Goji berries contain more vitamin C than oranges, more beta-carotene than carrots, and more iron than a steak! For thousands of years, the goji berry has enriched the diet of the people of the Himalayan regions, helping them to attain better health and more energy. Traditional Chinese Medicine considers the the berry to be the number one food-herb. Goji berries contribute to a healthy, happy and energetic life. Why we love Goji Berries We love goji berries because they are a true superfood, one of the most nutrient- dense foods in the world, and one of the highest antioxidant foods available! Goji berries give us energy, improving our focus and sleep quality, while reducing stress and fatigue, making us feel healthier and happier. Goji berry is not only a true miracle fruit, but it also tastes delicious and is one of the easiest foods to consume. Because of its positive effect on the blood sugar level, it is also very beneficial for diabetics and absolutely anyone can (or should!) benefit from this powerful red fruit. SamaraNatura Goji Berries Our goji berries are grown without pesticides and agrochemicals in the fertile valleys of Ningxia Province, China. Here, in their indigenous terrain, the berries are vine-ripened, harvested in the summer months, and dehydrated at low temperatures for maximum nutrient preservation. The berries are dried to a moisture content of 10-14% for a soft and chewy texture, and can easily be re-hydrated if desired. These pure Goji berries are raw, vegan, and certified organic by a German certification body. Use Goji berries can be consumed in many different ways. The berry has a mild tangy taste that is slightly sweet and sour. It has a similar shape and chewy texture as raisins. Also like raisins, goji berries can be eaten on their own or added to your Muesli, trail mix, whole fruits and nut bars, and desserts. Furthermore, you can add the berries to your tea, juice, smoothie, and soup, or make your own goji juice by letting them soak in water. You can truly be creative and let your imagination soar with this delicious superfood. Dosage: around 10-30 grams per day. However, there is no upper limit to consumption. The indigenous mountain people who grow these berries eat them by handful. Dried goji berries are shelf stable for well over a year if stored properly in a cool environment.

We believe that the proper measure is in relation to size, sensitivity, age, gender and many other factors that make each human being 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.

Why buy cacao butter chips? Cacao butter is the solid form of the pure oil from the cocoa bean. The cocoa bean is an amazing food given to us by Mother Nature.

Our cacao butter is made from the particularly fine and rare fine cacao variety Criollo. Fine cacao varieties only make up 5-10% of global cacao production. They grow under similar, often almost natural conditions, as they cannot tolerate direct sun and thrive next to other, high rainforest trees. Forestero industrial cacao, on the other hand, is usually grown in monoculture plantations. In contrast to conventional products, our cacao butter is never heated above 37°C and thus has the same quality as raw butter.

Organic Criollo Cacao mass (paste) in practical chips form Update from January 30th, 2023: Due to the more frequent use of language, we have renamed the product name cocoa paste to cacao mass.

They grow under similar, often almost natural, conditions as they do not tolerate direct sun and thrive alongside other tall rainforest trees. The industrial cacao Forastero, on the other hand, is usually grown in monoculture plantations. As the name already suggests, fine flavor cacao tastes better, finer and less bitter than consumer cacao because, like cacao nibs, it still contains the entire proportion of cacao butter (approx. 55%).
