Psyllium husks organic

Product information "Psyllium husks organic"

Psyllium husks (organic) from India | Vegan & gluten-free (100% natural)

Update: The new batch of psyllium husks is being bottled and will be available from 29.11.2024.

These small but powerful seed husks are rich in fibre, vitamins and minerals and can enrich your health and diet in many ways.

What are psyllium husks and where do they come from?

Psyllium husks are the seed husks of the Plantago ovata plant, which is mainly cultivated in India and Pakistan.

Why consume psyllium husks?

The fibre contained in psyllium husks (flosine mucilage polysaccharides) can bind more than 50 times the amount of water. This leads to an increase in the volume of faeces in the intestine, which in turn stimulates peristalsis (intestinal movement). The mucilage also makes the stool more slippery.

  • Digestive support: The high concentration of soluble fibre in psyllium husks promotes healthy digestion. The husks increase in volume when combined with liquid.
  • Satisfaction and weight management: The husks swell in the stomach and provide a long-lasting feeling of satiety, which can make it easier to control appetite.
  • Regulation of blood sugar levels: The fibre in psyllium husks can help to slow down the rise in blood sugar levels after eating.
  • Lowering cholesterol levels: By binding bile acids, psyllium husks can lower cholesterol levels.

What makes our psyllium husks special?

Our organic psyllium husks are of raw food quality and have the highest possible degree of purity of 99%, i.e. they can contain a maximum of 1% whole psyllium seeds. The psyllium husks are neutral in flavour.

How can psyllium husks be integrated into the daily diet?

  • High-fibre smoothies: Add a tablespoon of psyllium husks to your favourite smoothie and give it an extra portion of fibre.
  • Binding agent in baked goods & for soups, sauces and creams: Ex: Replace eggs in baking recipes with a mixture of water and psyllium husks to make your baked goods vegan and high in fibre.
  • Yoghurt and muesli: Stir the seed husks into yoghurt or muesli to increase the nutritional value of your meal.

Use and dosage of psyllium husks

Up to 1-2 teaspoons 3 times a day, maximum 20g per day.

A typical dosage is 1 to 2 tablespoons per day. Start with a smaller amount and gradually increase it to see how your body responds.

For optimum effect, take the psyllium 30 to 60 minutes before a meal or two hours after.

Important: Drink 2 glasses of water quickly after ingestion.

Ceylon Cinnamon powder Organic
Weight : 250g
Organic Ceylon cinnamon powder (100% natural) - premium quality you can taste This premium cinnamon powder from Sri Lanka, the original home of the cinnamon tree, is a fine and pure, particularly intensely flavoured cinnamon powder made from real Ceylon cinnamon! It is without doubt the tastiest and freshest cinnamon powder we have ever tasted. True cinnamon has been used by humans since at least 3000 BC and grows naturally in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, India and Burma. Ceylon cinnamon came to Europe with the Portuguese navigator Vasco da Gama in 1502, which he brought back from Sri Lanka (Ceylon). Nowadays, it is more common to find the cassia cinnamon variety on the market, which comes from China, rather than the more aromatic true cinnamon. The flavour of the cinnamon tree comes primarily from the cinnamon oil and other aromatic substances such as eugenol, which is also found in cloves. True cinnamon is not only used for flavouring, but also has other interesting applications (*1). Among other things, cinnamon is known to stimulate the appetite and aid digestion. It is also considered helpful for bacterial and fungal infections, inflammation and for lowering blood sugar. Cinnamon contains a very high antioxidant capacity of 131,420 µmol TE/100g (ORAC value = Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacit). Since we as a retailer are only allowed to make a few specific statements about the health effects of foods, we recommend that you research information about this product yourself on the Internet, e.g. at Zentrum der Gesundheit. Why we love organic Ceylon cinnamon powder We love this premium cinnamon powder because of its truly unique and particularly aromatic cinnamon scent and flavour, which is not only associated with childhood memories of heavenly cinnamon sugar. Coconut sugar with cinnamon even surpasses the flavour experience and is also a healthy alternative to white sugar! Applesauce with cinnamon is another classic. Recently, we have also been using cinnamon more and more in our evening turmeric drink (Facebook/blog link) and in chocolate drinks, as well as in curry dishes and teas. The beneficial properties of cinnamon are a very welcome "side effect". SamaraNatura Cinnamon The aroma and flavour of this 100% pure Ceylon cinnamon are particularly intense and fresh, which is achieved through rapid processing and optimal conditions! This cinnamon comes from organic cultivation and fair trade from two local Fairtrade organisations with 2500 participating farmers. Thanks to the co-operation with Fairtrade, the farmers can earn a secure and independent living. The Fairtrade premium can be used to pay for projects such as clean drinking water, school materials for the children and educational projects. Organic farming and fair trade relations have a decisive influence on the quality of the product. Many work steps are carried out traditionally and exclusively by hand. ✓Controlled organic cultivation ✓Raw food ✓Vegan ✓Fairtrade ✓Premium quality and very flavourful ✓100% pure nature ✓Without preservatives or other additives Use In smoothies, desserts, chocolate drinks, coffee, curry dishes, spiced teas, nut milks and fruit juices.

Camu Camu powder organic
Camu Camu (100% natural) powder with 15% vitamin C content Why consume camu camu powder? Camu Camu contains 2-3g of vitamin C per 100g of fresh fruit and around 10-12g per 100g of dried powder. This may not seem like much compared to synthetic vitamin C supplements, but the vitamin C in camu camu is a naturally occurring, highly bioavailable form and works synergistically in the body to maximise its benefits The camu camu fruit has the highest documented natural vitamin C content of any food on earth Compared to oranges, Camu Camu provides 30-60 times more vitamin C, 10 times more iron, 3 times more niacin, twice as much riboflavin and 50% more phosphorus! We have found that Camu Camu energises, builds and improves mood. It helps us to stay active and in a good mood throughout the day. A pretty amazing effect for such a small berry We all know about the high health value of vitamin C, and since camu camu exists, we can completely do without artificial, synthetic forms. For people like us, who are always on the lookout for what nature has to offer, this is a blessing The berry is 100% natural and a powerful, highly concentrated food Due to its natural origin and in combination with other vitamins, minerals, bioflavonoids and amino acids, the vitamin C contained in camu camu is fully absorbed by the body, which is not the case with synthetic vitamin C What makes our camu camu powder special? SamaraNatura Camu Camu grows wild in the Peruvian Amazon. The berries are harvested directly in boats equipped with freezing systems. The boats travel along the waterways of the Amazon, where the fruit is picked and shock-frozen when fully ripe. The fruit is then thawed, peeled, liquefied and spray-dried in a processing plant The resulting powder is pale pink to yellow-brown in colour and contains powerful ingredients. We receive our camu camu in the form of a pure, unadulterated powder with an orange-light brown colour It takes around 15kg of berries to produce 1kg of powder, which contains 10-12 per cent vitamin C by weight. Therefore, you only need a small amount to get an effective dose of antioxidants Camu camu powder: frequently varying vitamin C content We would like to point out that the vitamin C content of camu camu powder varies greatly. For example, there are also camu camu powders with only 5-6% vitamin C. When making a comparison, pay attention to the vitamin C content, as the lower the content, the cheaper the product should be. Influence on sustainable development of the Amazon basin We also like the fact that the growing popularity of camu camu contributes to the sustainable development of the Amazon basin and helps the locals to maintain their traditional lifestyle. How to use camu camu powder? Like other superfoods, camu camu is very easy to use. Simply mix the powder into your morning smoothie or an afternoon pick-me-up drink. Camu camu has quite an acidic flavour, although it does not have an acidifying effect on the body and is gentler on the stomach than synthetic ascorbic acid. It therefore tastes best when mixed with other ingredients. Add about a quarter to half a teaspoon (2-3g) to juices, smoothies, ice creams, raw desserts or simply in your drinking water. It's a great way to balance the sweetness of fruit smoothies and desserts. Tip: Camunade is a refreshing drink that gives you a good vitamin C boost. Simply sprinkle a teaspoon of Camu Camu into a glass of cold water (sparkling or still), add a squeeze of lime juice and a little sweetener (e.g. agave or yacon syrup) and shake briefly. You can increase the daily amount if necessary (spread the intake throughout the day), but diarrhoea symptoms indicate an excessive intake of camu camu.

Acai Powder Organic
Açai powder (100% natural): Pure energy from the Amazon Why consume açai powder? The nutrients contained in açai are a wonderful mixture of antioxidants, omega-3, -6 and -9 fatty acids, vitamins and proteins. Açai is also very popular with athletes because the berry contains 19 amino acids that stimulate muscle activity, provide strength and long-lasting energy. A diet rich in antioxidants helps to slow down the ageing process. In Brazil, açai has been a popular fruit for many years, used as a fruit puree, in drinks, ice creams and smoothies. The natives of the rainforest have been consuming açai for thousands of years. What makes our açai powder special? Our açai powder from Brazil is 100% natural, without fillers or chemicals. Due to the high fat content of the berries, long transport routes are impossible without a process to increase the shelf life of the fruit. This is why the berries are freeze-dried shortly after harvesting and then gently ground into a fine powder at a low temperature. The ingredients are thus preserved as far as possible. Many of the açai powders available on the market are not pure, i.e. they are mixed with fillers that reduce their nutritional value. The stronger the violet colour of the powder, the more concentrated and pure it is. The colour is therefore a good indicator of the quality of the product. Our açai powder is made from 100% açai berries, without fillers and has a dark purple colour. What does our açai powder taste like? Açai powder tastes delicious: a delicious, unusual flavour! The excellent combination of omega fatty acids and the sustained energy it provides makes açai powder indispensable for us. Where is açai powder made? Açai is a berry with a beautiful intense purple colour that grows in the Brazilian rainforest on tall palm trees along the Amazon. A true gift from Mother Nature! The dark purple colour comes from special pigments called anthocyanins, which are powerful antioxidants. Tips for use This miracle berry can be wonderfully integrated into your daily diet. Açai powder goes well with desserts, many drinks, smoothies, yoghurt and sprinkled on muesli. It tastes great in homemade chocolate and ice cream. Nutritional values of açai per 100g Energy value 2236kJ/534kcal Protein 8.6g Carbohydrates 8.5g thereof sugar 1g fat 45g of which saturated fatty acids 11g Dietary fibre 33g All information is subject to the usual fluctuations in natural products.

Baobab powder organic
The African superfruit (100% natural) Why baobab powder? Baobab has a slightly citrusy, fruity and refreshing flavour and is rich in vitamin C and the minerals calcium, potassium, iron and magnesium. Due to its favourable calcium-phosphorus ratio in combination with vitamin C, the bioavailability of calcium and iron is particularly good. Baobab is ideal for vegans as it contains a lot of calcium - twice as much as milk. Effect of baobab powder? The baobab fruit contains approx. 50% fibre - half of which is particularly valuable soluble fibre - and therefore supports intestinal functions and regular digestion. Baobab also contains numerous phytonutrients, which are powerful antioxidants that help to protect cells and blood vessels from free radicals. What makes our baobab powder special? Our baobab powder is 100% pure, raw and chemical-free. The fruit pod contains the seeds and the naturally dried pulp. The natural fruit powder is separated from the seeds and fibres using a mechanical process. Origin of our babobab powder This superfruit originates from Africa. Its distribution in the western world helps African communities to reduce poverty and preserve nature at the same time. So baobab is good for us, good for Africans and good for the environment. The African baobab tree (Adansonia digitata) or baobab tree (from the Arabic bu-hubub) is a characteristic part of the African savannah. It is also jokingly referred to as the "upside-down tree", as it looks as if its roots are sticking up into the sky like a ghostly silhouette. Africans have long valued this tree and its fruit and have given it various names such as the tree of life and the magic tree. Its thick trunk can store up to 300 litres of water, allowing the tree to survive long periods of drought. The nutritious fruit powder forms naturally in the ripe fruit pod, which also contains the seeds. Tips for everyday use We like the flavour and use it pure with water and a little sweetener - a real treat. It is a wonderful ingredient for all cocoa and dessert creations, giving them a delicious, slightly sweet and sour flavour. Due to its high pectin content (approx. 25%), baobab powder is particularly suitable for recipes where binding or thickening properties are required. Baobab is also a natural flavour enhancer and adds a special touch to any dish, whether sweet or savoury. Baobab also goes well with muesli, in yoghurt, nut milk and as an ingredient in baked goods and desserts (with cocoa). If you like it sweeter, simply add a teaspoon of agave syrup. Recipe with baobab powder Try a refreshing vitality drink: mix 1 to 2 teaspoons of baobab powder with water and lemon or add it to juice or your favourite smoothie.

Yellow Maca powder Organic
Yellow maca powder - the superfood from the Andes (100% natural) Wide range of maca Our raw maca powder from the Junin region in Peru is one of the best maca powders on the market. In addition to the yellow maca described here, our range currently also includes red and black maca, naturally also in organic and raw food quality. We also offer Bio Maca Max, a somewhat more digestible variant in which the starch contained in the maca powder is converted by heating, making it easier to digest and absorb. Our red maca powder fulfils the highest quality requirements ✓ from organic cultivation ✓ raw food quality due to a special air-drying process with the help of the sun ✓ pure variety from 100% red maca roots ✓ Grown at altitudes of over 4000 metres above sea level in the Junín region of Peru ✓ 4:1 concentration, i.e. 4kg of maca tubers yield 1kg of maca powder Why consume yellow maca powder? Maca increases our energy levels. Maca makes us feel energised, grounded and happy. Maca also has a pleasant, malty flavour and can be used in many different ways. The root vegetable has been a staple food of the indigenous peoples of the Andes for thousands of years and is an excellent source of energy and stamina. Its content of biologically utilisable protein is approx. 11% in the dried root. For legal reasons (Swiss Foodstuffs Ordinance), as a food retailer we are not permitted to make any statements about possible effects. Do your own research on maca on the Internet. We find Dr Schweikart 's website very informative. The different varieties are also described there. What makes our yellow maca powder special and where is it produced? Our pure yellow maca powder is made from 100% natural maca roots from controlled organic cultivation, produced under strict production standards and quality controls. They all come from altitudes of over 4000 metres above sea level in the Junín region of Peru. Our suppliers work together with small farmers. In doing so, they create jobs for the local population and advise the small entrepreneurs by offering training and financial support. This is a means of raising the standard of living of small farmers and at the same time increasing their crop yields. How to use yellow maca powder in everyday life? Maca has a unique flavour and can be added to many different dishes. Some people find the flavour of maca powder somewhat reminiscent of caramel with a peppery note. Maca powder can be stirred into rice, nut or hemp milk, for example, or simply mixed into muesli. Mix maca powder with water, milk of your choice or add it to juice, smoothies, muesli or raw desserts. Maca is also a good binding agent for soups and therefore a tasty addition. We particularly like maca together with oatmeal and as an ingredient in our raw chocolate recipes. More recipes... It is advisable to start with a small amount of ½ tsp per day and increase up to 1-2 tbsp per day. Unlike soya products, Mexican yam and linseed, maca does not contain hormones. Note: A common misconception about superfoods and herbs is that there is a standard amount to consume. In general, the usual recommended daily intake for most superfoods, including maca, is between 1 tsp and 3 tbsp per day, divided into two or three doses. It is best to start with 1 tsp per day and adjust the amount to your personal needs.

In our modern world, maca root is consumed up to 3 times a day by Peruvians and other people around the world. It is used by professional athletes to the elderly to provide extra energy and stamina. How to use red maca powder? Maca has a unique flavour that not all first-time users like the same. We find it malty, earthy and slightly sweet or sometimes a little nutty. Mix the maca powder with water, (nut) milk of your choice or as a supplementary ingredient. The flavour spectrum is perfect for smoothies, muesli or desserts. Tip for those who still need to get used to the maca flavour: The combination with cocoa powder Criollo is not only tasty, but also interesting in terms of nutrients. Maca is also a good binding agent for soups and is therefore a tasty addition. We particularly like it together with oatmeal and as an ingredient in our raw chocolate recipes. Start with a small amount of ½ teaspoon per day and increase up to 1-2 tablespoons per day.

Ceylon Cinnamon powder Organic
Organic Ceylon cinnamon powder (100% natural) - premium quality you can taste This premium cinnamon powder from Sri Lanka, the original home of the cinnamon tree, is a fine and pure, particularly intensely flavoured cinnamon powder made from real Ceylon cinnamon! It is without doubt the tastiest and freshest cinnamon powder we have ever tasted. True cinnamon has been used by humans since at least 3000 BC and grows naturally in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, India and Burma. Ceylon cinnamon came to Europe with the Portuguese navigator Vasco da Gama in 1502, which he brought back from Sri Lanka (Ceylon). Nowadays, it is more common to find the cassia cinnamon variety on the market, which comes from China, rather than the more aromatic true cinnamon. The flavour of the cinnamon tree comes primarily from the cinnamon oil and other aromatic substances such as eugenol, which is also found in cloves. True cinnamon is not only used for flavouring, but also has other interesting applications (*1). Among other things, cinnamon is known to stimulate the appetite and aid digestion. It is also considered helpful for bacterial and fungal infections, inflammation and for lowering blood sugar. Cinnamon contains a very high antioxidant capacity of 131,420 µmol TE/100g (ORAC value = Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacit). Since we as a retailer are only allowed to make a few specific statements about the health effects of foods, we recommend that you research information about this product yourself on the Internet, e.g. at Zentrum der Gesundheit. Why we love organic Ceylon cinnamon powder We love this premium cinnamon powder because of its truly unique and particularly aromatic cinnamon scent and flavour, which is not only associated with childhood memories of heavenly cinnamon sugar. Coconut sugar with cinnamon even surpasses the flavour experience and is also a healthy alternative to white sugar! Applesauce with cinnamon is another classic. Recently, we have also been using cinnamon more and more in our evening turmeric drink (Facebook/blog link) and in chocolate drinks, as well as in curry dishes and teas. The beneficial properties of cinnamon are a very welcome "side effect". SamaraNatura Cinnamon The aroma and flavour of this 100% pure Ceylon cinnamon are particularly intense and fresh, which is achieved through rapid processing and optimal conditions! This cinnamon comes from organic cultivation and fair trade from two local Fairtrade organisations with 2500 participating farmers. Thanks to the co-operation with Fairtrade, the farmers can earn a secure and independent living. The Fairtrade premium can be used to pay for projects such as clean drinking water, school materials for the children and educational projects. Organic farming and fair trade relations have a decisive influence on the quality of the product. Many work steps are carried out traditionally and exclusively by hand. ✓Controlled organic cultivation ✓Raw food ✓Vegan ✓Fairtrade ✓Premium quality and very flavourful ✓100% pure nature ✓Without preservatives or other additives Use In smoothies, desserts, chocolate drinks, coffee, curry dishes, spiced teas, nut milks and fruit juices.
