Cedarnuts Organic

Organic cedar nuts from Siberia - a true treasure of nature

For centuries, the inhabitants of Siberia have valued the widespread cedar (Pinus sibirica), a stone pine, not only as a source of valuable wood, but also for the tasty and extremely nutritious seeds that are stuck in the cedar cones.

Cedar nuts contain about 55% valuable unsaturated fatty acids, especially linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid as well as the rare pinoleic/pinolenic acid. They are rich in tocopherols (vitamin E) as antioxidants and high-quality proteins (approx. 17%). They also contain many minerals (especially magnesium, potassium, phosphorus), trace elements (copper, manganese, zinc), vitamins (K and B) and flavonoids.

Cedar nuts taste similar to other pine nuts, but a little sweeter and stronger. Unlike almost all commercially available pine nuts, our raw cedar nuts are not heat treated.

Why are cedar nuts so valuable

The Siberian pine is a true treasure of Siberian nature, forming vast areas of pristine forests throughout northern Russia. The huge, magnificent trees (up to 40 m tall) grow slowly and the first seed cones do not appear until the trees are about 30 years old. They are among the longest-lived tree species there are, as they can live 300 to 800 years!

The evergreen cedar is a storage place of cosmic light energy, in its millions of needles it catches the energy rays from the cosmic space during its long lifetime. Thousands of years ago, ancient peoples valued the properties of the cedar tree, which they called "the eternal". The twigs were used to prepare a vitamin drink, the resin to heal wounds and ulcers, and the seeds and their oil helped weather the long, harsh Siberian winters.

Cedar nuts and their oil are also very good for skin care and regeneration.

SamaraNatura Organic Cedar Nuts

Almost all commercially available pine nuts are heat treated to make them last longer. Our cedar nuts, on the other hand, are completely untreated, which means that the wide range of nutrients is preserved. They come from the Lake Baikal region in Siberia and are harvested by hand.

Use

Cedar nuts taste delicious on their own as a snack or together with dried fruit and other nuts, with goji berries and cocoa nibs. They can be sprinkled over salads and other dishes, or made into mayonnaise, creams and milk. Cedar nuts add a certain elegance to your kitchen.

We recommend keeping the cedar nuts in the fridge after opening, especially in summer.
