Bittere Aprikosenkerne in Bio- & Rohkostqualität | neu aus Pakistan
Warum bittere Aprikosenkerne konsumieren?
Die regelmässige Verwendung kleiner Mengen von bitteren Aprikosenkernen kann sich durchaus positiv auf die Gesundheit auswirken, denn Aprikosenkerne zeichnen sich nebst dem Gehalt an Amygdalin, insbesondere durch einen hohen Gehalt an Vitamin E, ein Antioxidans, sowie an ungesättigten Fettsäuren aus. Zudem versorgen bittere Aprikosenkerne den Körper mit Vitamin B3 (Niacin) und B9 (Folsäure), Magnesium, Phosphor, Mangan, Kalzium, Eisen, Kalium und Zink.
Da wir als Händler nur wenige, bestimmte Aussagen über gesundheitliche Wirkungen von Lebensmitteln machen dürfen, empfehlen wir Ihnen selber im Internet nach Infos über Mandeln zu recherchieren, u.a. zu finden auf Zentrum der Gesundheit.
Was macht unsere bittere Aprikosenkerne besonders?
Die Aprikosen reifen an wilden Aprikosen-Bäumen und teilweise kultivierte Bäumen in der Umgebung von Samarkand in Usbekistan heran. Das Gebiet ist in einem grösseren Umkreis Bio-zertifiziert und wird von den dort lebenden Bauern bewirtschaftet. Die Bauern in dieser Region arbeiten seit vielen Jahren nach den biologischen Anbaukriterien und sind sehr stolz auf ihren Beitrag zur Erhaltung der Natur.
Es ist allgemein bekannt, dass besonders in wildwachsenden Pflanzen die volle Kraft der Natur enthalten ist und sie so noch mehr dazu beitragen können, den Körper optimal mit Vitalstoffen zu versorgen.
Nach der sorgfältigen Ernte werden die Aprikosen gewaschen, halbiert und entkernt. Die Aprikosenkerne werden mithilfe einer sehr modernen und umweltfreundlichen Solartrocknungsmethode schonend getrocknet. Danach werden die Aprikosenkerne druckentwest und lasergereinigt.
Woher stammen diese bitteren Aprikosenkerne?
Diese bitteren Aprikosenkerne aus Pakistan sind von hervorragender Qualität, sehr knackig und bitter. Für die bitteren Aprikosenkerne werden wildwachsende Aprikosen und Aprikosen, welche viel Säure besitzen, verwendet.
Der Aprikosenbaum stammt ursprünglich wahrscheinlich aus Armenien und wird dort seit rund 6000 Jahren kultiviert. Heute werden Aprikosen v.a. rund ums Mittelmeer, in Usbekistan, Pakistan, der Türkei und Iran angebaut. In den Bergen von Usbekistan, Tibet, Nordindien und Nordpakistan wird traditionell eine kleine Wildsorte von Aprikosen, die Hunza-Aprikose, angebaut, die in sehr grossen Höhen bis zu 4000 m gedeiht.

Manufacturing
After harvesting, the organic Ashwagandha roots are carefully cleaned, crushed and then sun-dried. After quality control, the root pieces are ground into a fine powder.
Why we love Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha is one of the most important herbs in Ayurvedic teachings in India. As an adaptogen, it has a balancing and strengthening effect.
How to use
Take 1 teaspoon (3g) once a day with water, juices, smoothies or other drinks, preferably in the evening.
Tip: Lukewarm moon milk for sweet dreams!

Why consume Astragalus?
Astragalus powde (Astragalus membranaceus) is a food and is used as part of a balanced diet. For us, Astragalus is perfect on a raw diet, a vegetarian diet, and pretty much any diet.
It is best to do your own research on Astragalus. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to provide any further information here, since according to Swiss and EU food law, foods are not allowed to have any properties or effects that are not legally anchored.
What makes our Astragalus special?
SamaraNatura sources its organically grown Astragalus roots of the highest quality from China, where they receive the Ecocert organic seal at the point of cultivation. Unfortunately, herbs from China are often heavily contaminated with pesticides; This is another reason why organic cultivation and certification are so important to us. The roots are processed gently and at a low temperature so that all components are preserved. Our tragacanth powder is processed without heat.
The Importance of Astragalus
Astragalus has been used and appreciated by Asian peoples for thousands of years. Also known as Huang Qi or Mongolian Astragalus, this warming root is one of the 60 essential herbs in China. Astragalus is the root of one of the most important plants in China. The herbalists of China discovered and studied it over 2000 years ago.
Usage Tips
We've experimented with Astragalus and Fo-Ti (many-flowered knotweed) in both hot and cold drinks. This combination is really good, tastes wonderful and gives an energy boost to the body and mind from our experience.
The new batch of tragacanth powder is no longer sweet, but has a slightly bitter taste. Nevertheless, it can be stirred well into juices, smoothies, nut milk or any other beverage, whether hot or cold. For a hot drink, boil about 2.4 grams (1 teaspoon) of the ground, dried root in water for a few minutes and then brew the tea.

Barley grass JUICE powder - the concentrated version
Update: The barley grass juice powder is now available in a practical 1kg bag. The previous 125g, 250g and 500g sizes are also available.
For our organic barley grass juice powder, the juice from young barley grass is pressed and then gently processed into powder. It is 100% pure juice powder, without any additives or carriers such as maltodextrin.
What is the difference between barley grass powder and barley grass juice powder
Barley grass itself contains all the good nutrients and vital substances from green vegetables in a practical, concentrated and easily digestible form. 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 is the content of dietary fiber / fiber. In the case of barley grass powder, this is a very high 35 to 40%. Dietary fiber has a satiating effect, stimulates digestion and prevents constipation. In contrast, our barley grass juice powder only contains 5.7% fiber. As a result, the nutrients and vital substances (including chlorophyll) are available in a concentrated form.
Another important difference is the taste. While the grass powder tastes like dried grass (slightly tart), flavors such as spinach and green herbs and a salty finish dominate the juice powder.
Visually, both variants can be differentiated well. The grass powder has a much lighter green than the juice powder.
All further information about barley grass powder can be found here.
SamaraNatura barley grass juice powder
Our organic barley grass juice powder comes from a pristine area of the United States, where it is harvested at the time of highest nutrient density. The producer has optimized the processing process for many years and now guarantees raw food quality, i.e. all processing takes place below 42° C.
The rich green color testifies to the richness of chlorophyll (vegetable green).
Why we love barley grass juice powder
We love barley grass juice because it contains many valuable vital nutrients. The chlorophyll contained is also beneficial.
However, not everyone has the time and desire to grow fresh grass and squeeze it into juice. Our juice powder is a good and easy alternative. Simply mix with water and you have pure barley grass juice.
Use barley grass juice powder
Initially increase ½ tsp daily, if necessary increase to ½ - 1 tsp 2-3 times a day. It is best to drink half an hour before meals.
The 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

It is used by professional athletes all the way to the elderly in order to provide them with additional energy and stamina.It is with regret that we are unable to share with you more information about this product. Various Swiss legislation prevents us (and all other food business operators) from claiming that these products can offer any possible health benefits. We recommend you do your own research on the Internet about this product, - this is an example of a useful website Zentrum der Gesundheit (german).
Nutritional Profile
The synergy of Maca nutrients (naturally provided in the right proportion), assist the body to recover from different problems, overall providing balance and well being. Its action focuses mainly in the hypothalamus and pituitary glands, assisting the body in the production of hormones, thus providing hormonal balance and all the benefits derived from it.

Maca is rich in bio-available protein with an average of 11% per gram in a dry root.It has a higher concentration of calcium than milk which is essential for the nerves and circulatory system and the formation of bones, teeth, and vital heart functions.
WHY WE LOVE MACA
Maca plant is one of the most powerful plants on earth. We love it because it raises energy levels, combats mental and physical fatigue and stress. It makes us feel strong, energized, grounded, happy and prepared to face any challenge. Its energy is instant yet long lasting, and we feel active and vibrant all day long, without over stimulating our bodies. Beside all that, Maca has a pleasant malty taste and can be used in many different ways.

Wild organic Blueberries (Bilberries) - antioxidants and pleasure combined
Update: All sizes (125g, 250g and 1kg bags) are available. In addition, we also have organic bilberry powder from Bosnia in our product range.
There is something magical about wild blueberries, these dark purple, almost black mini berries with a fascinating taste that grow almost unnoticed on dainty bushes in the mountain forests! And they are packed full of healthy nutrients like no other fruit - a real super fruit! And the childhood memories - hours of wandering through light coniferous forests across the blueberry bushes and eagerly collecting the little jewels.
These delicious and nutritious dried wild blueberries make a great snack. They have a wide range of important nutrients and are particularly rich in vitamins C, E and B6 as well as iron, fiber 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 protectants". According to researchers from Iran, this means that they can literally protect our brain from degeneration, neurotoxicity and oxidative stress.
What is special about a fruit is its high iron content, which raises energy levels through the production of 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).
Blueberry extract skin care products are becoming increasingly popular around the world. The wide range of vitamins and minerals have been reported to help 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.
Wild blueberries vs cultivated blueberries
They look almost the same. Both are blue, round and taste great. But what are the differences between these two berries?
Blueberry has become a universal name for blue-colored berries of the Vaccinium genus, but it is good to know the difference between cultivated blueberries (often called American blueberries) and wild blueberries (European blueberries).
While cultivated blueberries are grown in various locations around the world, wild blueberries grow on small shrubs mainly in the northern parts of the northern hemisphere.
Wild blueberries compared to cultivated blueberries have a higher vitamin content and a much higher content of anthocyanins.
The anthocyanins in the wild bilberry are visible to the eye as blue and red pigments in the pulp, which is juicy and bluish-purple. The cultivated blueberry, on the other hand, has an almost transparent white and somewhat floury pulp.
The wild blueberry has 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 World War II when pilots noticed that their night vision was better during bombing after eating blueberry jam.
Why we love wild blueberries
Most of the dried wild blueberries on the market have added sugar and preservatives. We prefer our 100% pure and raw food quality, with their wonderful natural taste. Our wild blueberries have a dark purple, almost black color, which indicates the quality and purity of the product. In addition, nowadays almost only garden blueberries (American blueberries) are available from cultivation, which are simply not as good and significantly less rich in vital substances than wild blueberries.
Wild blueberries from SamaraNatura and Pearls of Samarkand
Our wild blueberries are dark purple and quite dry and crispy, with a sweet and sour taste, fruity and very aromatic. They are 100% natural, carefully processed and dried and without preservatives, colorings, sweeteners or other unnatural additives.
Different sizes and origins
Organic wild-collected blueberries are very hard to come by. The bags originating from Bosnia are sold out and unfortunately the new batch had to be returned completely due to an infestation. We hope to be able to offer the new harvest in autumn 2022. In the meantime we were able to buy a small stock from Ukraine. These wild blueberries come from the Lemberg/Lviv region in western Ukraine, near the Polish border. This is the 2021 harvest, i.e. before the war.
Usage of Wild Blueberries
Thanks to their intense, typical blueberry taste, they are perfect as an addition to muesli, smoothies and dessert topping. For smoothie recipe, we recommend you soak the wild blueberries the night before, so they plump up and are easier to blend up with your other smoothie ingredients. They also fit well into yogurt (also vegan coconut yogurt) and honey. A real treat!

Cacao Nibs Criollo – Chocolate Magic
Cacao nibs or chips are cacao beans which were peeled and broken into small pieces. Our cacao nibs are from one of the finest cacao varieties and 100% raw and unprocessed. Our premium cacao is grown by small farmers in the Amazon rainforest under semi-wild conditions.
Cacao has all the health benefits of chocolate but without the high sugar content and additives found in commercial chocolate. Raw cacao contains an abundance of antioxidants, and the combination of stimulating substances (serotonin, dopamine, anandamide and phenethylamine) has mood lifting effects and promotes in us feelings of well-being and joy. Cacao is also rich in magnesium and sulfur, the beauty mineral.
Cacao nibs taste less bitter than cacao powder, since they still contain the entire share of the cacao butter (approx. 55%), as also cacao paste does.
Why we love Cacao
The cacao bean is an amazing food given to us by Mother Nature. The Aztecs considered cacao as a gift of God and used it not only as an offering, but also as a means of payment.
It is estimated that raw cacao contains approx. 300 substances and it is considered as one the foods richest in antioxidants! Therefore cacao can significantly help to protect our body cells from free radicals and premature aging.
Cacao has the highest magnesium content of all foods. Magnesium is essential for the heart, brain, to calm and relax nerves and muscles and to build bones and cartilages. In conjunction with other ingredients cacao is an ideal brain food and supports mental performance, concentration and attention.
Cacao contains a combination of substances which affect our emotions stimulating feelings of well-being and joy.
And cacao is rich in sulfur, which promotes strong nails and healthy hair and beautifies the skin.
SamaraNatura Cacao Nibs
Our cacao nibs are 100% raw and unprocessed. They are made from Criollo cacao from Peru, which is one of the best and rarest varieties in the world. Our fine cocoa is cultivated without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers.
Fine cacao of premium quality has a share of only 5-10% of the world's cacao production. Fine cacao grows under similar and often nearly same conditions as in nature, since cacao trees do not like full sun and thrive best close to high rainforest trees. On the contrary the commercial Forastero cacao is typically cultivated in monoculture plantations.
As the name indicates, fine cacao has a better, more exquisite flavour which is less bitter than the taste of commercial cacao. Criollo beans are slightly fermented which enhances their typical cacao aroma.
Cacao nibs, which are cacao beans peeled and broken into small pieces, taste less bitter than the beans.
The purity of our organic, fair trade certified Criollo Cacao is void of mycotoxins, mould and yeast, and thus prevents you from experiencing the jitters associated with caffeine foods or beverages.
Use
On its own as a snack or sprinkle on cereals and fruit salad. Add cacao nibs to desserts and smoothies. They taste particularly good together with goji berries and nuts.
Cacao nibs are convenient to take for journeys and on travels as they do not melt as quickly as chocolate does when exposed to heat. If you prefer more sweetness, you can dip the cacao nibs in agave syrup or honey.

Organic cedar nuts from Siberia - a true treasure of nature
Update: In order to promote sales of the current batch with best before date 31.08.2024, we are offering a 30% discount on all size versions (250g, 500g, 1kg).
For centuries, the inhabitants of Siberia have valued the widespread cedar (Pinus sibirica), a stone pine, not only as a source of valuable wood, but also for the tasty and extremely nutritious seeds that are stuck in the cedar cones.
Cedar nuts contain about 55% valuable unsaturated fatty acids, especially linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid as well as the rare pinoleic/pinolenic acid. They are rich in tocopherols (vitamin E) as antioxidants and high-quality proteins (approx. 17%). They also contain many minerals (especially magnesium, potassium, phosphorus), trace elements (copper, manganese, zinc), vitamins (K and B) and flavonoids.
Cedar nuts taste similar to other pine nuts, but a little sweeter and stronger. Unlike almost all commercially available pine nuts, our raw cedar nuts are not heat treated.
Why are cedar nuts so valuable
The Siberian pine is a true treasure of Siberian nature, forming vast areas of pristine forests throughout northern Russia. The huge, magnificent trees (up to 40 m tall) grow slowly and the first seed cones do not appear until the trees are about 30 years old. They are among the longest-lived tree species there are, as they can live 300 to 800 years!
The evergreen cedar is a storage place of cosmic light energy, in its millions of needles it catches the energy rays from the cosmic space during its long lifetime. Thousands of years ago, ancient peoples valued the properties of the cedar tree, which they called "the eternal". The twigs were used to prepare a vitamin drink, the resin to heal wounds and ulcers, and the seeds and their oil helped weather the long, harsh Siberian winters.
Cedar nuts and their oil are also very good for skin care and regeneration.
SamaraNatura Organic Cedar Nuts
Almost all commercially available pine nuts are heat treated to make them last longer. Our cedar nuts, on the other hand, are completely untreated, which means that the wide range of nutrients is preserved. They come from the Lake Baikal region in Siberia and are harvested by hand.
Use
Cedar nuts taste delicious on their own as a snack or together with dried fruit and other nuts, with goji berries and cocoa nibs. They can be sprinkled over salads and other dishes, or made into mayonnaise, creams and milk. Cedar nuts add a certain elegance to your kitchen.
We recommend keeping the cedar nuts in the fridge after opening, especially in summer.

Coconut blossom sugar – Deliciously sweetener
Coconut blossom sugar is derived from the blossom nectar of coconut trees and has a wonderful caramel-like flavour. It is a great, mineral-rich alternative to cane sugar and contains a lot of potassium, magnesium, zinc and iron. Moreover, a natural source of vitamin B1, B2, B3, B6, C and amino acids (especially glutamic acid).
Coconut sugar is extremely low glycaemic (GI=35) and thus provides a slow release of energy and protects blood glucose levels. This is promising news for those concerned with health issues such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease, cancer, and gallstones.
Our coconut palm sugar is made from 100% coconut nectar from Coco Nucifera. For the health conscious consumers and diabetics, it can be considered to be one of the best sweeteners.
Why we love Coconut Sugar
SamaraNatura coconut palm sugar tastes very similar to brown sugar, but better! It has a rich, sugary, sweet caramel flavour that enhances the flavour of whatever you use it in. Many chefs praise how coconut sugar made their culinary treats more flavourful and delicious.
Best of all, coconut sugar has a much lower glycaemic index compared to other sweeteners, which means it produces a slow energy release, which sustains the human body through your daily activities without regular sugar highs and lows.
And we love the fact that this sweetener is one of the few truly sustainable ingredients in the world! In terms of people, health and environment, coconut sweeteners provide benefit every step of the way. Lifting communities out of poverty, bringing much needed nutrients into the human body in a mode (sweets) that often does just the opposite, and in preserving rainforest, protecting fragile tropical biomes and indeed promoting the return of devastated land back to balance.
SamaraNatura Coconut Sugar
Our coconut blossom sugar is 100% natural, organic, unbleached, free from additives and artificial flavouring. Only sap from coconut trees is harvested, this is not palm sugar where other palm varieties would be used and compromise the exquisite quality. Our coconut sugar is a sustainable product and supports local communities and families in Indonesia.
Please note that some palm sugar on the market are also mixed with cane sugar and other malt-based ingredients. Our coconut sugar is pure, unadulterated coconut palm sugar made from 100% coconut nectar from Coco Nucifera. Coconut palm sugars are not produced from the same palm species as is used for the production of palm oil.
Our granulated coconut palm nectar is not raw. By raw, we mean processed at temperatures under 42°C.
We prefer to have higher quality and let remove as much moisture from the coconut sugar as possible. This results in a drier final product if compared to other coconut sugars in the market. We feel this allows more flexibility for the end user and means you are not buying water weight.
Use of Coconut Sugar
Coconut sugar melts easy in hot and cold beverages, is delicious in desserts, smoothies, and pastries. A small spoonful of our rich caramel coconut sugar is a healthy treat to overcome cravings and gives instant energy.
Cocnut sugar can be used 1:1 as a replacement for cane sugar in any recipe.

Wild organic Blueberries (Bilberries) - antioxidants and pleasure combined
Update: All sizes (125g, 250g and 1kg bags) are available. In addition, we also have organic bilberry powder from Bosnia in our product range.
There is something magical about wild blueberries, these dark purple, almost black mini berries with a fascinating taste that grow almost unnoticed on dainty bushes in the mountain forests! And they are packed full of healthy nutrients like no other fruit - a real super fruit! And the childhood memories - hours of wandering through light coniferous forests across the blueberry bushes and eagerly collecting the little jewels.
These delicious and nutritious dried wild blueberries make a great snack. They have a wide range of important nutrients and are particularly rich in vitamins C, E and B6 as well as iron, fiber 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 protectants". According to researchers from Iran, this means that they can literally protect our brain from degeneration, neurotoxicity and oxidative stress.
What is special about a fruit is its high iron content, which raises energy levels through the production of 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).
Blueberry extract skin care products are becoming increasingly popular around the world. The wide range of vitamins and minerals have been reported to help 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.
Wild blueberries vs cultivated blueberries
They look almost the same. Both are blue, round and taste great. But what are the differences between these two berries?
Blueberry has become a universal name for blue-colored berries of the Vaccinium genus, but it is good to know the difference between cultivated blueberries (often called American blueberries) and wild blueberries (European blueberries).
While cultivated blueberries are grown in various locations around the world, wild blueberries grow on small shrubs mainly in the northern parts of the northern hemisphere.
Wild blueberries compared to cultivated blueberries have a higher vitamin content and a much higher content of anthocyanins.
The anthocyanins in the wild bilberry are visible to the eye as blue and red pigments in the pulp, which is juicy and bluish-purple. The cultivated blueberry, on the other hand, has an almost transparent white and somewhat floury pulp.
The wild blueberry has 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 World War II when pilots noticed that their night vision was better during bombing after eating blueberry jam.
Why we love wild blueberries
Most of the dried wild blueberries on the market have added sugar and preservatives. We prefer our 100% pure and raw food quality, with their wonderful natural taste. Our wild blueberries have a dark purple, almost black color, which indicates the quality and purity of the product. In addition, nowadays almost only garden blueberries (American blueberries) are available from cultivation, which are simply not as good and significantly less rich in vital substances than wild blueberries.
Wild blueberries from SamaraNatura and Pearls of Samarkand
Our wild blueberries are dark purple and quite dry and crispy, with a sweet and sour taste, fruity and very aromatic. They are 100% natural, carefully processed and dried and without preservatives, colorings, sweeteners or other unnatural additives.
Different sizes and origins
Organic wild-collected blueberries are very hard to come by. The bags originating from Bosnia are sold out and unfortunately the new batch had to be returned completely due to an infestation. We hope to be able to offer the new harvest in autumn 2022. In the meantime we were able to buy a small stock from Ukraine. These wild blueberries come from the Lemberg/Lviv region in western Ukraine, near the Polish border. This is the 2021 harvest, i.e. before the war.
Usage of Wild Blueberries
Thanks to their intense, typical blueberry taste, they are perfect as an addition to muesli, smoothies and dessert topping. For smoothie recipe, we recommend you soak the wild blueberries the night before, so they plump up and are easier to blend up with your other smoothie ingredients. They also fit well into yogurt (also vegan coconut yogurt) and honey. A real treat!

Shelled hemp seeds - protein rich nutrition
Hemp seeds are characterized by an unusually high nutrient density. Rich in easily digestible protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fiber and lecithin in perfect balance for our body.
Hemp has an optimal human function ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids, which is generally regarded as 4: 1. Hemp seeds are thus an excellent brain food, beautify the skin and promote the oxygen supply of the cells. Hemp seeds are a good food for the supply of EFS, with linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid and the rare gamma-linolenic acid. These fatty acids are needed for the production of numerous hormones and 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 their construction and their function. Omega-3 fatty acids have an influence on blood lipid regulation. They contribute to health within a balanced diet.
An ideal food for athletes, as edible Muscle builds and strengthens endurance. Vegetarians also benefit from this rich and high-quality protein source.
Shelled (also called peeled or hulled) hemp seeds, in contrast to whole seeds, have a low fiber content.
Why we love shelled hemp seeds
Hemp seeds are a wonderful gift of nature. They are not only one of the most nutritious foods on the planet, but also the most environmentally friendly food ever! Hemp grows everywhere without problems, does not require pesticides or herbicides and is suitable for the production of almost everything we need in our modern society: clothing, paper, biodegradable plastic, fuel, cars, building insulation, just to name a few.
In addition, hemps provide excellent health benefits. They contain all essential amino acids and essential fatty acids (including the rare gamma-linoleic acid!) Which the body can not produce by itself and which are necessary for the health of human life.
Hardly any other plant source contains essential amino acids in so easily digestible form or the essential fatty acids in a ratio so optimal for human beings!
Because shelled hemp seeds are so rich in important nutrients, we take them daily to us in abundant quantity. A feat that is easy to accomplish since peeled hemp seeds are a delicious and versatile food.
SamaraNatura shelled hemp seeds
SamaraNatura Hemp seeds are obtained from legal, officially approved cultivars cultivated in Austria without pesticides and agrochemicals.
The omega-3 content in hemp seed is higher when the plant grows in a cooler climate, as in Germany and Austria.
Use shelled hemp seeds

Dulse - Many minerals & trace elements
Update: The new batch of Dulse flakes is again from our Spanish supplier, whose Dulse flakes are saltier, a bit softer and significantly larger (1-3cm instead of 0.5-1cm) -> on the right in the picture.
Dulse (Palmaria palmata) is a red algae, soft and chewy, with a distinctive taste and a rich purple/red colour. It does not need to be cooked or soaked. So Dulse is a great snack, which you can eat directly from the bag.
Dulse is extremely low-calorie, fat- and cholesterol-free, in addition to minerals also rich in vitamin B6, fiber and proteins. It has the highest iron content of all sea vegetables.
40g Dulse dried corresponds to about 400g fresh Dulse.
Why we love Dulse
Dulse is one of the easiest seaweeds to incorporate in your diet. It has a very mild taste and adds depth and colour to any dish. It is one of the few purple foods found in our diets. Purple is the colour of spiritual awareness, the colour of the third eye.
Algaran Dulse
Our sea vegetables are wild harvested and hand-picked from the clean waters off North West Donegal (Ireland). They are gently dried using a cool air process, and brought to you fresh and raw.
ALGAMAR Dulse from Spain
The algae are from the Atlantic coast of Galicia, in northwestern Spain. The sustainably harvested, wild-growing organic algae are gently dried at low temperatures. Due to the raw food quality, the valuable ingredients are optimally preserved.
Use
Dulse has been traditionally harvested for generations and can be eaten straight from the package. It is also great steamed over potatoes, or toasted or grilled till crisp and eaten as a snack, with salads or other dishes.
Sea Vegetables in general
Sea vegetables or seaweed are wild ocean plants found on coral reefs or rocky areas, growing mainly in marine salt waters. Sea vegetables are enjoyed daily as staple and healing foods in many coastal parts of the world. Small amounts of sea veggies add a rich flavour and enhance the nutritional value of most dishes.
Sea vegetables offer the broadest range of minerals of any food, containing virtually all the minerals found in the ocean! They are an excellent source of calcium, iodine and sodium; a very good source of folic acid and magnesium, a good source of iron, potassium, B2 and B5. They also contain vitamin K and trace minerals like selenium and chromium that can be lacking in our land-grown foods due to soil depletion.
Regular, long-term dietary inclusion is reputed to help regulate metabolism and energy, stimulate the immune system, soothe the digestive tract, cleanse the blood, maintain healthy cellular function and support the proper functioning of the endocrine glands, especially the thyroid.
Sea vegetables are a perfect substitute for salt in the diet.

Flaxseed oil from Swiss organic flaxseed: freshly and cold-pressed and unfiltered
Update: Pre-order now for the next pressing on May 13th, 2024. 250ml and 500ml are filled into BPA-free tin bottles (black matt design). The 100ml remains in the familiar Miron glass bottle for several months.
The next linseed oil pressing will take place on Monday 13. May 2024. Please place your pre-order by Sunday evening 12. Mai. Shipping will be on Wednesday 15. Mai with Post Pack Priority, so delivery should be on Thursday. Below you will find all other order data. Flaxseed oil is one of our favorite products because:
Very tasty: Freshly pressed flaxseed oil does not taste bitter at all (in the first weeks), but rather has a slight nutty taste.
Organic: Producer Jakob Bachofner's brown organic flax seeds come from their own fields in Fehraltorf.
Cold pressed: Due to mill water cooling, the oil temperature remains at 28-32°C throughout the pressing.
Regional: Fehraltorf is only 10 km from our warehouse in Wetzikon. Home delivery is CO2 neutral with Swiss Post.
Why is flaxseed oil so healthy?
With approximately 50% alpha-linolenic acid/omega 3, flaxseed oil is one of the most potent suppliers of this important fatty acid. Just 1 tablespoon of flaxseed oil covers the daily requirement of 2 g of 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, they have an anti-inflammatory effect, protect cells against premature aging and strengthen the immune system. You can find more interesting information about omega-3 fatty acids in our health guide.
Use
Fresh flaxseed oil is a real delight! Jakob Bachofner of the Oelerei presses flaxseed oil from organic flax seeds from his own fields in Fehraltorf freshly and with a press cooled with raw food grade water at 28-32°C - feel the difference. It is not filtered, but left in the refrigerator for 1 day so that the cloudy matter can settle. The flaxseed oil is then bottled, transported to the warehouse and shipped the same day. It is possible that very little cloudy material (it is a little darker) settles at the bottom of the bottle. It can be consumed without hesitation.
Linseed oil goes perfectly with cold and lukewarm dishes such as salad, potatoes and muesli. It can also be enjoyed pure (1 tablespoon daily). Linseed oil is also suitable for external use on very dry skin.
Linseed oil favorite recipes
We ourselves have been enthusiastic flaxseed oil consumers for many years, which is why we are happy to list our favorite recipes for inspiration:

Ordering process for freshly pressed flaxseed oil from Swiss flaxseed
To pre-order, buy the flaxseed oil as usual online, send us an email to info@samaranatura.ch or give us a quick call on 044 586 27 27. On Monday morning we place our order with Jakob Bachofner from the Oelerei. He presses the flaxseed oil on Monday. Then the freshly pressed organic flaxseed oil has to rest for a day in cold storage for sedimentation (lowering of turbid matter).
The bottles are filled on Wednesday morning and I immediately bring the bottles to our social logistician in Wetzikon. He sends all orders (flaxseed oil with any other items ordered) on Wednesday with Post Pack Priority (without a SFR 2 surcharge), so you should receive your order on Thursday of the same week.
Freshly pressed flaxseed oil only for pre-orders
Due to the sensitivity to heat and the short shelf life, we do not keep flaxseed oil in stock, but only accept pre-orders from September to June, which are then carried out once a month. In the warm months, shipping is done with cooling pads.
Size variants and prices
The organic flaxseed oil can be ordered in 3 different sizes:
100ml for SFR 10.- resp. from 3 pieces SFR 9.50250ml for SFR 20.- resp. from 3 pieces SFR 19.-

Order deadlines 1th semester 2024
Sunday May 12th, 2024Sunday June 9th, 2024
Durability
Shelf life after pressing is 3 months. Please always keep the flaxseed oil in the refrigerator, even before opening the bottle for the first time. This slows down the oxidation that occurs very quickly in flaxseed oil. Our flaxseed oil is specially packaged in dark violet Miron glass to protect it from sunlight and the associated premature oxidation.
There are 2 options for extending the shelf life: Very modern refrigerators sometimes have a 0-degree zone. Stored there, the flaxseed oil can be kept for about a month longer, or you can freeze it, which extends the shelf life to 6 months.
Once opened, the bottle should be consumed within 3-4 weeks.
Important instructions
Flaxseed oil and camelina oil are not the same. While flaxseed oil is pressed from flaxseed, camelina oil comes from camelina. Camelina oil has a longer shelf life, but at around 35% it has a lower proportion of alpha-linolenic acid/omega 3.
Cold-pressed oils (except coconut oil) are heat-sensitive and are therefore mainly suitable for cold dishes. Toxic compounds can form when heated to high temperatures, e.g. when roasting.

Compared to other oils, linseed oil has a very high proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Depending on the seed, it is 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 flaxseed from our own fields in Fehraltorf ZH.
New producer with pictures
After our former producer unfortunately had to go out of business, we started looking for a new solution in the summer of 2021. There were various options with high-quality producers of chilled-pressed organic oils, but in the end we found the most suitable alternative in Jakob Bachofner from the Oelerei in Fehraltorf. The main reason is the short distance of just 10 kilometers between the oil production and our warehouse in Wetzikon. This enables us to deliver the flaxseed oil to you even one day earlier/fresher - it couldn't be faster. Jakob produces high-quality oils, certified organic according to the Swiss organic regulation CH-BIO-086. Here are a few pictures of the cultivation and harvesting of the flaxseed from Fehraltorf.

Barley grass JUICE powder - the concentrated version
Update: The barley grass juice powder is now available in a practical 1kg bag. The previous 125g, 250g and 500g sizes are also available.
For our organic barley grass juice powder, the juice from young barley grass is pressed and then gently processed into powder. It is 100% pure juice powder, without any additives or carriers such as maltodextrin.
What is the difference between barley grass powder and barley grass juice powder
Barley grass itself contains all the good nutrients and vital substances from green vegetables in a practical, concentrated and easily digestible form. 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 is the content of dietary fiber / fiber. In the case of barley grass powder, this is a very high 35 to 40%. Dietary fiber has a satiating effect, stimulates digestion and prevents constipation. In contrast, our barley grass juice powder only contains 5.7% fiber. As a result, the nutrients and vital substances (including chlorophyll) are available in a concentrated form.
Another important difference is the taste. While the grass powder tastes like dried grass (slightly tart), flavors such as spinach and green herbs and a salty finish dominate the juice powder.
Visually, both variants can be differentiated well. The grass powder has a much lighter green than the juice powder.
All further information about barley grass powder can be found here.
SamaraNatura barley grass juice powder
Our organic barley grass juice powder comes from a pristine area of the United States, where it is harvested at the time of highest nutrient density. The producer has optimized the processing process for many years and now guarantees raw food quality, i.e. all processing takes place below 42° C.
The rich green color testifies to the richness of chlorophyll (vegetable green).
Why we love barley grass juice powder
We love barley grass juice because it contains many valuable vital nutrients. The chlorophyll contained is also beneficial.
However, not everyone has the time and desire to grow fresh grass and squeeze it into juice. Our juice powder is a good and easy alternative. Simply mix with water and you have pure barley grass juice.
Use barley grass juice powder
Initially increase ½ tsp daily, if necessary increase to ½ - 1 tsp 2-3 times a day. It is best to drink half an hour before meals.
The barley grass juice powder goes perfectly with water and many other liquids such as
Smoothies

Bittere Aprikosenkerne in Bio- & Rohkostqualität | neu aus Pakistan
Warum bittere Aprikosenkerne konsumieren?
Die regelmässige Verwendung kleiner Mengen von bitteren Aprikosenkernen kann sich durchaus positiv auf die Gesundheit auswirken, denn Aprikosenkerne zeichnen sich nebst dem Gehalt an Amygdalin, insbesondere durch einen hohen Gehalt an Vitamin E, ein Antioxidans, sowie an ungesättigten Fettsäuren aus. Zudem versorgen bittere Aprikosenkerne den Körper mit Vitamin B3 (Niacin) und B9 (Folsäure), Magnesium, Phosphor, Mangan, Kalzium, Eisen, Kalium und Zink.
Da wir als Händler nur wenige, bestimmte Aussagen über gesundheitliche Wirkungen von Lebensmitteln machen dürfen, empfehlen wir Ihnen selber im Internet nach Infos über Mandeln zu recherchieren, u.a. zu finden auf Zentrum der Gesundheit.
Was macht unsere bittere Aprikosenkerne besonders?
Die Aprikosen reifen an wilden Aprikosen-Bäumen und teilweise kultivierte Bäumen in der Umgebung von Samarkand in Usbekistan heran. Das Gebiet ist in einem grösseren Umkreis Bio-zertifiziert und wird von den dort lebenden Bauern bewirtschaftet. Die Bauern in dieser Region arbeiten seit vielen Jahren nach den biologischen Anbaukriterien und sind sehr stolz auf ihren Beitrag zur Erhaltung der Natur.
Es ist allgemein bekannt, dass besonders in wildwachsenden Pflanzen die volle Kraft der Natur enthalten ist und sie so noch mehr dazu beitragen können, den Körper optimal mit Vitalstoffen zu versorgen.
Nach der sorgfältigen Ernte werden die Aprikosen gewaschen, halbiert und entkernt. Die Aprikosenkerne werden mithilfe einer sehr modernen und umweltfreundlichen Solartrocknungsmethode schonend getrocknet. Danach werden die Aprikosenkerne druckentwest und lasergereinigt.
Woher stammen diese bitteren Aprikosenkerne?
Diese bitteren Aprikosenkerne aus Pakistan sind von hervorragender Qualität, sehr knackig und bitter. Für die bitteren Aprikosenkerne werden wildwachsende Aprikosen und Aprikosen, welche viel Säure besitzen, verwendet.
Der Aprikosenbaum stammt ursprünglich wahrscheinlich aus Armenien und wird dort seit rund 6000 Jahren kultiviert. Heute werden Aprikosen v.a. rund ums Mittelmeer, in Usbekistan, Pakistan, der Türkei und Iran angebaut. In den Bergen von Usbekistan, Tibet, Nordindien und Nordpakistan wird traditionell eine kleine Wildsorte von Aprikosen, die Hunza-Aprikose, angebaut, die in sehr grossen Höhen bis zu 4000 m gedeiht.

Der Verzehr einer grösseren Anzahl Kerne kann zu einer Blausäurevergiftung führen. Symptome einer Blausäurevergiftung entwickeln sich innerhalb von wenigen Minuten (15-60 Minuten nach dem Verzehr) und sind starke Kopfschmerzen, Schwindel, Übelkeit, Erbrechen, Herzrasen, rosige Hautfarbe, Erstickungsgefühle sowie Bittermandelgeruch der Ausatemluft. Im Falle von Vergiftungssymptomen im Zusammenhang mit dem Konsum bitteren Aprikosenkernen sollte umgehend ein Arzt oder Tox Info Suisse kontaktiert werden.

HISTORY AND TRADITIONAL USE
Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a hearty root vegetable grown in the high Andes of Peru. Cultivated since pre-Incan times, it has been a dietary staple for the indigenous peoples of the Andes for thousands of years as a source of energy and endurance.In our modern world, the Maca root is still consumed up to 3 times a day by Peruvians as well as other people from all around the world. It is used by professional athletes all the way to the elderly in order to provide them with additional energy and stamina.It is with regret that we are unable to share with you more information about this product. Various Swiss legislation prevents us (and all other food business operators) from claiming that these products can offer any possible health benefits. We recommend you do your own research on the Internet about this product, - this is an example of a useful website Zentrum der Gesundheit (german).
Nutritional Profile
The synergy of Maca nutrients (naturally provided in the right proportion), assist the body to recover from different problems, overall providing balance and well being. Its action focuses mainly in the hypothalamus and pituitary glands, assisting the body in the production of hormones, thus providing hormonal balance and all the benefits derived from it.
It is an excellent strength and stamina enhancer as well as a libido-boosting superfood. Helps to rebuild weak immune systems, re-mineralize poorly nourished bodies, as well as increase energy and endurance.Maca is rich in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, iron, zinc, iodine, copper, selenium and others. It is also rich in vitamins B1, B2, C and E. Maca is rich in bio-available protein with an average of 11% per gram in a dry root.It has a higher concentration of calcium than milk which is essential for the nerves and circulatory system and the formation of bones, teeth, and vital heart functions.
WHY WE LOVE MACA
Maca plant is one of the most powerful plants on earth. We love it because it raises energy levels, combats mental and physical fatigue and stress. It makes us feel strong, energized, grounded, happy and prepared to face any challenge. Its energy is instant yet long lasting, and we feel active and vibrant all day long, without over stimulating our bodies. Beside all that, Maca has a pleasant malty taste and can be used in many different ways.
