About Grow Spirulina
My name is Tom Vered, and I founded Grow Spirulina in 2012. I am an industrial designer, and the idea for Grow Spirulina and its DIY kits came from a personal experience that changed my life.
It happened completely by chance in 2012.
I didn’t plan to eat Spirulina at the time, and I certainly didn’t plan to grow it. A random encounter with a friend who was growing Spirulina led me to try fresh Spirulina for the first time.
In previous years, I had tried dried Spirulina, which had a strong taste and seemed to have no noticeable effect on me - neither positive nor negative. But that first encounter with fresh Spirulina brought noticeable improvements within just a few days to the health issues I was dealing with at the time.
​​
Soon after, I started figuring out how to grow this superfood myself. Back in 2012, there wasn’t much information out there about Spirulina, and tracking down cultures and the right growing materials was a real challenge. I spent nearly a year experimenting, learning, and tinkering - until finally, I managed to grow Spirulina on my own! My background as an industrial designer definitely came in handy, helping me design a simple, practical way to make it work.
Pretty soon, I found myself showing others how to grow Spirulina at home -in kitchens, backyards, classrooms, anywhere they wanted. Using what I had learned, I put together a kit that anyone can use, even if you’ve never tried it before. The DIY kits I developed are making it easy to grow a steady, affordable, and fresh supply of Spirulina.

Grow Spirulina is my personal project. It combines my love for healthy living with my professional passion for smart design. On this site, I share everything I’ve learned - my methods, my tips, and the tools you need - so anyone can grow Spirulina at home and enjoy the benefits of this amazing superfood.
I invite you to explore the site, discover Spirulina, and give it a try yourself. See for yourself why this superfood made such a difference in my life.
