 1999 in Mialet, Jean-Paul Jourdan shows how he grows, harvests and dries spirulina, producing a tasty finished food product.

Jourdan Spirulina Greenhouses
At Le Castanet, Jean-Paul experiments with several greenhouse styles.
Pumps and hoses circulate the basins and are used to harvest spirulina.

Jourdan Harvesting Spirulina
Culture is pumped through a hose over a fine cloth screen, harvesting spirulina filaments. Fresh spirulina paste can be scooped and rolled into a ball shape.

Jourdan Pressing Spirulina Paste
Jean-Paul presses the spirulina paste to remove even more water.
This makes spirulina into a thick dough.

Jourdan Making Noodles
He spoons spirulina dough into a large gun with 2 millimeter holes
and squeezes out long noodles into the drying tray.

Jourdan Drying Spirulina
In a typical fruit and vegetable dehydrator, noodles take several hours to dry.
Jean-Paul grinds up the dry curly noodles into smaller bits before packaging.
He makes enough spirulina for family and friends and sends his spirulina in foil vacuum packs to health clinics in Africa.
