Algae & sea vegetables

Atlantic kombu (finger kelp) Caution: Due to its high natural iodine content, Atlantic kumbo is not suitable for consumption. Consmetic applications such as face masks are possible. Kombu or finger kelp (Laminaria digitata) belongs to the genus of large brown algae (kelp) and grows in dense stands in shallow waters in calm, sheltered bays. Atlantic kombu is a thinner and more delicate version of Japanese kombu and can be used in exactly the same way - boiled in soups, fried until crispy or steamed and marinated. Kombu is ideal for all bouillons/stocks, where it improves the flavour and nutrient content. In particular, it is used for cooking beans, as it makes the beans more digestible and softer and reduces the cooking time. Kombu is particularly rich in calcium, potassium and magnesium and is also rich in B vitamins. It also contains mannitol, a sugar alcohol, which gives it a slightly sweet flavour and plenty of glutamic acid, an essential amino acid. Why we love kombu Kombu is a wonderful addition to all cooked preparations, especially beans or pulses and soups, by adding a few strips. Bean dishes in particular cook more quickly and are easier to digest. SamaraNatura Kombu Our sea vegetables are collected wild in the north-west of Ireland (Donegal) and harvested by hand. With the help of a cold air drying system, the seaweed is dried very gently and in raw food quality. Usage To enjoy kombu straight from the bag, tear it into strips. A salty, chewy snack that becomes sweeter in flavour over time. For cooking in general, it is best to soak kombu in water for 10 minutes and then simmer it with the dish for 40 minutes. As an alternative to conventional bouillons: one 8 cm long piece per litre of liquid is simmered for at least 10 minutes. Optionally, remove and cut up and add again later or simmer for longer for more flavour. Salads: Soak kombu in water for an hour (or longer), then marinate (for 1-24 hours) or fry in oil. Chop into bite-sized pieces and mix into the salad. The soaking water is nutritious and should also be used, e.g. as a dressing. Beans: Natural glutamates in kombu enhance the flavour and soften the beans. Boil a 5 cm piece of kombu with the beans for at least 10 minutes, for a thick and rich bean broth until the beans are soft. No need to add salt. Serve as a snack or garnish: Tear or chop the kelp/kombu into bite-sized pieces. Roast at 150°C for 3-5 minutes or fry in a frying pan until crispy. Sprinkle these kelp chips over salads, cereals and pasta or enjoy them straight away as a crispy snack. Sea vegetables in general Sea vegetables are wild plants of the ocean that grow on coral reefs and rocky coasts, usually in salt water. Sea vegetables are enjoyed in many coastal regions around the world and enrich most dishes with flavour and nutrients. Sea vegetables contain almost all the minerals and trace elements that the sea has to offer! In general, sea vegetables are an excellent source of calcium, iodine and sodium, a very good source of folic acid and magnesium and a good source of iron, potassium, vitamin B2 and B5. They also contain vitamin K and trace elements such as selenium and chromium, which are often lacking in land vegetables due to depleted soils. When consumed regularly and over a long period of time, sea vegetables are said to help regulate metabolism and energy levels, stimulate the immune system, promote regular digestion, purify the blood and support the endocrine glands - especially the thyroid gland. Sea vegetables are an ideal substitute for salt in the diet.

Organic Chlorella Vulgaris Powder (100% natural) - The green miracle What is chlorella? Chlorella is a microscopically small, single-celled algae that occurs naturally in fresh water. It is the oldest form of plant life known to us that has a real cell nucleus. Chlorella has been used and revered as a powerful superfood in many traditional cultures. Why consume chlorella? Chlorella provides a veritable flood of nutrients for the body. Minerals, rare trace elements, vitamins (including vitamin D) and a broad spectrum of enzymes (including pepsin). Chlorella consists of 60% complete and easily digestible proteins. The plant also contains essential fatty acids, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), which are important for cell regeneration, and secondary plant substances with disease-defence properties such as carotenoids, lutein, astaxanthin and others. Chlorella has the highest chlorophyll content of all known plants, four times as much as normal plants! Chlorophyll is also known as green plant blood, as its molecular composition hardly differs from human haemoglobin. Chlorophyll has antioxidant properties, purifies the blood and supplies it with oxygen. Chlorella is known as a valuable aid in protecting the body from environmental toxins and radiation. Its fibrous outer cell walls are able to bind and eliminate heavy metals (amalgam, cadmium, lead), pesticides, medicines and other toxins that accumulate in the body. It is therefore very important to drink plenty of water when taking chlorella. Because of its nutritional richness, chlorella is nature's ideal food. When taken together with spirulina, you have almost perfect ratios of the most important nutrients the body needs. Chlorella has been and continues to be the subject of intense research and this tiny, fantastic creature may yet be of great help with global and worrying problems such as cancer, nuclear disasters and environmental pollution, as well as nutritional issues and mental disorders. What makes our organic chlorella powder from Taiwan special? Our chlorella powder is 100% natural and additive-free. Our chlorella comes from an algae farm in southern Taiwan, which was the first to be recognised by the German organic farming association Naturland. The algae grow outdoors under intense sunlight in pure fresh water of drinking water quality. The cultivation of only strong, healthy strains of microalgae guarantees first-class quality. The microalgae are gently harvested at the time of highest nutrient density, then pre-centrifuged and spray-dried in seconds using a special process. The hard cell wall of chlorella is gently broken up using a vacuum process to make it easier to digest. What makes chlorella unique? Chlorella can quadruple in quantity every 20 hours, and no other plant on earth can do that! This is due to the so-called Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF), a complex of many substances in very small quantities, including RNA, DNA, amino acids, vitamins and minerals, the exact properties of which have not yet been identified. However, laboratory tests have shown that the addition of CGF stimulates growth processes by increasing the growth of beneficial bacteria such as Lactobacillus by up to 400%. Because chlorella has a perfect single reproductive cell, it is more advanced than the other more common green microalgae. This is why its DNA / RNA is said to be of better quality. Nucleic acids are important for cell regeneration and support the production of new tissue. How to use chlorella powder? Chlorella can be taken in tablet form or as a powder. The tablets are easier to take, but their quality can be affected by the possible use of binding agents and heating during manufacture (not applicable to our tablets). Powdered chlorella can be mixed into vegetable and fruit juices or smoothies. It adds a rich, thick texture to any liquid. Chlorella powder can also be added to foods such as cream cheese, mayonnaise, ice cream, pasta and rice to enhance flavour and nutritional value. As it contains growth-promoting substances, it can also be a valuable ingredient for bread and fermented drinks. Recommended dosages: Start with 400 mg per day and slowly take more as your body acclimatises to chlorella. Children and beginners: 400 mg - 3 g per day Adults: 5 - 6 g per day For detoxification: 20 - 25 g per day (drink plenty of water!) For severe health problems, a higher dose of up to 30 g per day may be necessary until health improves. Chlorella can generally be taken safely in high doses. Under normal conditions, we recommend the regular intake of chlorella together with spirulina in a ratio of 1:2 (5g chlorella + 10g spirulina). This provides the body with all the necessary nutrients in a balanced way. Some effects of chlorella are immediately noticeable, e.g. the improvement in bad breath, but it can take 3-6 months for chlorella's nourishing powers to fully unfold.

What makes our chlorella tablets special? Our chlorella tablets are made from 100% natural organic chlorella microalgae powder. The tablets are pressed on site from fresh powder without any pressing aids or additives. To ensure the high quality requirements, each batch of organic chlorella tablets is checked for toxins, heavy metals and other contaminants by an independent laboratory in Germany. Where does our chlorella come from and how is it processed? Our chlorella comes from an algae farm in southern Taiwan, which was the first to be recognised by the German organic farming association Naturland. Laboratory tests have shown that this chlorella (along with only one other) is one of the cleanest chlorella strains in the world! The algae grow outdoors under intense sunlight in pure fresh water of drinking water quality. The cultivation of only strong, healthy microalgae strains guarantees first-class quality. The microalgae are gently harvested at the time of highest nutrient density, then pre-centrifuged and spray-dried within 3 seconds using a special process. The hard cell wall of chlorella is gently broken up using a vacuum process to make it easier to digest. During this process, the temperature of the mass does not rise above 40°C -> raw food quality.

Update: The new batch is ground finer than before. The dulse flakes are only approx. 1 mm in size. Atlantic dulse flakes from Ireland, organic & raw food quality What is dulse? Atlantic dulse or lobster seaweed (Palmaria palmata) is a red algae, crunchy with a bite and a strong purple-red colour. It does not need to be cooked or soaked and can therefore be used in many different ways in the kitchen. Dulse is extremely low in calories, fat- and cholesterol-free, rich in minerals as well as vitamin B6, fibre and protein. It has the highest iron content of all sea vegetables. 10g of dried dulse is equivalent to around 100g of fresh dulse. Why consume dulse? Dulse is one of the easiest sea vegetables to use. It tastes mild and spicy and adds flavour and colour to any dish. It is also one of the few purple-coloured foods and purple is the colour of spiritual consciousness, the third eye. What makes our dulse flakes from Ireland special? The dulse seaweed comes from quality producers in Ireland. After harvesting, the wild-growing organic dulse is dried very gently and in raw food quality using a cold air drying system. They are then ground into flakes. Please note: Due to the wild harvest, small mussels may adhere to the dulse leaves. The producer himself and we check the purity as well as possible when packing into the bags. For safety reasons, we ask you to briefly check the dulse flakes before eating them. Varying consistency (bite resistance) The consistency (firmness) of the dulse flakes can vary depending on the batch and season. This may be due to the time of harvest or the development of the individual plants at the time of harvest. Dulse algae are wild-growing plants. They are generally harvested shortly before flowering so that the plants are still young enough to be sufficiently tender. Prolonged soaking or heating (boiling) reduces the bite strength. How to use dulse flakes? Dulse has been traditionally harvested for generations and can be eaten straight from the bag (rinsed beforehand if necessary) or used as an ingredient in smoothies (e.g. for detox smoothies). They are also suitable as a topping for salads, sandwiches as well as lentil dishes or rice dishes.Dulse is also suitable steamed over potatoes or crispy roasted as a snack and other dishes.

Irish Carragheen Moss Irish carragheen moss is an algae that grows mainly on rocks along the Atlantic coast of Europe. It was first discovered near Ireland, hence the name. Why consume Irish moss? Irish moss is thought to contain at least 15 essential elements that are key components of the human body. Some of the elements found in the algae, which are present in impressive quantities: Calcium, potassium, iodine and vitamins such as A, D and E. The main health benefits of Irish moss are due to its high carrageenan content (up to 71%). This substance has been used for centuries as a traditional medicine to make medicinal teas and cough syrups to combat colds, bronchitis and even hangovers after excessive alcohol consumption. We appreciate that Irish Moss soothes the digestive and respiratory tracts and is excellent for sensitive guts and stomachs. Ideal food for sensitive people. Irish moss is the main source of carrageenan, which is used as a vegan thickening agent in many products and recipes and has recently been patented as an antiviral agent. It is the vegan version of gelatine and is widely used as a thickening agent in stews, sauces, jams and many desserts. We have used Irish moss in several dessert recipes and it works wonderfully to make them airy and light, and it reduces the large amount of nuts needed, which is often used in vegan recipes. It also contributes a large amount of minerals to recipes and is virtually flavourless. A perfect addition to smoothies. Last but not least, it is a very affordable and easy way to include many minerals in our diets that might otherwise go to waste. Irish moss for the skin Our personal experience is that it is very good for dry skin, including eczema and other skin conditions. We always keep a jar of Irish Moss nearby to use on our skin. What makes our Irish Moss special? The harvesting area is in Kilcar/Donegal in the north-west of Ireland. Harvesting is done by hand, with great respect and care for the marine environment. The harvested seaweed is rinsed on the shore and then dried at low temperatures to preserve its rich nutritional content. Our organic certification requires that all seaweed is harvested only from clean shores, free from contamination, that the seaweed is processed within just a few hours and that the harvesters work with the utmost respect for the marine environment. In addition, regular analyses ensure that all algae products are safe and healthy to eat. Algaran also guarantees with full documentation that their seaweed is only of local Irish origin, that it contains no heavy metals (contamination index), that processing temperatures never exceed 30°C and that it is freshly harvested (date of harvest is on the label). Interesting facts about Irish moss The Irish people used the seaweed during the Irish famine in the 19th century and since then its popularity has grown exponentially. Irish moss also grows on rocks on Jamaica's shores and its popularity on the island grew when the Irish brought their traditional use of the seaweed to the island. It is one of the most commonly used seaweeds. In Ireland, for example, it is traditionally used for colds and as a tonic in the cold winters, while in other countries it is also known as an aphrodisiac. Use of Irish moss | Recipe recommendation The basic jelly made from Irish moss contains all the minerals and nutrients of the plant and can be used in delicious desserts. The basic jelly is made as follows: Soak 20g of Irish moss in a bowl of cold water for 30-60 minutes and then rinse. Pour 9dl of water and the soaked Irish moss into a pan. Bring to the boil and simmer for 30 to 60 minutes. Stir from time to time to ensure the mixture does not stick to the bottom of the pan. The Irish moss will break into pieces and the mixture will become gelatinous. While the mixture is still warm, remove any fragments that have not yet dissolved and pour the gel into sterilised bottles and keep in the fridge. Use a spoonful in desserts, soups, stews, sauces, smoothies or dissolve in water for a soothing tea (add your favourite spices). It will keep in the fridge for several weeks. When it starts to smell slightly spicy, the mixture is spoilt and can no longer be used. Irish moss is also excellent to apply to the skin: for burns, chapped skin, eczema and cold sores. It is very often used in the natural cosmetics industry for its soothing and antiviral properties.

Irish wakame - wild collections from the Irish Atlantic coast Irish wakame is an algae that grows mainly on rocks along the Atlantic coast of Europe. It was first discovered near Ireland, hence the name. The Irish people used the seaweed during the Irish famine in the 19th century and since then its popularity has grown exponentially. Why we love Irish wakame With its high calcium content, this seaweed is a great addition to the diet. The taste of wakame is quite acceptable by seaweed standards as it does not have a fishy flavour.

Update: The Marine Phytoplankton from Oceans Alive® is now called Recharge and has been given a new design. Marine phytoplankton - superfood from the sea Phytoplankton are microscopic marine algae that form the basis of the food chain. This unique superfood from the ocean can noticeably boost the body's energy levels, especially when consumed daily. Due to its abundance of minerals and vitamins and the original life force absorbed from the sun, one can experience a new, whole-body inner strength by taking the concentrate. People who consume marine phytoplankton report many positive experiences for the body. Marine phytoplankton is a living, holistic and concentrated raw food that can be preserved without refrigeration. Because it is very concentrated, you only need a small amount. Why we love marine phytoplankton The microscopic plants that form the immeasurably large base of the oceanic food chain produce an incredible amount of energy - five times the annual energy consumption of the human world, according to a study by Florida State University! Phytoplankton stores as much energy as humans produce in a year. This makes phytoplankton not only an incredible source of nutrition, but also a significant source of bio-energy. Marine phytoplankton produces more oxygen than all the forests on earth combined. Phytoplankton is a precious, complete food, "Mother Earth's milk from the sea", giving the body virtually all the raw materials it needs in a single food source. Phytoplankton is the smallest of all microalgae. Oceans Alive® Recharge Marine Phytoplankton The marine phytoplankton is cultivated in Spain, is of raw food quality and is produced without the use of pesticides or agrochemicals. After extensive research on phytoplankton, only four species out of 400 were found to be particularly beneficial to humans, from which a particularly nutritious species was selected for production as human food. This particular species grows in sophisticated bio-reactors with natural seawater in a simulated "spring bloom environment" where natural photosynthesis is enabled with the help of sunlight. To produce the liquid solution, the living biomass is mixed with a concentrated ionic trace element solution as soon as it is removed from the centrifuge. The concentrated solution, which is produced in a natural evaporation process using sun and wind, contains more than 90 ionic minerals and trace elements. The purified seawater concentrate can preserve the original life energy of the marine phytoplankton in "suspended animation" so that it can be bottled and stored at room temperature without loss of quality. The living solution is then charged with biophotons and potentised with its own frequency to maximise its life force. The result is a living, holistic, concentrated raw food quality food that does not require refrigeration. Uses Marine phytoplankton is very concentrated, even a small amount is sufficient. Recommended intake: 5-15 drops daily, starting with a smaller amount and increasing over a longer period of time. It is easiest to drip the concentrate under the tongue, whereby the essential nutrients are absorbed directly into the body without passing through the digestive system. You can also put the drops in a jug of water and drink it throughout the day. Another option is to take the liquid essence with your favourite drink (juice, smoothie, milk drink). There is said to be a special synergy between water kefir and marine phytoplankton. Try it out. Marine phytoplankton is best when taken with liquids and on an empty stomach so that the body fully absorbs the nutrients. Children: Children (from 18 months) can also take marine phytoplankton. However, it is advisable to reduce the amount to 5-10 drops per day. From the age of 15, the adult dose of 5-15 drops can be taken. The challenge with children is unfortunately the taste. Marine phytoplankton has an intense algae flavour. If the child does not accept the flavour, we recommend mixing it with fruit juices. Note: Like almost all microalgae, marine phytoplankton is rich in vitamin K. Contents A 30ml bottle contains approximately 750 drops. 25 drops make approx. one millilitre.If you take 12 drops per day, the bottle will last for about 62 days. Nutritional information 12 drops contain 34mg magnesium, 336mg marine minerals, 130mg Nannochloropsis Gaditana algae and 14mg Tetraselmis phytoplankton. Ingredients Nannochloropsis Gaditana phytoplankton, Tetraselmis phytoplankton and concentrated, purified marine minerals. Storage Cool, dark and dry. Marine Phytoplankton is not heat-sensitive and does not need to be stored refrigerated even after opening. However, it is important that the product is not directly exposed to the sun. If you do not consume it for a longer period of time, it does not hurt to keep the open bottle in the refrigerator.

They are versatile, exceptionally nutritious and fun to prepare. Organic sea spaghetti from Algaran Our sea vegetables are collected wild in the north-west of Ireland (Donegal) and harvested by hand. With the help of a cold air drying system, the seaweed is dried very gently and in raw food quality. It is best to soak the spaghetti for at least 2 hours or overnight. During soaking, the spaghetti increases in volume and becomes soft, similar to al dente cooked pasta. Sea spaghetti is delicious with a tomato-pepperoni sauce with cashew cream or tomato sauce with garlic and parsley, for example. They also taste delicious with pesto. 40g of dried sea spaghetti make about 400g of soaked sea spaghetti.

Spirulina powder - the high-quality original from Hawaii (100% natural) What is spirulina? Spirulina is a single-celled, filamentous blue-green algae and one of the first life forms on this planet. Richer in high-quality protein (contains 18 amino acids) than any other food, the microalgae also contains a wealth of vitamins, minerals, important antioxidants such as SOD and phycocyanin, polysaccharides and the rare gamma-linolenic acid. Spirulina is at the forefront of the nutritional revolution. With its rich composition and ability to grow even under unfavourable conditions, the microalgae has great potential to become a food source that will help feed the world's population. By integrating spirulina into our diet, we are making a contribution to solving the food crisis. The effect of spirulina? Spirulina is a valuable food. The algae is incredibly rich, a "wholefood". It is believed to contain all the vital substances that the human body needs. The high density of vital substances brings vitality and well-being. The antioxidants can scavenge free radicals and highly reactive oxygen compounds and are therefore important for the maintenance and function of cells. The detailed nutritional values are listed below. What makes our spirulina powder special? Our Spirulina Pacifica has been cultivated in Hawaii for over 25 years(video with flight over the plantation) and is regarded as one of the highest quality spirulina in the world. In a special, oxygen-free drying system, the spirulina is dried very gently so that more nutrients and enzymes are retained - e.g. over 40% more ß-carotene and over 75% more zeaxanthin - than is possible with conventional drying systems. Spirulina Pacifica is grown in open ponds 20 cm deep, a few hundred metres from the Pacific Ocean. To fill the ponds, fresh water is mixed with seawater from a depth of 600 metres, which is rich in minerals and trace elements. The other most important substances for cultivation in terms of quantity are food-grade baking powder (sodium bicarbonate) and carbon dioxide. Food-grade fertilisers are also used. Paddle wheels move the water to provide the algae with uniform sunlight for optimal growth conditions and nutrient uptake. Spirulina from Hawaii is grown without pesticides or herbicides and does not contain any genetically modified organisms. Our spirulina is called Spirulina Pacifica and is a selected strain of Spirulina platensis that has developed over many years of cultivation in Hawaii. Spirulina Pacifica was intensively analysed by molecular biologists at the University of Hawaii. They identified new enzymes that were not found in other Spirulina platensis strains. Tips for use in everyday nutrition The powder is most often mixed with fruit and vegetable juices. Spring water is also very good and promotes maximum absorption. Spirulina can also be added to food like a spice to avoid loss of nutrients, but it should only be heated a little. Spirulina has a unique flavour that blends well with almost anything. If you are not used to the flavour of green foods, it may take some getting used to at first. If you find that your energy is running low during the day, take some spirulina with water and observe how your body feels 1-2 hours later. You will be amazed. Recommended intake Beginners and children: 1-2 g per day Adults: up to 3g per day It is recommended to start with 1 teaspoon (5 g) or slightly less and gradually increase the intake up to 10 g (1 heaped tablespoon) to avoid indigestion. Taking 1 tsp one hour before meals can help to reduce appetite. The dry powder absorbs water from the air, so the packaging should be tightly sealed and stored in a cool, dry and dark place Complementary product recommendations We recommend taking spirulina together with chlorella in a ratio of 2:1.
