Organic Chia Seeds

Product information "Organic Chia Seeds"

Organic chia seeds (100% natural) - the little power seeds

Chia seeds are an ancient superfood that was used by the Mayas, Aztecs and Incas as early as 3500 BC.

They come from the desert plant Salvia hispanica, which grows in southern Mexico. Chia means starch in the Mayan language and was considered "running food" because messengers could run all day long with the help of these tiny seeds.

Why consume organic chia seeds?

Easy to use: Almost unnoticed, the body gets an extra dose of nutrients and can absorb food much better. At the same time, it gets an extra dose of energy and more well-being for mind and soul.

Chia seeds contain many antioxidants that not only scavenge free radicals and highly reactive oxygen compounds. They are important for cell maintenance and function. They help to maintain cell function. The antioxidants also prevent the seeds from spoiling quickly.

The seeds are very filling as they absorb ten times their weight in water and form a gel.

Athletes all over the world now include chia as part of their diet during training sessions. Chia seeds are rich in high-quality proteins, calcium and omega-3 and have an optimal ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids.

Last but not least, chia is a very inexpensive, concentrated food. 1/3 cup of dry chia seeds makes 500g of chia gel. Depending on how much gel you use, this 500g will probably last you an average of four days. You really don't need more than 1-2 tablespoons of chia gel per day.

What makes our organic chia seeds special?

  • Highest quality
  • Cultivation without pesticides and agrochemicals
  • Processed without the use of heat
  • Purification only via a "shaking process"

Use in the daily diet

The most common way to eat chia is to soak the seeds first, which then turns into a jelly-like mass. The seeds can absorb a large amount of liquid very quickly, ten times their volume in less than 10 minutes.

Chia gel

Add 1/3 cup of seeds to 2 cups of water. Stir the mixture and place it in the fridge, tightly covered. A gel (approx. 500g) will form within 10 minutes and can be consumed immediately. A longer soaking time of several hours is advisable, as this makes the nutrients easier to utilise. Chia gel will keep for several days in the fridge and you can use some of it whenever you like. You can add it to smoothies, salad dressings, desserts and mueslis or simply eat it on its own.

Whole seeds

Sprinkle the dry seeds on salads or add to muesli mixes. You can also try grinding the seeds in a coffee grinder and adding the resulting chia flour to smoothies, soups, bread, etc.

Chia sprouts are used similarly to alfalfa sprouts in salads, sandwiches and other dishes.

As chia seeds absorb a lot of water, they can lead to dehydration in the body. It is therefore important to drink enough water or - even better - to use seeds that have already been soaked.

How much to eat

Based on the Food and Commodities Ordinance LGV - Novel Food, the maximum daily intake of chia seeds is 15g (or a maximum of 5% for use in bread products). This amount must not be exceeded.

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.

It is best to start with 1 tsp per day and adjust the amount to your personal needs.

Suma Powder
Suma - Brazilian ginseng(Pfaffia paniculata) | 100% natural Suma root is also known as "Brazilian ginseng" due to its adaptogenic properties. However, it does not belong to the ginseng family, but to the foxtail family. Why consume suma? Suma contains a range of nutrients, including 19 amino acids, vitamins A, B1, B2, E, K, pantothenic acid, iron, silicon, magnesium, zinc and antioxidant saponins. Its relatively high content of germanium, a powerful antioxidant that can scavenge free radicals and highly reactive oxygen compounds at the cellular level, is important. Antioxidants are important for cell maintenance and function. Suma is known to improve the oxygen supply and energy efficiency of cells and to promote performance and endurance. For example, Russian Olympic athletes take suma to build muscle and increase their stamina without the negative effects of steroids. Known in Brazil as "para tudo" (for everything), suma has been used by the inhabitants of the Amazon for hundreds of years and is traditionally used to boost sexual vigour and raise the body's energy levels. Recommendations for use You can mix suma powder into smoothies, fruit juices and milk drinks or use it as an ingredient in muesli, homemade chocolate and other dishes. We recommend starting with half a teaspoon and increasing to a level teaspoon per day after a week. Due to its special adaptogenic properties, Suma should only be taken when needed and not over a longer period of time. We recommend a maximum of 1 month and then a break of at least 1 month. Note: In case of medical treatment, pregnancy or uncertainty, consult a specialist about the use of this product.

Wheatgrass contains a variety of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, phytochemicals and antioxidants - in an easily digestible form. Regular use of wheatgrass powder can help the body maintain its optimum level of all necessary nutrients. Its rich green colour is a testament to the abundance of chlorophyll, which is beneficial.

The wheatgrass powder is 100% pure, grown without pesticides or agrochemicals and is made from young shoots. The grasses grow outdoors in the sun-drenched, mineral-rich and fertile soils of New Zealand. They are harvested before the stalks develop and immediately dehydrated at body temperature.
