Microalgal flour granules, characterized in that they have at least one of the following characteristics:
- a monomodal particle size distribution, measured on a particle size analyser, of from 2 to 400 μm, centred on a particle mode diameter (D mode) between 5 and 15 μm,
- flow grades, determined according to a test A,
- 0.5 to 60% by weight for the oversize at 2000 μm,
- 0.5 to 60% by weight for the oversize at 1400 μm,
- 0.5 to 95% by weight for the oversize at 800 μm,
- a degree of wettability, expressed according to a test B, by the height of the product settled in a beaker, at a value of 0 to 4.0 cm.
