Why consume pomegranate seeds?

Not long ago, Japanese researchers discovered that pomegranates are rich in phytoestrogens, especially estrone. Estrone is a mild estrogen that is similar to the female sex hormones. The pomegranate also contains a lot of vitamin C, potassium, antioxidants and fiber. Furthermore, the pomegranate has a stimulating effect, which has a particularly positive effect on chronic fatigue, listlessness, infections and inflammation. The pomegranate contains large amounts of antioxidant secondary plant substances such as polyphenols (flavonoids, tannins).

What makes our pomegranate seeds special?

These premium organic pomegranate seeds are particularly dark violet, almost purple, and very rich in antioxidants. The pomegranate seeds are characterized by a red to dark purple color. During drying, the moisture in the segments is lost and the core with the fruity skin remains. The core is crispy and edible. The surrounding pulp together with the skin gives the seeds an aromatic, characteristic fruity taste.

Origin and exceptional production

The pomegranates are harvested by hand, one piece at a time, when fully ripe, and hand-peeled and sun-dried the same day by Silk Road Organic Foods processors. The drying process used is a very environmentally friendly solar drying method, which is also extremely gentle on the product. For the production of 100 g pomegranate seeds you need around 1 kg of fresh organic fruit, i.e. a ratio of 1:10!

These organic Fairtrade pomegranate seeds come from a remote mountain village in the Varganza Valley in southern Uzbekistan. They mature there on trees in the mountainous regions around Samarkand. The area is largely organic and FAIRTRADE certified and is farmed by the FAIRTRADE farmers who live there. The farmers belong to a large Fairtrade community made up of 3 groups, Dustkul Bogi, Turkiston Gulba and Turob Bobo. They include around 1,000 individual farmers, along with their families. Thanks to the cooperation with Fairtrade, the farmers can offer their families a secure income and their children a new perspective.

In Austria, the pomegranate seeds are pressure treated. When it comes to printing, the interaction of pressure and time ensures absolute freedom from pests.

The Story of the Pomegranate

The pomegranate has a legendary history: It probably triggered the Trojan War, in Christian culture the pomegranate is the symbol of Mary's fertility, it is also considered a symbol of life and the Egyptians put it in mummies. To this day it is considered an aphrodisiac and is a component of countless love drinks.

Cedarnuts Organic

Organic cedar nuts from Siberia - a true treasure of nature Update: In order to promote sales of the current batch with best before date 31.08.2024, we are offering a 30% discount on all size versions (250g, 500g, 1kg). 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.
