This is a receipe for homemade Spirulina chips. You need:
2 fresh (organic) eggs
4 Tablespoon Spirulina Powder
4 Tablespoon flour
You get organic spirulina powder at local organic stores or online at amazon. Its quite expensive, but 250g last forever. The rest of the ingredients should already be in your kitchen (unless you are a student).
Use a stainless steel bowl to mix eggs without shell, the flour and the spirulina powder. Do not use a plastik bowl, unless you wan't to have a green one.
Use a spoon for the first part and kned it by hand later. Try not to mess up your workplace. Add some flour, when the dough is still sticky. You want to get a solid dough ball.
Roll the dough flat on a baking sheet with parchment paper. It should be 3-5mm thick. Cut it to strips or squares with a knife or pizza cutter.
Dry or bake the cookies for at least 2 hours by 80 deg Celsius (175 deg F). The wafers get hard like japanese wasabi cracker. They taste and smell similar, missing only salt and spices.
Do not forget to clean all used tools and bowls immediately. Dishwasher can't cope with dried up spirulina.
These Wafers contain nearly one third algae. Merits of the original receipe belong to the Youtube Channel Mark's shrimptanks.
My Clownplecos and Neocaridina love these wafers. The wafers do not dissolve for at least two days. You can only feed them to fishes that rasp their food from a surface or feed on biofilm/algae. Corydoras for example will ignore this kind of food.
