Barley Grass Juice Powder Organic

Weight : 125g

Barley grass JUICE powder - the concentrated version For our organic barley grass juice powder, the juice from young barley grass is pressed and then gently processed into powder. It is 100% pure juice powder, without any additives or carriers such as maltodextrin. What is the difference between barley grass powder and barley grass juice powder Barley grass itself contains all the good nutrients and vital substances from green vegetables in a practical, concentrated and easily digestible form. The two forms of processing into grass powder and juice powder both have their respective advantages. The main difference between grass powder and juice powder is the content of dietary fiber / fiber. In the case of barley grass powder, this is a very high 35 to 40%. Dietary fiber has a satiating effect, stimulates digestion and prevents constipation. In contrast, our barley grass juice powder only contains 5.7% fiber. As a result, the nutrients and vital substances (including chlorophyll) are available in a concentrated form. Another important difference is the taste. While the grass powder tastes like dried grass (slightly tart), flavors such as spinach and green herbs and a salty finish dominate the juice powder. Visually, both variants can be differentiated well. The grass powder has a much lighter green than the juice powder. All further information about barley grass powder can be found here. SamaraNatura barley grass juice powder Our organic barley grass juice powder comes from a pristine area of the United States, where it is harvested at the time of highest nutrient density. The producer has optimized the processing process for many years and now guarantees raw food quality, i.e. all processing takes place below 42° C. The rich green color testifies to the richness of chlorophyll (vegetable green). Why we love barley grass juice powder We love barley grass juice because it contains many valuable vital nutrients. The chlorophyll contained is also beneficial. However, not everyone has the time and desire to grow fresh grass and squeeze it into juice. Our juice powder is a good and easy alternative. Simply mix with water and you have pure barley grass juice. Use barley grass juice powder Initially increase ½ tsp daily, if necessary increase to ½ - 1 tsp 2-3 times a day. It is best to drink half an hour before meals. The barley grass juice powder goes perfectly with water and many other liquids such as Smoothies orange juice Coconut water Water kefir fresh fruit and vegetable juices Weight variants The barley grass juice powder is available in both 125g and 250g bags.

Blueberries (Bilberries) Organic wild collection

Wild organic Blueberries (Bilberries) - antioxidants and pleasure combined Update: All sizes (125g, 250g and 1kg bags) are available. In addition, we also have organic bilberry powder from Bosnia in our product range. There is something magical about wild blueberries, these dark purple, almost black mini berries with a fascinating taste that grow almost unnoticed on dainty bushes in the mountain forests! And they are packed full of healthy nutrients like no other fruit - a real super fruit! And the childhood memories - hours of wandering through light coniferous forests across the blueberry bushes and eagerly collecting the little jewels. These delicious and nutritious dried wild blueberries make a great snack. They have a wide range of important nutrients and are particularly rich in vitamins C, E and B6 as well as iron, fiber and other vital substances such as resveratrol, zeaxanthin, lutein, anthocyanins and other polyphenolic compounds. Because they contain such a high amount of phenols, especially gallic acid, blueberries are known as "nerve protectants". According to researchers from Iran, this means that they can literally protect our brain from degeneration, neurotoxicity and oxidative stress. What is special about a fruit is its high iron content, which raises energy levels through the production of oxygen-rich blood cells throughout the body. In addition, dried wild blueberries contain a very high antioxidant capacity of around 50,000 µmol TE / 100g (ORAC value = Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity). Blueberry extract skin care products are becoming increasingly popular around the world. The wide range of vitamins and minerals have been reported to help restore hormonal balance, which counteracts acne. This makes blueberries an excellent home remedy for acne. Blueberries also contain resveratrol, a natural sunscreen that can tan your skin. Wild blueberries vs cultivated blueberries They look almost the same. Both are blue, round and taste great. But what are the differences between these two berries? Blueberry has become a universal name for blue-colored berries of the Vaccinium genus, but it is good to know the difference between cultivated blueberries (often called American blueberries) and wild blueberries (European blueberries). While cultivated blueberries are grown in various locations around the world, wild blueberries grow on small shrubs mainly in the northern parts of the northern hemisphere. Wild blueberries compared to cultivated blueberries have a higher vitamin content and a much higher content of anthocyanins. The anthocyanins in the wild bilberry are visible to the eye as blue and red pigments in the pulp, which is juicy and bluish-purple. The cultivated blueberry, on the other hand, has an almost transparent white and somewhat floury pulp. The wild blueberry has been used since the 16th century, both the dried berries and the leaves. Modern interest stems in part from the use of the fruit by British pilots during World War II when pilots noticed that their night vision was better during bombing after eating blueberry jam. Why we love wild blueberries Most of the dried wild blueberries on the market have added sugar and preservatives. We prefer our 100% pure and raw food quality, with their wonderful natural taste. Our wild blueberries have a dark purple, almost black color, which indicates the quality and purity of the product. In addition, nowadays almost only garden blueberries (American blueberries) are available from cultivation, which are simply not as good and significantly less rich in vital substances than wild blueberries. Wild blueberries from SamaraNatura and Pearls of Samarkand Our wild blueberries are dark purple and quite dry and crispy, with a sweet and sour taste, fruity and very aromatic. They are 100% natural, carefully processed and dried and without preservatives, colorings, sweeteners or other unnatural additives. Different sizes and origins Organic wild-collected blueberries are very hard to come by. The bags originating from Bosnia are sold out and unfortunately the new batch had to be returned completely due to an infestation. We hope to be able to offer the new harvest in autumn 2022. In the meantime we were able to buy a small stock from Ukraine. These wild blueberries come from the Lemberg/Lviv region in western Ukraine, near the Polish border. This is the 2021 harvest, i.e. before the war. Usage of Wild Blueberries Thanks to their intense, typical blueberry taste, they are perfect as an addition to muesli, smoothies and dessert topping. For smoothie recipe, we recommend you soak the wild blueberries the night before, so they plump up and are easier to blend up with your other smoothie ingredients. They also fit well into yogurt (also vegan coconut yogurt) and honey. A real treat!

Spirulina algae powder Taiwan organic

Weight : 125g

Spirulina algae powder from Taiwan in organic & raw food qualitySpirulina platensis is a single-celled, spiral-shaped blue-green algae, which has existed on our planet for thousands of years. It gets its typical deep dark color from the green of the chlorophyll as well as the blue of the phycocyanin. Spirulina grows in shallow waters with an alkaline pH between 9 and 11. Since it has no cellulose shell, our body can easily break down and digest its components. Why is spirulina useful as a dietary supplement? The blue-green microalgae has a wealth of nutrients and vital substances. Spirulina powder is particularly rich in protein, provitamin A (β-carotene), iron as well as vitamin K. The dark color also testifies to the high chlorophyll content. SamaraNatura Spirulina Algae Powder Taiwan BIO Our very high quality Spirulina platensis in raw food quality comes from controlled organic cultivation in the south of Taiwan. The cultivation is done according to Naturland guidelines, in pure drinking water under natural climate conditions and exclusively under sunlight. Compared to other spirulina, it has quite a pleasant taste and has an incredibly rich blue-green color. Due to the gentle processing, it has raw food quality.To control the quality, each batch is tested by an independent laboratory in Germany for pesticides, bacteria, algal toxins, heavy metals and radioactivity. How do I use Spirulina powder? Mix ½-1 tsp with water 3x daily, as an ingredient in smoothies or with fruit and vegetable juices.As with all supplements, we recommend starting gently and slowly increasing the amount used within a week. This will allow your body to get used to the new product and avoid unwanted side effects such as indigestion.You will usually get used to the somewhat unique taste quite quickly. If you find using the powder unpleasant even after a few weeks, we recommend using Spirulina tablets. Combining Spirulina and Chlorella The two algae powders are very suitable for combined use due to their nutrients. We recommend taking spirulina together with chlorella in a 2:1 ratio, not exceeding the total recommended daily dose.

The story of BioSamara and SamaraNatura

BioSamara was launched 23th of September 2007 with the aim of providing the public with tools to enjoy a life full of health and vitality, and to make it possible to have a truly nutritious diet with raw foods and superfoods: nourishment full of taste, energy and vitality.

company formation

These special superfoods in organic and raw food quality, were not yet available in Switzerland at the time, and over several months, the owners, Ilanta Sa and Philippe Wyss, set on a journey to try and test several products and different brands intensively, to be able to select only the best quality foods from the producers and distributors with the highest integrity. The ever-growing clientele were really appreciative of our effort to select the best of best. Since then, BioSamara has been a Swiss pioneer for superfoods, products that previously were known only in Great Britain and the USA. BioSamara was one of the first companies to acknowledge the importance of high-quality, organic natural foods and superfoods in their pure state for our physical and mental health.

Initially, BioSamara was a single company and quickly built up a wide range of superfoods and other special raw food products, mainly fair-traded: the products we launched on the Swiss market in 2007 included superfoods of raw food quality such as cacao nibs, cacao beans and cacao paste, maca, goji berries, camu camu, peeled hemp seeds, and inca berries, as well as other products such as fo-ti powder, mesquite, yacon syrup. Our enthusiasm and curiosity for these fairly unknown and valuable natural products from all over the world have led to a continuous growth of our range and to new and exciting products on the Swiss market, which are used by more and more customers with growing interest. Examples of some new products we introduced in the Swiss market are marine phytoplankton in 2009, chia seeds in 2010 and Swiss ancient spelt grass powder in 2014.

Since the beginning, most of the products have been developed and marketed under the brand name SamaraNatura. This brand name, to this day, illustrates our love and respect for nature and the importance of natural products for our health. For us nature is the greatest and most brilliant thing that was ever given to humans. It does not just give us food. Rather, it gives us strength, protects and heals us, is constantly changing and is incredibly creative.

booth

In the first years, BioSamara sold only at trade fairs and farmers markets. In 2008, we took the important step to launch our first website on the Internet. Since then, the range has continued to grow. Today, our assortment comprises more than 100 articles of the categories Superfood, Raw & Vital Food, Chocolate & Cacao, Sweeteners, Snacks (in particular organic raw food bars as well as) food supplements.

Two thirds of our product range is SamaraNatura brand and the other third are comprised by unique specialized products such artisanal oils in raw quality, and the probiotic herbal fermented drink Vita Biosa. We are exclusive distributors of Algaran sea vegetables, MULU raw food pralines, COCOA raw food chocolate and Pearls of Samarkand nuts and berries from Uzbekistan.

We are always searching for new, high-quality, unadulterated, delicious organic fair traded Super Foods and Natural Food Supplements, which should be as unprocessed as possible in raw food quality, vegan, gluten-free and 100% pure - without additives. Do you miss something in our range? Feel free to contact us with your suggestions: info@samaranatura.ch or 044 586 27 27.

Also for us it is for is important to maintain a respectful relationship with our customers, long-term suppliers and partners. Since 2013, we have been cooperating with the Social enterprise Ancora-Meilestei in Wetzikon. The focus of the foundation, which celebrated 25 years in 2016, is the social and professional integration of people with psychological or social impairments. Ancora-Meilestei carries out the packing of superfoods, under high hygienic standards and also processes our orders. Trained social workers support the clients and ensure the quality of the work. Each package is checked for completeness by a responsible person before shipment. Subsequently, the tracking codes are recorded and the customer receives the message that their parcel is being delivered. Like BioSamara GmbH, Ancora-Meilestei is also certified organic.

We are ecologically minded also in our dispatching department. We utilise only re used cartons and as a filling material, our logistics specialist uses recycled paper or cut-to-size cartons, as well as delivered packages.
The orders, which arrive on workdays until 2 pm, are generally equipped and dispatched on the same day. All parcels are delivered reliably with Swiss Post. You can find the detailed shipping options under Dispatch and Pickup.

New beginnings – 2016

VeggieWorld 2016

At the start of 2016, nutrition coach Patrick Fuchs bought BioSamara GmbH and took over the management. The company philosophy and the strategy of premium quality with multi certifications (organic, raw food, 100% pure - without additives, vegan, gluten-free, fair-trade) continued unchanged, and some optimizations were made in sales and communication. In addition, SamaraNatura also reinforced its presence on various social media platforms - Facebook, Instagram - and at many Organic & Vegan trade fairs across Switzerland.

Our products - SamaraNatura

SamaraNatura offers the purest, most nutritious and high-quality food from all parts of the world. Although our products have always been organic since the start of the company in 2007, from November 2015, BioSamara GmbH has been officially certified as an organic company, (organic certificate BVH-25388 available at www.easy-cert.com) controlled by the Swiss organic certification body - bio.inspecta in Frick. We sell almost exclusively organic products, which are grown without synthetic pesticides or agrochemicals. For our own interest, we always choose products that are free of chemical-synthetic agents. We do not knowingly sell products grown with agrochemicals. This is very important to us personally. Also, with the exception of bee pollen, SamaraNatura whole product range is vegan.

Our products are either wild crafted or organically grown and mostly in raw food quality and only sometimes processed in a very gentle way. Raw food contains more vitality than heated foods due to the fact that the nutrients and enzymes are not destroyed and can thus provide us with more energy, strength and wellbeing. For example, our best-selling chocolates, COCOA and MULU are produced using only unroasted cocoa beans and contain neither milk additives nor conventional sugars. Instead, they are sweetened with agave syrup or coconut sugar.

Superfoods are wholesome foods that can support our health in a pure and natural way. They are both food and medicine. Super foods are one of the most nutritious, concentrated and effective foods on the planet. Extremely tasty, they have the ability to significantly increase the life force in our bodies and are also one of the best choices to improve the overall physical, mental and emotional health. For more information, please see: What are Superfoods?

While many of other players in the market rely on superfoods from China, we favour the regions of origin and local products. Our protein and omega-3-rich hemp products come from Austria. In the cocoa products, we focus mainly on the two noble varieties Criollo from Peru and Arriba from Ecuador. The seaweed such as Dulse, Kombu or Sea Spaghetti is harvested on the Irish Atlantic coast. We are also very proud to offer a Swiss organic spelt powder from the Zurich region and sea buckthorn raw juice from the Swiss Alps, among several other products grown and produced within Switzerland.

We have set ourselves the task of supporting those who are interested in becoming happier and healthier people. A diet with a relatively large proportion of fresh raw food as well as a good share of superfoods helps achieve this goal. You do not have to be a Jamie Oliver to prepare delicious and nutritious meals, because on our website, you will find many delicious recipes of smoothies, desserts, chocolate as well as savoury dishes link to Superfood recipes & raw food recipes. With Superfoods it is like everything else: in the beginning you will need some support and inspiration and soon enough you will be able to start creating your own masterpieces in the kitchen! Make it fun, use the products regularly and you will soon see the positive impact superfoods have on your body and mind.
