Goji berries - the super berries (100% natural) For thousands of years, goji berries have enriched the diet of the inhabitants of the Himalayan regions and energised them. Goji berries support a happy and active life, which is why goji berries are also called lucky berries in China. Why eat goji berries?The delicious bright red goji berries (Lycium) are one of the most nutritious fruits on the planet. The goji berry is not only a true superfruit, but it also tastes delicious and can be consumed very easily and in many ways. They are a source of complete protein with 18 amino acids, contain up to 21 trace elements, B vitamins, polysaccharides and much more. Gojis have more vitamin C than oranges, more beta-carotene than carrots and more iron than a steak! What makes our goji berries special? Our goji berries are grown in the fertile valleys of Ningxia Province in China without the use of pesticides and agrochemicals. There, on their native soil, the berries ripen on the bush, are harvested in the summer months and dried at low temperatures to preserve as many nutrients as possible. The berries are dried to a water content of 10-14% for a soft texture and can be rehydrated by simply soaking if required. Our pure goji berries are raw food quality, vegan and organically grown. How to use goji berries? Goji berries have a mildly spicy flavour that is slightly sweet and sour.

Wild organic blueberries - antioxidants and flavour combined Update: The blueberries 125g+250g are sold out. The new bottling will take place on 15.11. From then on they will be available again in all 3 weights (125g, 250g and 1kg). To complement our range, we are also stocking organic blueberry powder from Bosnia. Packed with healthy nutrients like no other fruit - a real superfruit. Why eat dried organic blueberries from wild harvesting? Great snack: delicious and nutritious Wide range of important nutrients and particularly rich in vitamins C, E and B6 as well as iron, fibre 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 protectors". According to researchers from Iran, this means that they can literally protect our brains from degeneration, neurotoxicity and oxidative stress. Particularly for a fruit is its high iron content, which boosts energy levels by producing 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). For healthy skin Skin care products containing bilberry extract are becoming increasingly popular around the world. It has been reported that the broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals helps to 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. What makes our wild organic blueberries special? 100% natural, gently processed and dried (raw food quality) No preservatives, colourings, sweeteners or other unnatural additives Natural flavour: sweet and sour, fruity and very aromatic Dark purple colour (high quality and purity) and quite dry and crispy Different sizes and origins Dried organic blueberries from wild collection are very difficult to obtain. In northern countries they are also often frozen or freeze-dried. The latest batch of air-dried blueberries comes from Bosnia again and we have packed them in 125g, 250g and 1kg bags. The difference between wild and cultivated blueberries They look almost the same. Both are blue, round and taste great. But what are the differences between these two berries? Wild blueberries compared to cultivated blueberries have a higher vitamin content and a much higher anthocyanin content. Blueberry has become a universal name for blue-coloured berries of the Vaccinium genus, but it is good to know the difference between cultivated blueberries (often called American blueberries or blueberries) and wild blueberries (European blueberries). While cultivated blueberries are grown in various places around the world, wild blueberries grow on small bushes mainly in the northern parts of the Northern Hemisphere. The anthocyanins in the wild blueberry are visible to the eye as blue and red pigments in the flesh, which is juicy and bluish-purple in colour. The cultivated blueberry, on the other hand, has an almost transparent white and somewhat floury flesh. The wild blueberry has certainly 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 the Second World War, when pilots noticed that their night vision was better on bombing missions after eating bilberry jam. Nowadays, only garden blueberries (American blueberries) from cultivation are available, which are simply not as good and significantly less rich in vital substances than wild blueberries. How to integrate them into your daily diet? Thanks to their intense, typical blueberry flavour, they are perfect as an addition to muesli, smoothies and as a dessert topping. When making smoothies, we recommend soaking the wild blueberries overnight to make them easier to blend. They also go well in yoghurt (including vegan coconut yoghurt) and honey. A real treat!

Cedar nuts from Siberia - a treasure of nature Update: Our cedar nuts are sold out. As the new batch will not arrive until March, we have bought a few 250g bags from Naturkostbar. These are also of very good quality. Cedar nuts taste similar to other pine nuts, but slightly sweeter and stronger. Unlike almost all commercially available pine nuts, our raw cedar nuts are not heat-treated. Why eat cedar nuts? Cedar nuts contain around 55% valuable unsaturated fatty acids, primarily linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid as well as the rare pinoleic/pinolenic acid. They are rich in tocopherols (vitamin E) as antioxidants as well as 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. For centuries, the inhabitants of Siberia have valued the widespread cedar (Pinus sibirica), a Swiss stone pine, not only as a source of valuable wood, but also for its tasty and highly nutritious seeds, which are found in the cedar cones. What makes our cedar nuts special? Almost all commercially available pine nuts are treated with heat to make them last longer. Our cedar nuts, on the other hand, are completely untreated, which preserves the broad spectrum of nutrients. Where do our cedar nuts come from? They come from the Lake Baikal region in Siberia and are harvested by hand. The Siberian pine is a true treasure of Siberian nature, forming vast areas of unspoilt forests throughout northern Russia. The huge, magnificent trees (up to 40 metres tall) grow slowly and the first cones with seeds only appear when the trees are around 30 years old. They are among the longest-lived tree species in existence, as they can live for 300 to 800 years! The evergreen cedar is a storehouse of cosmic light energy, capturing the energy rays from cosmic space in its millions of needles during its long life. Even thousands of years ago, ancient peoples valued the properties of the cedar tree, which they called "the eternal". The brushwood was used to prepare a vitamin drink, the resin was used to heal wounds and ulcers, and the seeds and their oil helped to survive the long, harsh winters in Siberia. How to use cedar nuts in everyday life? Cedar nuts taste delicious on their own as a snack or together with dried fruit and other nuts, goji berries and cocoa nibs. They can be sprinkled on salads and other dishes or added to mayonnaise, creams and milk. Cedar nuts add a certain elegance to your cooking. Cedar nuts and their oil are also very good for skin care and regeneration. We recommend keeping cedar nuts in the fridge after opening, especially in summer.

Breakfast muesli in raw food quality - for a perfect start to the day Danny Schmid from Rohkost Hüsli in Bülach makes this breakfast muesli by hand. In addition to this, we also stock her apricot muesli and sour cherry muesli. As the breakfast muesli is made from fresh organic ingredients and without preservatives in raw food quality, it only has a best-before date of 3-6 months. Why we love this breakfast muesli The crunchy bite together with the nutty flavour and the fruity, sweet sultanas and goji berries make us forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life for a short time. What's more, this breakfast muesli is only subtly sweetened with agave syrup. The pieces are unusually large for a muesli, but are therefore not only suitable for breakfast, but also as a tasty snack between meals. Breakfast muesli from Rohkost Hüsli To increase the enzymes and vitamins, Daniela sprouts the buckwheat for 12 hours. She uses only organic ingredients out of conviction. However, as she is a small company and not certified organic, this sour cherry muesli is not sold as organic.

3-Korn-Müesli angekeimt is now called Edelmüesli Pure Basics In addition to the muesli range from Rohkosthüsli(breakfast muesli, apricot muesli and sour cherry muesli), we now have the sprouted 3-grain muesli from Naturkostbar in our range. This combines sprouted wholemeal oat flakes, sprouted buckwheat seeds and sprouted sunflower seeds. They provide us with lots of minerals, trace elements and vitamins and make a perfect breakfast base. The wholesome three-grain mixture has a balanced, mildly nutty flavour. The grains contain less than 20 ppm gluten and are therefore also suitable as a gluten-free food. Origin and production Produced in Romania. The ingredients come from Holland, Poland and Hungary. Naturkostbar sources the sprouted wholemeal flakes and grains directly from a family business in Romania, which specialises in sprouted raw food and refines the harvests of numerous organic farmers from Europe. The mindful, natural philosophy fits perfectly with our values. Why sprout? Oats, buckwheat and sunflower seeds are sprouted after harvesting so that they can unfold their full mineral and vitamin density. Germination activates the dormant life forces in the grain, which allows the small germ to grow into a plant. These forces are then carefully preserved during the gentle drying process, making the buckwheat and sunflower seeds beautifully crunchy. The oats are carefully processed into wholemeal flakes and enrich the mixture with a variety of nutrients, fibre and amino acids. Use The wonderful three-grain mix is ideal as a nutrient-rich basic muesli. It tastes great in combination with fresh berries and fruit as well as sultanas, dates, hemp seeds, açai powder, cocoa powder and many other ingredients. Also suitable for cereal patties. Pure Basics muesli ingredients Sprouted organic oats Sprouted organic buckwheat Sprouted organic sunflower seeds Sprouted oats Sprouted raw oats contain an impressive variety of minerals, trace elements and vitamins. For example, the biotin in oats can support skin, hair and nails, and vitamins B1 and B6 can strengthen nerves and the psyche. Oats contain at least twice as much iron as meat. For good absorption, it is best to combine the flakes with fruit containing vitamin C or, in a savoury version, with salad and vegetables, for example as a grain burger. As a component of red blood cells, iron promotes the transport of oxygen in the blood. The grain also scores highly with magnesium and silicon. Oats also provide valuable antioxidants. Sprouted buckwheat Buckwheat contains all the essential amino acids and can therefore support the development of muscles, organs, cartilage, bones, skin, hair and nails. Buckwheat is also rich in iron and selenium. As a component of red blood cells, iron promotes the transport of oxygen in the blood. And selenium can protect cells from oxidative stress and promote the normal function of the thyroid gland. Sprouted sunflower seeds Sunflower seeds provide us with particularly high levels of vitamin E. They also contain vitamin B and a particularly high amount of unsaturated fatty acids. The seeds are a valuable source of folic acid, zinc and potassium. Phosphorus, iron and magnesium can contribute to normal energy metabolism. Sunflower seeds can also support our organism with their high content of essential amino acids. Amino acids are involved in almost all metabolic processes and transport important nutrients and oxygen through our body. Most hormones and antibodies are also made up of amino acids, so a deficiency can quickly manifest itself in a poorly functioning immune system.
