Organic Chia Seeds – Little Power Seeds The chia seed is an ancient superfood that has been used by the Mayans, Aztecs and Incas as early as 3500BC. It comes from the desert plant salvia hispanica and it grows in southern Mexico. Chia means "strength" in the language of the Mayans and was used as a “running food” because messengers could run all day with the help of these tiny seeds. Chia seeds were considered medicine and were actually prized more than gold due to their incredible health enhancing properties. Athletes from around the world now include chia in their nutritional regimens during training. Chia is rich in valuable protein, calcium and especially omega-3 fatty acids. It contains a very balanced ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which is  rare in foods. Chia seeds contains potent antioxidants, which not only help you to fight disease and defy age naturally, it also keeps the seeds from going off like other seeds such as flax.

Use The most common way to eat Chia is to first soak the seeds. They can very rapidly absorb a large amount of liquid, between 9-12 times their volume, in under 10 minutes. The Basic Gel To make a basic Chia gel, simply add 1/3 cup of seeds to 2 cups of water. Stir the mixture well to avoid clumping, then leave it in your fridge in a sealed jar. This will yield around 500g of Chia gel and you can begin to eat the gel if you like as just 10 minutes is enough time for the gel to be formed.

It will stay good for some days and you can just reach into the fridge and take out some of the ready-made gel whenever you need. You might add it to smoothies, mix it with salad dressings, make puddings and mueslis, or simply take it by the spoonful. Whole Seeds You can also sprinkle the dry seeds onto salads or add them to muesli mixes. You may also want to experiment with grinding them first in a coffee grinder, to make a chia flour you can then add to smoothies, soups, breads and so on. Chia sprouts are used in a similar manner as alfalfa sprouts in salads, sandwiches and other dishes. Because chia seeds absorb lots of water, they can soak up the water from your body and cause you to dehydrate. Prevent this by drinking lots of water. Or, even better, take the seeds already hydrated so they will not absorb your own body fluids to hydrate.

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.

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.

Organic camelina oil, cold-pressed from Swiss camelina seeds This golden yellow organic camelina oil was obtained from Swiss camelina seeds and pressed below 30 degrees Celsius. In order to maintain the raw food quality, the producer (Naturkostbar AG) uses special, cooled oil mills. Camelina oil is very rich (approx. 35%) in omega 3 fatty acids, also called alpha-linolenic acid.

How to use of camelina oil With its wonderful taste, which is reminiscent of peas, camelina oil is ideal for flavoring vegetable dishes, salads and dip sauces. Like most cold-pressed oils, this camelina oil is sensitive to heat and is therefore mainly suitable for cold dishes. Excessive heating, e.g. roasting, can produce toxic compounds. In order to maintain the quality of the oil for as long as possible, we recommend storing the camelina oil in the refrigerator.

Cedar Nuts – A Nature's Real Treasure For centuries native Siberians have always appreciated the Siberian cedar tree (pinus sibirica) as a source of valuable wood, natural remedies and tasty, nutritious kernels in the pine cones of the tree. Cedar nuts (also called Siberian pine nuts) contain about 55% valuable unsaturated fatty acids, especially linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid as well as the rare pinol-/pinolenic acid. They are rich in tocopherols (vitamin E) as powerful antioxidants and high-quality proteins (about 17%). Furthermore, cedar nuts contain many minerals (most notably magnesium, potassium, phosphorus), trace elements (copper, zinc, manganese), vitamins (K and B) and flavonoids. More than 200 years ago, the German natural scientist Peter Simon Pallas wrote about the healing effects of cedar nuts. They reduce fatigue, boost energy, rejuvenate the body and increase potency. Cedar nuts taste like pine nuts, but slightly sweeter. Our cedar nuts are not heat- treated in contrast to almost all other pine nuts available in shops. Why we love Cedar Nuts The Siberian cedar, is a real treasure of Siberian nature, forming vast areas of pristine forests throughout Northern Russia. These huge, magnificent trees typically reach 40 meters tall. The trees grow slowly and the first nut-bearing cones only appear once the trees are about 30 years old. Siberian pines are some of the longest-living trees ranging from 300 to 800 years old! Throughout its long life span, the evergreen cedar captures the rays of cosmic light energy and stores it in its millions of needles.  Already thousands of years ago Siberian people appreciated the properties of the cedar tree, which they called "the Eternal". They used the brushwood  to prepare a healthy drink, the resin for healing wounds and ulcers, and the cedar nut and its oil were taken to help cure many diseases and overvcome the long, severe winters of Siberia. Nowaday scientists in Russia and around the world have been exploring the properties of the cedar nuts and its oil. Research showed clear effects on gastritis, heartburn and dysplasia (cancer prestages) in stomach and esophagus, improved gall bladder function, cholesterol-lowering effects and positive impact on blood sugar levels. Siberian pine nuts and oil are also beneficial for the care and regeneration of the skin, the oil is used in skin diseases such as eczema. SamaraNatura Cedar Nuts Virtually all pine kernels sold in the shops are heat-treated to preserve them. Our cedar nuts from Mongolia are raw and a bit sweeter and lighter and fantastic just about any way you choose to use them. We recommend to  keep them refrigerated.
