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) - Premiumquality that you taste  This first-class cinnamon powder from Sri Lanka, the original home of the cinnamon tree, is fine and pure, with a particularly intensive fragrance and taste from genuine Ceylon cinnamon. It is, without a doubt, the tastiest and freshest cinnamon powder we have ever tried. Genuine cinnamon has been used by man since at least 3000 BC and has been growing naturally in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, India and Burma. Ceylon cinnamon was introduced to the European market by the Portuguese navigator Vasco da Gama in 1502, which he brought from Sri Lanka (Ceylon). Nowadays it is more common to find in the market the Cassia cinnamon variety, which comes from China, rather than the more aromatic genuine cinnamon. The aroma of the cinnamon tree comes primarily from cinnamon oil as well as further aromas such as eugenol, which also occurs in cloves, and coumarin. The genuine cinnamon is not only used for seasoning, but also has a long traditional use as medicine that is now scientifically documented (*1). For example, it is now known that cinnamon stimulates the appetite, promotes digestion and is also useful for bacterial and fungal infections, inflammation and for the regulation of the blood sugar. Cinnamon contains a very high antioxidant capacity of 131'420 μmol TE / 100g (ORAC value = Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity). It is with regret that we are unable to share with you more information about this product. Various Swiss legislation prevents us (and all other food business operators) from claiming that these products can offer any possible health benefits. We recommend you do your own research on the Internet about this product, - this is an example of a useful website Zentrum der Gesundheit  (german). Why we love organic ceylon cinnamon powder We are in love with this cinnamon powder - the unique and particularly aromatic cinnamon fragrance and taste, bring the warm childhood memories of the heavenly cinnamon sugar. Coconut sugar with cinnamon surpasses even the taste experience and is also a healthy alternative to white sugar! Apple sauce with cinnamon is another childhood classic. Recently we have been using cinnamon more regularly, espeically in our evening turmeric drink (Facebook/Blog-Link) as well as in chocolate drinks, and curry dishes and teas. The healing properties of cinnamon are a very welcome "side effect”.   Pearls of Samarkand Cinnamon Powder The harvesting and drying process of the cinnamon is done very quickly, creating the optimal conditions to achieve the particularly intense and fresh fragrance and taste of this 100% pure Ceylon cinnamon. Our cinnamon comes from organic farming, from two local fair trade organizations with 2,500 participating farmers. Thanks to the collaboration with Fairtrade, the farmers have their livelihood secured and earn their independence. With the Fairtrade projects such as clean drinking water, school materials for the children and education projects can be paid for. Organic cultivation and fair trade relations have a very decisive impact on the quality of the product.

Camu Camu powder organic
Camu camu powder (100% natural) with 15% vitamin C content  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! Camu camu contains 2-3g of vitamin C per 100g of fresh fruit and around 10-12g per 100g of dried powder. That doesn't 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 for maximum benefit. Why Consume Camu Camu Powder? We have found camu camu to energize and uplift and improve mood. It helps us stay active and in a good mood throughout the day. A pretty amazing effect for such a small berry. We all know about the great health value of vitamin C, and since there is camu camu, we can dispense with artificial, synthetic forms entirely. 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 (scientific name: Myrciaria dubia) grows wild in the Peruvian Amazon. The berries are harvested directly into boats equipped with freezing systems. The boats travel the waterways of the Amazon where the fruit is picked at full maturity and flash frozen. At a processing plant, the fruit is then thawed, peeled, liquefied and spray dried. The resulting powder is pale pink to yellow-brown and has powerful ingredients. We receive our camu camu in the form of a pure, unadulterated powder with an orange-light brown colour. It takes about 15kg of berries to make 1kg of powder, which contains 10-12% vitamin C by weight. Therefore, it takes very little to stock up on an effective dose of antioxidants. Camu camu powder: Often different vitamin C content We would like to point out that the vitamin C content of camu camu powder varies greatly. For example, there is also camu camu with only 5-6% vitamin C. When comparing, pay attention to the vitamin C content, because the lower the product, the cheaper it should be. Influence on sustainable development of the Amazon basin We also like that the growing popularity of Camu Camu is contributing to the sustainable development of the Amazon Basin and helping locals 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 smoothie in the morning or an afternoon pick-me-up drink. Camu camu has a fairly acidic taste, although it does not have an acidifying effect on the body and is easier on the stomach than synthetic ascorbic acid. It therefore tastes best when mixed with other ingredients. Add about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon (2-3 g) to juices, smoothies, ice cream, raw desserts, or simply to your drinking water. It's a great way to balance out the sweetness in 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 some sweetener (e.g. agave or yacon syrup) and shake briefly. You can increase the daily amount if necessary (spread the intake over the day), but diarrhea symptoms indicate that you are taking too much camu camu.

Acai Powder Organic
Açai powder (100% natural): Pure energy from the Amazon Why Consume Açai Powder? The nutrients found in Açai are a wonderful blend 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, give strength and long-lasting energy. A diet high in antioxidants helps protect and slow the aging process. In Brazil, açai has been a popular fruit for many years, used as fruit puree, in drinks, ice cream 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 with no 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. Therefore, the berries are freeze-dried shortly after harvest and then gently ground at low temperatures to a fine powder. The ingredients are preserved as far as possible. Many of the açai powders available on the market are not pure, meaning they are mixed with fillers that reduce its nutritional value. The stronger the purple color of the powder, the more concentrated and pure it is. The shade is therefore a good indicator of the quality of the product. Our açai powder is made from 100% açai berries, with no fillers and is dark purple in colour. How does our Açai powder taste? Açai powder tastes delicious: a delicious, unusual taste! 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 beautiful deep purple colored berry that grows on tall palm trees along the Amazon River in the Brazilian rainforest. A true gift from Mother Nature! The dark purple color comes from special pigments called anthocyanins, which are powerful antioxidants. Usage Tips This miracle berry can be wonderfully integrated into the daily diet. Açai powder goes well with desserts, many drinks, smoothies, yogurt and sprinkled on muesli. It tastes really good in homemade chocolate and ice cream.

Baobab powder organic
Baobab – the African super fruit (100% natural) Why Baobab Powder? Baobab has a slightly citrusy, fruity, refreshing taste and is rich in vitamin C and the minerals calcium, potassium, iron and magnesium. Due to its favorable calcium-phosphorus ratio in combination with vitamin C, the bioavailability of calcium and iron is particularly good. Baobab is great for vegans because it's high in calcium - twice as much as milk. Effect of baobab powder? The baobab fruit has approx. 50% dietary fiber - half the particularly valuable soluble dietary fiber - and thus supports the intestinal functions and a favorable, regular digestion. Baobab also contains numerous phytonutrients that, as powerful antioxidants, help to protect cells and vessels from free radicals. What makes our baobab powder special? Our baobab powder is 100% pure, raw and chemical free. The pod contains the seeds and the naturally dried pulp. The natural fruit powder is separated from the seeds and fibers in a mechanical process. Origin of our babobab powder This superfruit is native to Africa. By spreading to the western world, distribution helps African communities reduce poverty while preserving nature. So baobab is good for us, good for Africans and good for the environment. The African baobab tree (Adansonia digitata) or baobab tree (from Arabic bu-hubub) is a characteristic part of the African savannah. It's also jokingly called the "inverted tree" because it looks like its roots reach up into the sky in a ghostly silhouette. Africans have valued this tree and its fruit for a long time and have given it various names such as tree of life and magic tree. Its thick trunk can store up to 300 liters of water, enabling 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 use in everyday life We like the taste and use it pure with water and a little sweetener - a real treat. It can be used wonderfully as an ingredient in all cocoa and dessert creations and gives them a delicious, slightly sweet and sour note. Due to its high pectin content (approx. 25%), baobab powder is particularly suitable for recipes where binding or thickening properties are required. In addition, baobab is a natural flavor enhancer and gives every dish, whether sweet or savory, a special touch. 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, just 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 favorite smoothie.

Unlike soy products, Mexican yam and flaxseed, maca does not contain hormones.Note: A common misconception about superfoods and herbs is that there is a standard usage amount. In general, the usual recommended daily intake for most superfoods, like 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) - Premiumquality that you taste  This first-class cinnamon powder from Sri Lanka, the original home of the cinnamon tree, is fine and pure, with a particularly intensive fragrance and taste from genuine Ceylon cinnamon. It is, without a doubt, the tastiest and freshest cinnamon powder we have ever tried. Genuine cinnamon has been used by man since at least 3000 BC and has been growing naturally in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, India and Burma. Ceylon cinnamon was introduced to the European market by the Portuguese navigator Vasco da Gama in 1502, which he brought from Sri Lanka (Ceylon). Nowadays it is more common to find in the market the Cassia cinnamon variety, which comes from China, rather than the more aromatic genuine cinnamon. The aroma of the cinnamon tree comes primarily from cinnamon oil as well as further aromas such as eugenol, which also occurs in cloves, and coumarin. The genuine cinnamon is not only used for seasoning, but also has a long traditional use as medicine that is now scientifically documented (*1). For example, it is now known that cinnamon stimulates the appetite, promotes digestion and is also useful for bacterial and fungal infections, inflammation and for the regulation of the blood sugar. Cinnamon contains a very high antioxidant capacity of 131'420 μmol TE / 100g (ORAC value = Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity).
