Our history
2011
First Ideas
Bigger and bigger, more and more efficient, more and more animals - that was not an option for us. We were looking for an alternative. In 2011, Johannes first became aware of algae...
2013-2016
Planning
After a longer period of observation, things slowly started to take shape in late 2013. Together with another innovator and pioneer in the algae sector, the necessary initial know-how seemed to be coming together.
Initial business plans were written, various drafts were discarded, until finally a loan for the venture was secured. Here too, it became clear – all beginnings are difficult: How do you explain to a bank what you want to do when there's nothing comparable yet?
2016
Construction phase
The construction of the greenhouse and the technical equipment is starting. In July of this year, the first basin will be filled with algae. From this point on, a nerve-racking journey of producing algae properly will begin.
2016-2018
Problems...
From foreign algae and small predators in the water, to temperature regulation and harvesting technology, we are confronted with problems across the board. Hours of harvesting, constantly having to restart tanks, various attempts with organic fertilizers - the new beginnings seem endless.
Already in the first winter of 2016/2017, we rebuilt almost half of it. The same happened the next winter. And again the following winter... It quickly became clear that we would have to invest much more energy and know-how than originally thought. It was time to roll up our sleeves!
2017
Beyond the Horizon
Contact with universities and institutes begins, and the exchange has intensified steadily ever since. But many things are different on a laboratory scale than in a large greenhouse.
Meanwhile, Maarten is making the most of his time in Asia, trying to get in touch with everything that looks like algae production. From Bangkok to Delhi, from algae on hotel rooftops to hectare-sized open-field production, he is gaining a sharper understanding of how the topic could work.
2018 / 2019
Homegrown
In the summer of 2018, we will begin setting up our own cultivation with Algatec GbR. From then on, we will be able to start production with just a few liters under our own steam.
In the winter of 2018/2019, the cultivation facility will be additionally modified to retain more heat. At a later point, LED lighting for the winter months will also be added. With these measures, we will be practically self-sufficient.
2019
Spirulina instead of Chlorella
We've noticed that many problems we encounter with Chlorella algae don't occur with Spirulina. Due to the high pH value, the algae practically clean themselves, and at the same time, harvesting is much easier due to the different algae form. Therefore, in 2019, we are ultimately converting our entire production.
2019
Pool conversion
With spirulina, the construction of our tanks is also changing. Square tanks are now becoming oval, in which a paddle wheel ensures that the algae circulate homogeneously 24/7. Once again, it's time to rebuild everything!
The underfloor heating also needs to be equipped with additional heating hoses. Instead of 25°C, we now need more like 35°C. Luckily, there's no shortage of heat thanks to the neighboring biogas plant.
2016 - 2021
Harvesting technology
For almost five years we have been tinkering with various harvesting techniques. The Chlorella algae, however, is the most annoying. From flocculation to vibrating screens, we tested a total of five different systems over time.
With the spirulina, the tide turns. A technical breakthrough is finally achieved with a drum filter. In the further course, a vacuum case and a "spaghetti press" follow as further process steps, so that by the end of 2021 everything is working as desired.
2022
Top quality
It took a long time and many, many failed attempts. Through final refinements in the drying process, we will be able to produce outstanding quality by early 2022.
2022
JoMaa is emerging
We find that few retailers are able and willing to distribute German algae. Prices from Asia are simply too tempting, margins are higher, and these algae even boast organic certifications.
So, we're taking marketing into our own hands and launching our private label.
2025
In-house milling
By having our own grinding facility, we can further improve the quality and fineness of the powder. Furthermore, we significantly increase delivery speed, as all process steps are now handled in-house.

Our promises to you
-
Rich
If you order superfood, you should get superfood. The ingredients must be preserved and available. Spray drying, which is commonly used for other spirulina, destroys the cell membrane and reduces its health benefits.
We dry our spirulina immediately after harvesting in raw food quality at a maximum of 42°C. This protects the algae and is better for you. -
Delicious
The gentle drying process ensures mild sensory properties. Our spirulina is therefore ideal for use in the kitchen without covering the entire dish.
We do not have a musty fish smell or taste like many other spirulina products often have. -
Clean & Tested
Not least because we eat our own spirulina daily, we attach great importance to controlled and safe conditions.
Our production takes place in a closed greenhouse using well water from great depths. Our basins are constantly inspected, and every harvested batch is analyzed in an independent laboratory. No pesticides are used whatsoever.
Our internal quality standards are many times higher than the legal guidelines. -
Sustainable
Spirulina is one of the most resource-efficient foods there is.
Thanks to the power of the sun and the heat from a neighboring biogas plant, our production consumes less energy per year than a single-family home.
Our greenhouse is also made almost entirely from recycled materials and uses very little floor space. Regional production also eliminates long transport routes.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Spirulina is a small blue-green miracle. Its organism is among the first photosynthetic cells on our planet and shaped it long before dinosaurs even existed. Since it doesn't possess a true nucleus, it belongs to the group of cyanobacteria – the precursors of algae.
Our spirulina is available in the form of sprinkles, powder or cubes.
The sprinkles and powder are dried, while the cubes are frozen spirulina.
If you want to mix it in easily, choose the powder. The sprinkles are suitable for a snack or a crunch effect. The cubes are the most neutral in taste and are best dissolved in water and drunk.
Our spirulina does not contain any allergens and is free of heavy metals or other harmful substances. When it comes to wild-harvested seaweed, you should keep an eye on the iodine content, which can often be very high. But this does not apply to our indoor spirulina.
Since spirulina is a rich food, you can safely consume large amounts. We recommend 3 teaspoons a day, which is about 12g. Many daily doses are given as 6g. If the quality is good, there is no upper limit. There are also people who eat only spirulina for a week. This shows quite clearly that there are no limits.
Long. Our dried spirulina has a very low water content. If stored dry and protected from light, it will last for well over a year.
Yes, these are stored on our product page. Since we sometimes have new batches several times a month, these serve as an example. If you want to know explicitly, feel free to contact us.
Our spirulina has an exceptionally mild taste. It is characterized by its natural umami depth – the fifth taste. Many customers also describe a subtle oceanic flavor, which is due to a delicate salty note.

Calcium
180 mg / 100 g
The three most important functions of calcium in the body:
-
Bones & Teeth
Calcium is the central building block for bones and teeth. Without sufficient intake, bone density decreases → increased risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures.
-
Muscle Function (incl. Heart)
Calcium controls muscle contraction. Too little calcium can cause muscle cramps; too much interferes with nerve impulse transmission. The heart muscle is particularly dependent on it.
-
Nerves & Blood Coagulation
Calcium is necessary for signal transmission between nerves and for proper blood coagulation. Without calcium, there is no controlled nerve impulse and no stable coagulation.
