Goji berries support a happy and active life, which is why goji berries are also called lucky berries in China. Why eat goji berries?The delicious bright red goji berries (Lycium) are one of the most nutritious fruits on the planet. The goji berry is not only a true superfruit, but it also tastes delicious and can be consumed very easily and in many ways. They are a source of complete protein with 18 amino acids, contain up to 21 trace elements, B vitamins, polysaccharides and much more. Gojis have more vitamin C than oranges, more beta-carotene than carrots and more iron than a steak! What makes our goji berries special? Our goji berries are grown in the fertile valleys of Ningxia Province in China without the use of pesticides and agrochemicals. There, on their native soil, the berries ripen on the bush, are harvested in the summer months and dried at low temperatures to preserve as many nutrients as possible. The berries are dried to a water content of 10-14% for a soft texture and can be rehydrated by simply soaking if required. Our pure goji berries are raw food quality, vegan and organically grown. How to use goji berries? Goji berries have a mildly spicy flavour that is slightly sweet and sour. They are similar in shape and texture to sultanas and like sultanas, goji berries can be eaten on their own or used as an ingredient in muesli, mixtures of nuts and other dried fruits, whole fruits and desserts. You can also add the berries to tea, juice, smoothie or soup, or make your own goji juice by soaking the berries in water.

Dried goji berries can be kept for well over a year if stored correctly. Note: A common misconception about superfoods and herbs is that there is a standard dosage. We believe that the right amount for an individual depends on their size, sensitivity, age, gender and other factors that make them unique.

Cedar nuts from Siberia – a treasure of nature Cedar nuts taste similar to other pine nuts, but are slightly sweeter and more flavourful. Unlike almost all pine nuts available in shops, our raw cedar nuts are not heat-treated. Why eat cedar nuts? Cedar nuts contain approx. 55% valuable unsaturated fatty acids, primarily linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid, as well as the rare pinolic acid. They are rich in tocopherols (vitamin E) – which act as antioxidants – as well as high-quality proteins (around 17 per cent). Furthermore, they contain many minerals (particularly magnesium, potassium and phosphorus), trace elements (copper, manganese and zinc), vitamins (K and B) and flavonoids. For centuries, the people of Siberia have valued the Siberian cedar (Pinus sibirica), a Swiss stone pine that is widespread in the region, not only as a source of valuable timber but also for its tasty and highly nutritious seeds, which are found inside the cedar cones. What makes our cedar nuts special? Virtually all pine nuts available on the market are heat-treated to extend their shelf life. Our cedar nuts, on the other hand, are completely untreated, which preserves their wide range of nutrients.  Where do our pine nuts come from? They come from the Lake Baikal region in Siberia and are harvested by hand. The Siberian pine is a true treasure of Siberian nature and forms vast areas of unspoilt forest throughout northern Russia. These huge, magnificent trees (up to 40 metres tall) grow slowly, and the first cones bearing seeds only appear when the trees are around 30 years old. They are among the longest-living tree species in existence, as they can live for between 300 and 800 years! The evergreen cedar is a storehouse of cosmic light energy; throughout its long lifespan, it captures the energy rays from outer space in its millions of needles. Thousands of years ago, the peoples of antiquity already valued the properties of the cedar tree, which they called ‘the Eternal One’. The twigs were used to prepare a vitamin-rich drink, the resin to heal wounds and ulcers, and the seeds and their oil helped people survive the long, harsh winters in Siberia. How can cedar nuts be used in everyday life? Cedar nuts taste delicious on their own as a snack or mixed with dried fruit and other nuts, along with goji berries and cocoa nibs. They can be sprinkled over salads and other dishes or used in mayonnaise, creams and milk. Cedar nuts lend a certain elegance to your cooking. Cedar nuts and their oil are also excellent for skin care and regeneration. We recommend, particularly in summer, storing the cedar nuts in the fridge once opened. Customer review of the product “I really like cedar nuts. I enjoy mixing them with a bit of water and then using them to create either sweet or savoury dishes, depending on what I fancy.

Why consume pomegranate seeds? Not so long ago, Japanese researchers discovered that pomegranates are rich in phyto-oestrogens, especially oestrone. Oestrone is a mildly effective oestrogen that is similar to the female sex hormones. The pomegranate also contains a lot of vitamin C, potassium, antioxidants and fibre. The pomegranate also has a stimulating effect, which is particularly beneficial for chronic fatigue, lack of energy, infections and inflammation. Pomegranates contain large quantities of antioxidant secondary plant substances such as polyphenols (flavonoids, tannins). What makes our pomegranate seeds special? These premium organic pomegranate seeds are particularly dark purple, almost purple in colour and very rich in antioxidants. The pomegranate seeds are characterised by a red to dark purple colour. When they are dried, the moisture in the segments is lost and the kernel with the fruity skin remains. The stone is crispy and edible. The surrounding flesh and skin give the kernels an aromatic, characteristic fruity flavour. Origin and exceptional production The pomegranates are harvested by hand when fully ripe, piece by piece, and are peeled by hand and sun-dried on the same day by the Silk Road Organik Foods processing company. The drying process used is a very environmentally friendly solar drying method, which is also extremely gentle on the product. Around 1 kg of fresh organic fruit is needed to produce 100 g of pomegranate seeds, i.e. a ratio of 1:10! These organic Fairtrade pomegranate seeds come from a remote mountain village in the Varganza Valley in the south of Uzbekistan. They ripen there on trees in the mountainous regions around Samarkand. The area is extensively certified organic and Fairtrade and is farmed by the FAIRTRADE farmers living there. The farmers belong to a large Fairtrade community, which is made up of 3 groups, Dustkul Bogi, Turkiston Gulba and Turob Bobo. They include around 1000 individual farmers and their families. Thanks to the co-operation with Fairtrade, the farmers can offer their families a secure income and their children a new perspective. In Austria, the pomegranate seeds are de-pressurised. The combination of pressure and time ensures that the pomegranates are absolutely pest-free. The history of the pomegranate The pomegranate has been cultivated for over 5000 years, making it one of the oldest plants known to mankind. The name pomegranate goes back to the Romans (lat. granae = seeds, grains; lat. granatus = granular, rich in seeds). The pomegranate has always been a symbol of life and fertility. The pomegranate has a history steeped in legend: it probably helped to trigger the Trojan War, in Christian culture the pomegranate is the symbol of Mary's fertility, it is also regarded as a symbol of life and the Egyptians added it to mummies. To this day, it is considered an aphrodisiac and is an ingredient in countless love drinks. Tips for use Refine your muesli, salads or use the pomegranate seeds for baking. Pomegranate seeds are also suitable as a snack and create an incredible explosion of flavour, especially when combined with nuts and cocoa beans.
