Goji berries - the super berries For thousands of years, goji berries have enriched the diet of the inhabitants of the Himalayan regions and energised them. 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. You can be creative with this delicious superfood and let your imagination run wild. Recommended amount: about 10-30 grams per day. The locals who grow the berries eat a handful every day. 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.

Suma – Brazilian Ginseng (Pfaffia paniculata) The suma root is also known as "Brazilian ginseng" because of its adaptogenic properties, but it does not belong to the ginseng family, but to the foxtail family. Why consume suma? Suma contains a range of nutrients including 19 amino acids, vitamins A, B1, B2, E, K, pantothenic acid, iron, silicon, magnesium, zinc and antioxidant saponins. What is important is its relatively high proportion of germanium, a powerful antioxidant that can scavenge free radicals and highly reactive oxygen compounds at the cellular level. Antioxidants are important for cell maintenance and function. Suma is known to improve cellular oxygenation and energy efficiency, and to promote performance and endurance. For example, Russian Olympic athletes take Suma to build muscle and improve their condition without the negative effects of steroids. Known in Brazil as “para tudo” (for everything), Suma has been used by the Amazonians for hundreds of years and has traditionally been used to enhance sexual power and raise the body's energy levels. Recommendations for use You can mix suma powder into smoothies, fruit juices and dairy drinks, or use it as an ingredient in granola, homemade chocolate and other foods. We recommend starting with half a teaspoon and increasing to one level teaspoon per day after a week. Due to the special adaptogenic properties, Suma should only be taken when needed and not over a long period of time. We recommend a maximum of 1 month and then a break of at least 1 month. Note: In the event of medical treatment, pregnancy or if you are unsure, ask a specialist about the use of this product.

Premium agave syrup in raw food quality What is agave? The agave is a cactus-like plant from Mexico. Agave syrup is a delicious sweetener made from the juice inside agaves that are at least eight years old. The Mexicans traditionally collected the sweet juice ("aguamiel") from various agaves in order to make sweeteners and special drinks for celebrations. Why buy agave syrup? Agave syrup is a vegan alternative to honey and has a pleasant taste, like a mixture of honey and maple syrup. It can be used in many ways as a sweetener. Only the very gently processed agave syrup like ours has a low glycemic index and is only slowly absorbed into the bloodstream. It is therefore particularly recommended for people who are sensitive to sugar. What makes our agave syrup special? Most conventional agave syrups, including those from organic farming, are made from 3-6 different agave species and have been heated up and pasteurized, as the juice of the agave spoils quickly after it has been removed. The contained healthier multiple sugars (polysaccharides, mainly in the form of inulin) are converted into simple sugars. They have lost a large part of their nutrients! Our agave syrup is obtained exclusively from the Salmiana agave, is processed very gently and at low temperatures and is therefore of the best quality available on the market. No pesticides or other agrochemicals are used in cultivation. The syrup is produced in special vacuum containers in which the water it contains evaporates at very low temperatures. The valuable vitamins, minerals and enzymes are largely preserved and available for our body. Because our agave syrup is 100% natural, it has a stronger taste and a darker color than commercially available concentrated juices. How to use in the daily diet? Agave syrup is characterized by a high, neutral sweetness. It enhances the aroma and is easily soluble in cold and warm dishes and drinks. Ideally suited for baked goods and due to the low tendency to crystallize for the production of jams and jellies.

Yacon Syrup Organic - Delicious, prebiotic sweetener Yacon is grown in the high mountain valleys of the Andes and has a dense root system that is full of minerals, vitamins and complex vital substances. The freshly squeezed juice of the root is a gift from nature and has been enjoyed by the Andean peoples for centuries. The special thing about Yacon is the quality of its sugar, which is mainly in the form of oligofructose (or fructooligosaccharides). Oligofructose cannot be used by the digestive enzymes and therefore hardly causes any calories and protects the blood sugar level. In addition, as a prebiotic, oligofructose supports a healthy intestinal flora. An ideal sweetener for diabetics, health-conscious and diet-conscious people alike. Why we love Yacon Syrup Yacon tastes delicious and has half as many calories as honey, for example. And on top of that, its sugar hardly increases the blood sugar level and avoids strenuous blood sugar highs and lows. Yacon syrup is also significantly less glycemic than honey, agave or maple syrup. The oligofructose in Yacon also supports the beneficial bacteria in the colon, thereby improving digestion and absorption of nutrients. The indigestible sugar thus serves the beneficial bacteria as prebiotic food. SamaraNatura Yacon Syrup Our yacon syrup comes from traditional varieties from the Peruvian Andes and is 100% natural, grown without pesticides and agrochemicals. It is produced at low temperatures, which guarantees that the syrup retains a very high quality of nutrients and enzymes. This yacon syrup is thickened from yacon juice in a special vacuum process at low temperatures of 45°C. Since this yacon syrup can only be kept for a relatively short time without pasteurization, it is pasteurized at 70°C for 3 minutes. The syrup is therefore not raw food, but processed very gently, which means that the valuable nutrients and enzymes in the roots are largely retained. How to use Yacon syrup can be used in many ways as a sweetener. It can be used to sweeten desserts, drinks and smoothies. For salad dressings, we like to mix the syrup with vinegar, as a substitute for balsamic vinegar, which usually contains a lot of sugar. The sweetness of the syrup is less strong than the sweetness of sugar, honey or agave syrup. To support a healthy intestinal flora, 1 teaspoon is sufficient daily. For a better shelf life, we recommend storing the yacon syrup in the refrigerator.

Coconut blossom sugar 100% natural in high fineness The sugar with a caramel flavour Coconut blossom sugar has a wonderful, caramel-like flavour and is obtained from the flower nectar of coconut palms. It is a better, mineral-rich alternative to cane sugar, containing lots of potassium, magnesium, zinc and iron. It is also a good source of vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6 and C and amino acids (especially glutamic acid). Its low glycaemic index (GI=35) ensures a slow release of energy. Coconut blossom sugar is therefore a sweetener suitable for everyone. Our organic coconut sugar consists of 100% coconut nectar from the palm species Coco Nucifera. A suitable sweetener for the health-conscious consumer. Why buy coconut blossom sugar? SamaraNatura coconut blossom sugar tastes similar to brown sugar, but better! It has a rich, sugary-sweet caramel flavour and many chefs appreciate how coconut sugar enhances their culinary dishes and makes them tastier. Compared to other sweeteners, coconut blossom sugar has a much lower glycaemic index. This means that it releases its energy more slowly and avoids the usual sugar highs and lows of normal sugar in the body. What we particularly appreciate is that this sweetener is one of the few truly sustainable foods in the world! In terms of humanity, the environment and health, coconut blossom sugar has extraordinary benefits in every respect. It lifts communities out of poverty, provides much-needed nutrients to the body in a way that often does the opposite (as a sweetener), and helps preserve fragile tropical rainforests. In fact, it helps restore the ecological balance of degraded areas. What makes our xylitol birch sugar special? Our coconut blossom sugar is 100% natural, organic, unbleached and free from additives and artificial flavourings. It consists only of the nectar of coconut palms and is not mixed with other palm sugars, which would compromise its exquisite quality. Our coconut sugar is a sustainable product and supports local communities and families in Indonesia. Some palm sugars on the market are also blended with cane sugar and other malt-based ingredients. SamaraNatura coconut sugar is pure palm sugar made from 100% coconut nectar from the Coco Nucifera species. Incidentally, coconut palm sugar is not obtained from the palm species used for the production of palm oil. Our granulated coconut palm nectar is not raw, i.e. processed at temperatures above 42°C. We prefer a higher quality and offer sieved coconut blossom sugar with a higher fineness (Mesh 30). This means that the sugar grains are smaller and finer than those of other palm sugar (mesh 18) on the market. Consumption recommendations Coconut blossom sugar melts very easily in hot and cold drinks. The sweetener is delicious in desserts, smoothies and pastries. A small spoonful of our rich coconut sugar is a healthy treat that satisfies cravings and provides instant energy. Coconut sugar can be used like brown sugar in a 1:1 ratio. Xylitol birch sugar: the alternative or supplement to coconut blossom sugar Xylitol is a sugar substitute and has the same sweetening power as white sugar, has no taste of its own, is low in calories (40% fewer calories and 75% fewer carbohydrates) and has a very low glycaemic index (approx. 11 | compared to sugar of approx. 70). It also helps to prevent plaque and tooth decay. Xylitol looks and tastes like sugar and can therefore be used 1:1 like normal sugar, in hot and cold drinks, cakes and desserts.

Our cacao butter is made from the particularly fine and rare Criollo cacao variety. Fine flavoured cacao varieties only account for 5-10% of global cacao production. They grow under similar, often almost natural conditions, as they do not tolerate direct sunlight and thrive alongside other tall rainforest trees. Forestero industrial cacao, on the other hand, is usually grown in monoculture plantations.

A truly sensual oil with a soft, smooth texture and a mild, floral citrus flavour. Unfortunately, cocoa butter can hardly unfold its precious effect in most conventional cosmetic products.
