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. Vegan salad dressing, a cheese substitute … or simply snacking on a handful every now and then.” by Mirjam F.

Super lecker!
Ich mag diese Zedernüsse sehr gerne, die Qualität entspricht den eh erstklassigen Samaranatura-Ansprüchen, ist mein Eindruck.
Man sagte mir, es sei nicht unbedingt nötig, sie im Kühlschrank zu lagern. Gerne mixe ich sie mit etwas Wasser und kreiere dann je nachdem was Süsses oder Salziges draus. Vegane Salatsauce, Käse-Ersatz ... oder einfach zwischendurch mal eine Hand voll naschen.
