Spirulina algae powder from Taiwan in organic & raw food quality (100% natural)
Spirulina platensis is a single-celled, spiral-shaped blue-green algae that has existed on our planet for thousands of years. It gets its typical deep dark colour from the green of the chlorophyll and the blue of the phycocyanin. Spirulina grows in shallow waters with an alkaline pH value between 9 and 11. As it has no cellulose shell, our body can easily break down and digest its components.
Why is spirulina useful as a dietary supplement?
The blue-green microalgae contains a wealth of nutrients and vital substances. Spirulina powder is particularly rich in protein, provitamin A (β-carotene), iron and vitamin K. The dark colour also indicates a high chlorophyll content.
SamaraNatura spirulina algae powder Taiwan BIO
Our very high-quality Spirulina platensis in raw food quality comes from controlled organic cultivation in southern Taiwan. It is cultivated in accordance with Naturland guidelines, in pure drinking water under natural climatic conditions and exclusively under sunlight. Compared to other spirulina, it has a very pleasant taste and an incredibly rich blue-green colour. Due to the gentle processing, it has raw food quality.
To check the quality, each batch is tested by an independent laboratory in Germany for pesticides, bacteria, algae toxins, heavy metals and radioactivity.
How do I use spirulina powder?
Mix ½-1 teaspoon with water 3 times a day, as an ingredient for smoothies or with fruit and vegetable juices.
As with all food supplements, we recommend starting cautiously and slowly increasing the amount used over the course of a week. This will allow your body to get used to the new product and avoid unwanted side effects such as indigestion.
You will usually get used to the somewhat unique flavour quite quickly. If you find using the powder unpleasant even after a few weeks, we recommend using spirulina tablets.
Combining spirulina and chlorella
The two algae powders are very suitable for combined use due to their nutrients. We recommend taking spirulina together with chlorella in a ratio of 2:1, whereby the total recommended daily dose must not be exceeded.

Spirulina powder - the high-quality original from Hawaii (100% natural)
What is spirulina?
Spirulina is a single-celled, filamentous blue-green algae and one of the first life forms on this planet. Richer in high-quality protein (contains 18 amino acids) than any other food, the microalgae also contains a wealth of vitamins, minerals, important antioxidants such as SOD and phycocyanin, polysaccharides and the rare gamma-linolenic acid.
Spirulina is at the forefront of the nutritional revolution. With its rich composition and ability to grow even under unfavourable conditions, the microalgae has great potential to become a food source that will help feed the world's population. By integrating spirulina into our diet, we are making a contribution to solving the food crisis.
The effect of spirulina?
Spirulina is a valuable food. The algae is incredibly rich, a "wholefood". It is believed to contain all the vital substances that the human body needs. The high density of vital substances brings vitality and well-being. The antioxidants can scavenge free radicals and highly reactive oxygen compounds and are therefore important for the maintenance and function of cells.
The detailed nutritional values are listed below.
What makes our spirulina powder special?
Our Spirulina Pacifica has been cultivated in Hawaii for over 25 years(video with flight over the plantation) and is regarded as one of the highest quality spirulina in the world. In a special, oxygen-free drying system, the spirulina is dried very gently so that more nutrients and enzymes are retained - e.g. over 40% more ß-carotene and over 75% more zeaxanthin - than is possible with conventional drying systems.
Spirulina Pacifica is grown in open ponds 20 cm deep, a few hundred metres from the Pacific Ocean. To fill the ponds, fresh water is mixed with seawater from a depth of 600 metres, which is rich in minerals and trace elements. The other most important substances for cultivation in terms of quantity are food-grade baking powder (sodium bicarbonate) and carbon dioxide. Food-grade fertilisers are also used. Paddle wheels move the water to provide the algae with uniform sunlight for optimal growth conditions and nutrient uptake.
Spirulina from Hawaii is grown without pesticides or herbicides and does not contain any genetically modified organisms.
Our spirulina is called Spirulina Pacifica and is a selected strain of Spirulina platensis that has developed over many years of cultivation in Hawaii. Spirulina Pacifica was intensively analysed by molecular biologists at the University of Hawaii. They identified new enzymes that were not found in other Spirulina platensis strains.
Tips for use in everyday nutrition
The powder is most often mixed with fruit and vegetable juices. Spring water is also very good and promotes maximum absorption. Spirulina can also be added to food like a spice to avoid loss of nutrients, but it should only be heated a little.
Spirulina has a unique flavour that blends well with almost anything. If you are not used to the flavour of green foods, it may take some getting used to at first.
If you find that your energy is running low during the day, take some spirulina with water and observe how your body feels 1-2 hours later. You will be amazed.
Recommended intake
Beginners and children: 1-2 g per day
Adults: up to 3g per day
It is recommended to start with 1 teaspoon (5 g) or slightly less and gradually increase the intake up to 10 g (1 heaped tablespoon) to avoid indigestion. Taking 1 tsp one hour before meals can help to reduce appetite.
The dry powder absorbs water from the air, so the packaging should be tightly sealed and stored in a cool, dry and dark place
Complementary product recommendations
We recommend taking spirulina together with chlorella in a ratio of 2:1.

Atlantic dulse powder (red algae) in organic & raw food quality
We have been stocking a wide and high-quality range of organic Atlantic dulse for many years. This dulse powder from Ireland is the simplest form for detox smoothies. It can also be used to flavour food. We also offer dulse flakes from Ireland and dulse leaves cut from Galicia (Spain). Several sizes are available and you can benefit from graduated prices (5% quantity discount from 3 pieces).
Atlantic dulse or lobster seaweed (Palmaria palmata) is a red algae, soft with a bite and a strong purple-red colour. It does not need to be cooked or soaked. This makes dulse a great snack or a flavourful topping for potato and lentil dishes as well as salads. In recent years, dulse has also become popular as an ingredient in detox smoothies.
Dulse is extremely low in calories, fat- and cholesterol-free, rich in minerals as well as vitamin B6, fibre and protein. It has the highest iron content of all sea vegetables.
10g of dried dulse is equivalent to around 100g of fresh dulse.
Why use dulse powder
Dulse is one of the easiest sea vegetables to use. It tastes mild and spicy and adds flavour and colour to any dish. It is also one of the few purple foods and purple is the colour of spiritual consciousness, the third eye.
Irish dulse from wild collection
Our dulse is collected wild in the west of Ireland at low tide and harvested by hand. With the help of a cold air drying system, the organic seaweed is dried very gently and in raw food quality. The leaves are then ground into powder.
Variants: Due to the different consumption quantities and requirements, we offer dulse powder in 100g and 250g bags. The larger bag is approx. 16.5% cheaper.
Use of dulse
Dulse has been traditionally harvested for generations and can be eaten straight from the bag or used as an ingredient in smooties. Dulse is also suitable steamed over potatoes or crispy roasted as a snack or with salads and other dishes. As a raw food straight from the bag or in salads (can be rinsed beforehand if necessary). In soups and stews, ideal with pulses and cereal dishes. Add towards the end of the cooking time.
Ingredients
100% organic dulse / lobster kelp (Palmaria palmata).
Important notes
Due to the high mineral content, we recommend a daily ration of 5g. Particular caution is advised for people with thyroid disorders due to the iodine content.
These seaweeds may contain parts of crustaceans and grains of sand due to processing. Therefore, please check the leaves/flakes briefly before consumption.

Sea vegetables in general
Sea vegetables are wild plants of the ocean that grow on coral reefs and rocky coasts, usually in salt water. Sea vegetables are enjoyed in many coastal regions around the world and enrich most dishes with flavour and nutrients.
Sea vegetables contain almost all the minerals and trace elements that the sea has to offer! In general, sea vegetables are an excellent source of calcium, iodine and sodium, a very good source of folic acid and magnesium and a good source of iron, potassium, vitamin B2 and B5. They also contain vitamin K and trace elements such as selenium and chromium, which are often lacking in land vegetables due to depleted soils.
Sea vegetables are an ideal substitute for salt in a wide variety of dishes.

What makes our dulse flakes from Ireland special?
The dulse seaweed comes from quality producers in Ireland. After harvesting, the wild-growing organic dulse is dried very gently and in raw food quality using a cold air drying system. They are then ground into flakes.
Please note: Due to the wild harvest, small mussels may adhere to the dulse leaves. The producer himself and we check the purity as well as possible when packing into the bags. For safety reasons, we ask you to briefly check the dulse flakes before eating them.
Varying consistency (bite resistance)
The consistency (firmness) of the dulse flakes can vary depending on the batch and season. This may be due to the time of harvest or the development of the individual plants at the time of harvest. Dulse algae are wild-growing plants. They are generally harvested shortly before flowering so that the plants are still young enough to be sufficiently tender. Prolonged soaking or heating (boiling) reduces the bite strength.
How to use dulse flakes?
Dulse has been traditionally harvested for generations and can be eaten straight from the bag (rinsed beforehand if necessary) or used as an ingredient in smoothies (e.g. for detox smoothies). They are also suitable as a topping for salads, sandwiches as well as lentil dishes or rice dishes.Dulse is also suitable steamed over potatoes or crispy roasted as a snack and other dishes. In soups and stews, ideal with pulses and cereal dishes. Add towards the end of the cooking time.

Wild organic blueberries - antioxidants and flavour combined
Update:125g bags are available. The blueberries 250g + 1kg are sold out. The new batch is expected to arrive in April. To complement our range, we are also stocking organic blueberry powder from Bosnia.
Packed with healthy nutrients like no other fruit - a real superfruit.
Why eat dried organic blueberries from wild harvesting?
Great snack: delicious and nutritious
Wide range of important nutrients and particularly rich in vitamins C, E and B6 as well as iron, fibre and other vital substances such as resveratrol, zeaxanthin, lutein, anthocyanins and other polyphenolic compounds
Because they contain such a high amount of phenols, especially gallic acid, blueberries are known as "nerve protectors". According to researchers from Iran, this means that they can literally protect our brains from degeneration, neurotoxicity and oxidative stress.
Particularly for a fruit is its high iron content, which boosts energy levels by producing oxygen-rich blood cells throughout the body. In addition, dried wild blueberries contain a very high antioxidant capacity of around 50,000 µmol TE/100g (ORAC value = Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity).
For healthy skin
Skin care products containing bilberry extract are becoming increasingly popular around the world. It has been reported that the broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals helps to restore hormonal balance, which counteracts acne. This makes blueberries an excellent home remedy for acne. Blueberries also contain resveratrol, a natural sunscreen that can tan your skin.
What makes our wild organic blueberries special?
100% natural, gently processed and dried (raw food quality)
No preservatives, colourings, sweeteners or other unnatural additives
Natural flavour: sweet and sour, fruity and very aromatic
Dark purple colour (high quality and purity) and quite dry and crispy
Different sizes and origins
Dried organic blueberries from wild collection are very difficult to obtain. In northern countries they are also often frozen or freeze-dried. The latest batch of air-dried blueberries comes from Bosnia again and we have packed them in 125g, 250g and 1kg bags.
The difference between wild and cultivated blueberries
They look almost the same. Both are blue, round and taste great. But what are the differences between these two berries?
Wild blueberries compared to cultivated blueberries have a higher vitamin content and a much higher anthocyanin content. Blueberry has become a universal name for blue-coloured berries of the Vaccinium genus, but it is good to know the difference between cultivated blueberries (often called American blueberries or blueberries) and wild blueberries (European blueberries). While cultivated blueberries are grown in various places around the world, wild blueberries grow on small bushes mainly in the northern parts of the Northern Hemisphere.
The anthocyanins in the wild blueberry are visible to the eye as blue and red pigments in the flesh, which is juicy and bluish-purple in colour. The cultivated blueberry, on the other hand, has an almost transparent white and somewhat floury flesh.
The wild blueberry has certainly been used since the 16th century, both the dried berries and the leaves. Modern interest stems in part from the use of the fruit by British pilots during the Second World War, when pilots noticed that their night vision was better on bombing missions after eating bilberry jam.
Nowadays, only garden blueberries (American blueberries) from cultivation are available, which are simply not as good and significantly less rich in vital substances than wild blueberries.
How to integrate them into your daily diet?
Thanks to their intense, typical blueberry flavour, they are perfect as an addition to muesli, smoothies and as a dessert topping. When making smoothies, we recommend soaking the wild blueberries overnight to make them easier to blend. They also go well in yoghurt (including vegan coconut yoghurt) and honey. A real treat!

Organic barley grass powder from Germany (100% natural)
Why consume barley grass powder?
Barley grass contains a variety of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, phytochemicals and antioxidants. Regular use of barley grass powder can help the body maintain its optimal level of all necessary nutrients.
Barley grass is very easy to digest. It is also cheaper than most multivitamin and multimineral products. It's easier to lead a happy and active life in a body that is fuelled with all the nutrients it needs!
What makes our barley grass powder special?
Our barley grass powder is 100% pure, grown without pesticides or agrochemicals and is made from young shoots, which is why it has such a rich green colour. The grasses grow exclusively outdoors in the sun-drenched, mineral-rich and fertile soils of southern Germany (Lake Constance region). They are harvested before the stalks develop and immediately dehydrated at low temperatures. Gentle drying and grinding takes place in a regional company at temperatures below 38°C, which preserves many nutrients and vital substances. This ensures that the high-quality nutrients, including the heat-sensitive enzymes and vital substances, are preserved.
Where does our barley grass powder come from?
Grasses vary in their nutrient content depending on where, when and how they grow. Our organic grass is grown in the fertile soils of southern Germany. Each field is harvested only once, after which it is ploughed up.
Use of barley grass powder
Add the barley grass powder to water, water kefir, fresh fruit and vegetable juices, smoothies, food or other drinks. Initially ½ tsp daily, increase to 1-2 tsp or more as required. It is best to drink ½ hour before meals. The amount of powder should only be increased gradually so that the body can get used to it.
Tip: Mix 1 tsp with 3 litres of apple spritzer. Drink promptly after mixing
Note: Barley grass powder can have a high vitamin K content. Cautious use may be appropriate for hypersensitive individuals.
Due to its antioxidant properties, grass powders are also suitable for external use. They are ideal for skin and hair care.
In powder form, grasses are a good mouthwash and an excellent tooth cleanser.
The grasses are also suitable for dogs and cats. You can mix the powder into their food, both in dry and moist form.

Hulled hemp seeds - protein-rich power food (100% natural)
Hemp seeds are characterised by an unusually high nutrient density. Rich in easily digestible protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fibre and lecithin in perfect balance for our body.
Hemp has an optimal functional ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids for humans, which is generally considered to be 4:1. Hemp seeds are therefore an excellent brain food, beautify the skin and promote the oxygen supply to the cells. Hemp seeds are a good food for the supply of EFS, linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid and the rare gamma-linolenic acid. These fatty acids are required for the production of numerous hormones and for cell renewal. They support the functions of the human body to maintain health and contribute to the normal development and growth of the organism. Omega-3 fatty acids are incorporated into the cell membrane and are necessary for its structure and function. Omega-3 fatty acids have an influence on blood lipid regulation. They contribute to health as part of a balanced diet.
An ideal food for athletes, as edible hemp builds muscle and increases endurance. Vegetarians also benefit from this rich and high-quality source of protein.
In contrast to whole seeds, hulled hemp seeds have a low fibre content.
Why we love hulled hemp seeds
Hemp seeds are a wonderful gift from nature. Not only are they one of the most nutritious foods on the planet, they are also the most environmentally friendly food ever! Hemp grows easily everywhere, requires no pesticides or herbicides and is suitable for the production of almost everything we need in our modern society: Clothes, paper, biodegradable plastic, fuel, cars, building insulation, just to name a few.
In addition, hemp seeds offer outstanding health benefits. They contain all the essential amino acids and essential fatty acids (including the rare gamma-linolenic acid!) that the body cannot produce itself and that are necessary for maintaining healthy human life.
Hardly any other plant source contains essential amino acids in such an easily digestible form or essential fatty acids in such an optimal ratio for humans.
Because shelled hemp seeds are so rich in important nutrients, we consume plenty of them every day. A feat that is easy to accomplish, as hulled hemp seeds are a delicious and versatile food.
SamaraNatura hulled hemp seeds
Our hulled hemp seeds are obtained from legal, officially authorised cultivars that are grown in Austria without pesticides or agrochemicals.
The omega-3 content in hemp seeds is higher when the plant grows in cooler climates, such as in Germany and Austria.
Use of hulled hemp seeds
Delicious on their own or sprinkled over salads, soups and other dishes; as an ingredient in smoothies, muesli and desserts.
Beginner or child (2-9 years): 15-30 grams per day
Teenager (10-18 years): 30-50 grams
Adults: 50-75 grams per day
Competitive athletes: up to 140 grams per day
Hemp seeds should only be eaten raw and should not be cooked with food.
As hemp seeds do not contain the enzyme inhibitors typical of many seeds, they can be eaten raw without having to soak them in water first. You can also drink hemp fresh in the form of milk by pureeing the peeled seeds in water and straining them if necessary (see recipe).

Atlantic dulse powder (red algae) in organic & raw food quality
We have been stocking a wide and high-quality range of organic Atlantic dulse for many years. This dulse powder from Ireland is the simplest form for detox smoothies. It can also be used to flavour food. We also offer dulse flakes from Ireland and dulse leaves cut from Galicia (Spain). Several sizes are available and you can benefit from graduated prices (5% quantity discount from 3 pieces).
Atlantic dulse or lobster seaweed (Palmaria palmata) is a red algae, soft with a bite and a strong purple-red colour. It does not need to be cooked or soaked. This makes dulse a great snack or a flavourful topping for potato and lentil dishes as well as salads. In recent years, dulse has also become popular as an ingredient in detox smoothies.
Dulse is extremely low in calories, fat- and cholesterol-free, rich in minerals as well as vitamin B6, fibre and protein. It has the highest iron content of all sea vegetables.
10g of dried dulse is equivalent to around 100g of fresh dulse.
Why use dulse powder
Dulse is one of the easiest sea vegetables to use. It tastes mild and spicy and adds flavour and colour to any dish. It is also one of the few purple foods and purple is the colour of spiritual consciousness, the third eye.
Irish dulse from wild collection
Our dulse is collected wild in the west of Ireland at low tide and harvested by hand. With the help of a cold air drying system, the organic seaweed is dried very gently and in raw food quality. The leaves are then ground into powder.
Variants: Due to the different consumption quantities and requirements, we offer dulse powder in 100g and 250g bags. The larger bag is approx. 16.5% cheaper.
Use of dulse
Dulse has been traditionally harvested for generations and can be eaten straight from the bag or used as an ingredient in smooties. Dulse is also suitable steamed over potatoes or crispy roasted as a snack or with salads and other dishes. As a raw food straight from the bag or in salads (can be rinsed beforehand if necessary). In soups and stews, ideal with pulses and cereal dishes. Add towards the end of the cooking time.
Ingredients
100% organic dulse / lobster kelp (Palmaria palmata).
Important notes
Due to the high mineral content, we recommend a daily ration of 5g. Particular caution is advised for people with thyroid disorders due to the iodine content.
These seaweeds may contain parts of crustaceans and grains of sand due to processing. Therefore, please check the leaves/flakes briefly before consumption.

Sea vegetables in general
Sea vegetables are wild plants of the ocean that grow on coral reefs and rocky coasts, usually in salt water. Sea vegetables are enjoyed in many coastal regions around the world and enrich most dishes with flavour and nutrients.
Sea vegetables contain almost all the minerals and trace elements that the sea has to offer! In general, sea vegetables are an excellent source of calcium, iodine and sodium, a very good source of folic acid and magnesium and a good source of iron, potassium, vitamin B2 and B5. They also contain vitamin K and trace elements such as selenium and chromium, which are often lacking in land vegetables due to depleted soils.
Sea vegetables are an ideal substitute for salt in a wide variety of dishes.

Organic barley grass juice powder in raw food quality (100% natural)
Why barley grass juice powder?
Barley grass juice powder is often referred to as the ultimate superfood powder! Our 100% pure barley grass juice powder (without any additives (including non-declared additives) or carriers such as maltodextrin) is a great and simple alternative to barley grass powder, as not everyone has the time or inclination to grow fresh grass and press it into juice. Simply mix with water or another favourite liquid and you have pure barley grass juice.
Health benefits of barley grass juice powder?
Barley grass juice contains many valuable vital substances and nutrients. The chlorophyll it contains also has a beneficial effect.
What makes our barley grass juice powder special?
For our organic barley grass juice powder, the juice is pressed from young barley grass and then gently processed into powder. It is 100% pure juice powder, without any additives or carriers such as maltodextrin.
Our organic barley grass juice powder comes from a pristine area of the USA, where it is harvested at the time of highest nutrient density. The producer has optimised the manufacturing process over many years and now guarantees raw food quality, i.e. the entire processing takes place below 42° C.
The rich green colour testifies to the abundance of chlorophyll (plant green).
Differences between barley grass juice powder and barley grass powder
The two forms of processing into grass powder and juice powder both have their respective advantages.
The main difference between grass powder and juice powder lies in the dietary fibre/fibre content. In the case of barley grass powder, this is a very high 35 to 40%. Dietary fibre has a satiating effect, stimulates digestion and prevents constipation. This barley grass juice powder, on the other hand, contains only 5.7% fibre. As a result, the nutrients and vital substances (including chlorophyll) are present in concentrated form.
Another important difference is the flavour. While the grass powder tastes like dried grass (slightly bitter), this barley grass juice powder is dominated by flavours such as spinach and green herbs as well as a salty aftertaste.
Both flavours can be easily distinguished visually. The barley grass powder has a much lighter green colour than the barley grass juice powder.
You can find all the information about barley grass powder here.
Tips for using barley grass juice powder in your everyday diet
Barley grass juice powder goes perfectly with water and many other liquids such as
smoothies
orange juice
coconut water
water kefir
Fresh fruit and vegetable juices
Recipe with barley grass juice powder
Example: Detox smoothie
1 tsp barley grass juice powder2 tbsp dried wild blueberries or 2 tbsp wild blueberry powder
1 tsp spirulina powder Hawaii, Taiwan or Austria
1 tbsp Atlantic dulse powder or 1 small handful of dulse flakes1 large bunch of fresh corianderJuice of 2 oranges
1 banana
Water as required
More recipes here.
Recommended intake
Initially ½ teaspoon daily, increase to ½ - 1 teaspoon 2-3 times daily as required. It is best to drink half an hour before meals.
Storage
Store in a cool, dark and dry place.As barley grass juice powder is spray-dried, it clumps more quickly than barley grass powder, which is air-dried. The clumping is caused by moisture absorption from the air. We recommend from our own experience: Always seal the pack airtight. Unfortunately, the zip of the bag sticks over time, which is why sealing clips are very practical. Pour some of the powder into a jar with a screw cap for easier handling. Store the bags/jars in a kitchen cupboard (dark) as far away from the cooker as possible (due to moisture during cooking). We do not recommend storing in the fridge, as condensation would occur. A constant room temperature is ideal.

Top quality linseed oil from Swiss organic linseed | Fresh, cold-pressed and unfiltered
The next linseed oil pressing will take place on Monday 19 May 2025. Please place your pre-order by Sunday evening 18.05.2025. Shipping will take place on Wednesday 21.05.2025 with Post Pack Priority, so delivery should take place on Thursday. You can find all the other order details below.
What makes our linseed oil special?
Very tasty: Freshly pressed linseed oil does not taste bitter at all (in the first few weeks), but has a mild nutty flavour
Organic: The brown organic linseed from producer Jakob Bachofner comes from his own fields in Fehraltorf
Pressed chilled: Due to the water cooling of the mill, the oil temperature remains at 28-32°C throughout the pressing process
Regional: Fehraltorf is only 10 kilometres away from our warehouse in Wetzikon. Shipping to your home is CO2-neutral with Swiss Post
Miron glass: The linseed oil is filled in high-quality bottles made of Miron glass because it offers the best protection of quality. A report by the ProSieben science magazine Galileo has also shown that many products have a longer shelf life and smell better than conventional glass. Watch the interesting report in the following video: Galileo - Video - Violet glass - ProSieben
Jakob Bachofner from Oelerei presses the linseed oil from organic linseed from his own fields in Fehraltorf very fresh and with a water-cooled press in raw food quality at 28-32°C - feel the difference. It is not filtered, but left to cool for 1 day so that the lees can settle. The linseed oil is then bottled, taken to the warehouse and dispatched on the same day. There may be a small amount of sediment (slightly darker in colour) at the bottom of the bottles. This can be consumed without hesitation.
Why is linseed oil so healthy?
With approx. 50% alpha-linolenic acid/omega 3, linseed oil is one of the most potent suppliers of this important fatty acid. Just 1 tablespoon of linseed oil covers the daily requirement of 2g alpha-linolenic acid for an adult.
Omega-3 fatty acids are of great importance for our metabolism. They are important building blocks of our cell membranes, have an anti-inflammatory effect, protect the cells against premature ageing and strengthen our immune defences. You can find more interesting information about omega-3 fatty acids in our health guide.
Food & for skin care: How to use linseed oil?
Fresh linseed oil is a real delicacy! Linseed oil goes perfectly with cold and warm dishes such as salads, potatoes and muesli. It can also be enjoyed pure (1 tablespoon a day). Linseed oil is also suitable for external use on very dry skin.
Recipes with linseed oil for inspiration
We have been enthusiastic linseed oil consumers ourselves for many years, which is why we are happy to list our favourite recipes here for your inspiration:

What is your favourite linseed oil recipe? Let us know and we'll be happy to add it to the list.
Freshly pressed linseed oil only for pre-orders
Due to its sensitivity to heat and short shelf life, we do not keep linseed oil in stock, but only accept pre-orders from September to June, which are then dispatched once a month. During the warmer months, the oil is dispatched with cooling pads.
Order process for freshly pressed linseed oil from Swiss linseed
To pre-order linseed oil, buy it online as normal, send us an email to info@samaranatura.ch or give us a quick call on 044 586 27 27. We place our order with Jakob Bachofner from the Oelerei on Monday morning. He presses the linseed oil on Monday. The freshly pressed organic linseed oil then has to rest for a day in the cold store for sedimentation (reduction of the lees).
On Wednesday morning, it is bottled and I immediately take the bottles to my social logistician in Wetzikon. He will dispatch all orders (linseed oil with any other items ordered) on Wednesday with Post Pack Priority (without CHF 2 surcharge), so that you should receive your order on Thursday of the same week.
Order deadlines autumn/winter/spring 2024/2025Sunday 18.05.2025Sunday 15.06.2025
Shelf life
Minimum shelf life after pressing is 3 months. Please always store the linseed oil in the refrigerator, even before opening the bottle for the first time. This slows down the very rapid oxidation of linseed oil. Our linseed oil is specially bottled in dark purple miron glass to protect it from sunlight and the associated premature oxidation.
There are 2 ways to further extend the shelf life: Very modern refrigerators sometimes have a 0-degree zone. Stored there, the linseed oil will keep for about a month longer or you can also freeze it, which extends the shelf life to 6 months.
Once opened, the bottle should be consumed within 3-4 weeks.
Important notes
Linseed oil and camelina oil are not the same thing. While linseed oil is pressed from linseed, camelina oil comes from camelina. Camelina oil has a longer shelf life, but at approx. 35% has a lower alpha-linolenic acid/omega 3 content.
Cold-pressed oils (except coconut oil) are sensitive to heat and are therefore mainly suitable for cold cooking. Toxic compounds can form when heated to high temperatures, e.g. frying.
Change of bottles
Due to the massive price increase of the Mironglas (approx. 40%) and the new closure system with plastic ball, Jakob Bachofner has been looking for alternatives. For the standard edible oil glass bottles, it would have been necessary to purchase a capping machine, which would not have been proportionate for the small quantities produced by the Oelerei in Fehraltorf. Now a BPA-free tinplate bottle in a black matt design from Germany has become the best alternative, see picture above left. The advantages over glass are the lower weight and lower energy consumption in production. In addition, the risk of breakage is significantly lower, which is why less stuffing material is required for shipping. Tinplate has a high recycling rate as it is collected together with aluminium at all material collection points. All other packaging options would have resulted in price increases. We are pleased that we are able to offer linseed oil at the existing prices at a time when almost everything is becoming more expensive. The new 500ml bottles will be introduced in December. With the December pressing, we will also be offering 250ml bottles for CHF 20. This size was requested several times and should be a good compromise between 100ml and 500ml. There are currently still enough of the 100ml Mironglas bottles in stock, which is why the changeover will not take place until spring 2024.

Compared to other oils, linseed oil has a very high proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Depending on the seed, it contains 10-30% linoleic acid (omega-6 fatty acid) and 40-70% alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3 fatty acid), which can be converted by the body into DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid).
Origin
Switzerland, chilled pressed by Jakob Bachofner in Fehraltorf with linseed from his own fields in Fehraltorf ZH.
Further use of the Miron bottles
In principle, the bottles made from the valuable Miron glass can be rinsed out and reused as desired. We recommend leaving the labels on, as they do not come off easily even after a wash in the dishwasher or with petrol.
The labels are not water-soluble because the bottles are stored in the refrigerator. Condensation forms when they are removed, which would then remove the label. In addition, a paper label would quickly look dirty if a drop of oil ran down it. According to feedback from the producer, the best way to remove the labels is with orange oil.
Local producer
Jakob Bachofner from Oelerei in Fehraltorf has been pressing our linseed oil once a month since summer 2021. In addition to the excellent quality, we appreciate the short distance of just 10 kilometres between the oil production facility and our warehouse in Wetzikon. This enables us to send you the linseed oil on the day of bottling (Wednesdays). It couldn't be quicker, unless you select "Pick up at warehouse" as the dispatch method and collect the linseed oil from the warehouse in person on Wednesday afternoons from 3.30 pm.
Jakob "Köbi" Bachofner produces all oils with a water-cooled oil mill, certified organic according to the Swiss Organic Farming Ordinance CH-BIO-086.
Here are a few pictures of the cultivation and harvesting of linseed from Fehraltorf.

New hemp protein powder with 65% protein content (100% natural)
Update: Sale of the current batch with best-before date 31 May 2025 with 20% discount for CHF 12 instead of CHF 19. The hemp protein powder can still be enjoyed for several months after this date.
The powder contains vegetable protein with all the essential amino acids and is therefore a complete source of protein, providing all the vital protein building blocks that the body cannot produce itself. Hemp protein powder is obtained from hemp seeds after oil pressing, which are then finely ground and sieved.
Why consume hemp protein powder?
Contains essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, fibre and lecithin in perfect balance for our body
Gluten and lactose free
Ideal component of a healthy diet and is therefore also popular with athletes, vegetarians and vegans
Particularly easy for the body to utilise (conversion of hemp proteins into immunoglobulins of the immune system): The proteins found in edible hemp have a very similar molecular structure to human proteins
Biological value of the protein in hemp: Comparable to that of eggs or meat, but free of cholesterol and unhealthy trans fatty acids
One of the most nutritious and environmentally friendly foods on the planet: Hemp grows easily anywhere, requires no pesticides or herbicides
What makes our hemp protein powder special?
The hemp seeds for our protein powder come from controlled organic cultivation. They are obtained from legal, officially authorised cultivars that are cultivated in Austria without pesticides or agrochemicals.
Obtained from hulled hemp seeds: As a result, our protein powder has one of the highest protein contents at 65%. The products of other suppliers generally contain between 45% and 50%.
There are also clear differences in colour and taste: while hemp protein from unpeeled hemp seeds has a green colour and smells distinctly of hemp, our powder is yellowish and has only a subtle hemp aroma.
How to integrate hemp protein into your daily diet?
Smoothies / juice / rice milk: add hemp protein powder to your drink
Muesli or yoghurt: sprinkle hemp protein powder over muesli or yoghurt
Baked goods: Use hemp protein powder to replace some of the flour in your baking recipes
Protein bars: Make your own protein bars by mixing hemp protein powder with nuts, seeds and fruit
Spreads: Add hemp protein powder to hummus, guacamole or other spreads
Use 1 to 3 tablespoons per day as required. This corresponds to approx. 10 - 30g of pure protein. Athletes usually consume their protein shake 30 minutes before and after training.

Organic chia seeds (100% natural) - the little power seeds
Chia seeds are an ancient superfood that was used by the Mayas, Aztecs and Incas as early as 3500 BC.
They come from the desert plant Salvia hispanica, which grows in southern Mexico. Chia means starch in the Mayan language and was considered "running food" because messengers could run all day long with the help of these tiny seeds.
Why consume organic chia seeds?
Easy to use: Almost unnoticed, the body gets an extra dose of nutrients and can absorb food much better. At the same time, it gets an extra dose of energy and more well-being for mind and soul.
Chia seeds contain many antioxidants that not only scavenge free radicals and highly reactive oxygen compounds. They are important for cell maintenance and function. They help to maintain cell function. The antioxidants also prevent the seeds from spoiling quickly.
The seeds are very filling as they absorb ten times their weight in water and form a gel.
Athletes all over the world now include chia as part of their diet during training sessions. Chia seeds are rich in high-quality proteins, calcium and omega-3 and have an optimal ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids.
Last but not least, chia is a very inexpensive, concentrated food. 1/3 cup of dry chia seeds makes 500g of chia gel. Depending on how much gel you use, this 500g will probably last you an average of four days. You really don't need more than 1-2 tablespoons of chia gel per day.
What makes our organic chia seeds special?
Highest quality
Cultivation without pesticides and agrochemicals
Processed without the use of heat
Purification only via a "shaking process"
Use in the daily diet
The most common way to eat chia is to soak the seeds first, which then turns into a jelly-like mass. The seeds can absorb a large amount of liquid very quickly, ten times their volume in less than 10 minutes.

Add 1/3 cup of seeds to 2 cups of water. Stir the mixture and place it in the fridge, tightly covered. A gel (approx. 500g) will form within 10 minutes and can be consumed immediately. A longer soaking time of several hours is advisable, as this makes the nutrients easier to utilise. Chia gel will keep for several days in the fridge and you can use some of it whenever you like. You can add it to smoothies, salad dressings, desserts and mueslis or simply eat it on its own.
Whole seeds
Sprinkle the dry seeds on salads or add to muesli mixes. You can also try grinding the seeds in a coffee grinder and adding the resulting chia flour to smoothies, soups, bread, etc.
Chia sprouts are used similarly to alfalfa sprouts in salads, sandwiches and other dishes.
As chia seeds absorb a lot of water, they can lead to dehydration in the body. It is therefore important to drink enough water or - even better - to use seeds that have already been soaked.
How much to eat
Based on the Food and Commodities Ordinance LGV - Novel Food, the maximum daily intake of chia seeds is 15g (or a maximum of 5% for use in bread products). This amount must not be exceeded.
