spirulina
This term refers specifically to a type of cyanobacteria used primarily as a health supplement. In commercial and culinary contexts, it is almost always encountered as a dried powder or concentrated tablet rather than in its raw, aquatic form.
As a mass noun representing a substance or a species of algae, it is treated as uncountable. It does not have a plural form in standard usage; instead, quantities are specified using partitive phrases such as "a dose of spirulina" or "a gram of spirulina."
