Sour cherries: Organic, Raw & Fairtrade

Update: As PlantLife is bankrupt, we have packed the new batch of sour cherries in our own 250g bags. The quality and origin (Uzbekistan) are unchanged.

Our wild-collected organic sour cherries from Uzbekistan are very fruity and very tart in flavour. The bright dark colour is created during the gentle drying process.

Origin and production

The organic Fairtrade sour cherries come exclusively from Uzbekistan. The area is extensively certified organic and FAIRTRADE and is farmed by the FAIRTRADE farmers living there. The farmers belong to a large Fairtrade community, which is made up of 3 groups, Dustkul Bogi, Turkiston Gulba and Turob Bobo. They include around 1000 individual farmers and their families. Thanks to the co-operation with Fairtrade, the farmers can offer their families a secure income and their children a new perspective.

After harvesting, the sour cherries are washed, pitted and gently dried with the help of the sun. The solar drying method is very environmentally friendly and gentle on the produce.

Sour cherries (Prunus cerasus) belong to the rose family (Rosaceae). They have less flesh than sweet cherries. Sour cherries originally come from south-west Asia and, unlike sweet cherries, only became known in Europe in the Middle Ages.

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.

Wild prunes organic
Weight : 325g
Wild dried plum halves organic bag The raw, unoiled and unsulphured organic prune halves without stones have a delicious, sweet and sour flavour. They grow wild on the mountain slopes along the old Silk Road from Samarkand (Uzbekistan). The wild plums are gently dried in the sun at below 42°C to preserve their natural flavour and nutrients. They are slightly less soft than most plums, but in terms of flavour and nutritional value, they are the best in the world - if you ask us. To make them softer again, you can simply soak the prunes overnight. Why prunes are healthy? We've never understood why "prune" is a dirty word. Because prunes are a valuable food. Prunes are rich in fibre, which can also help with constipation. They also contain sorbitol, which gives them a mild laxative effect. We therefore recommend not snacking on more than a handful. They also contain potassium, niacin, manganese, iron and the mineral boron, which strengthens bones and muscles. Uses The dried fruit can be used in a variety of ways - as a snack between meals, as an exciting addition to muesli, for making your own nut and fruit bars or as an ingredient with a tangy flavour for savoury dishes. Warnings May contain traces of nuts.

Cedarnuts Organic
Cedar nuts from Siberia - a treasure of nature 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 approx. 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 and in 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.
