Maca Max schwarz – leichter verdaulich und absorbierbar Verschiedene Maca Sorten Aktuell umfasst unser Sortiment nebst dem hier beschriebenen Maca Max schwarz auch das rote und gelbe Maca Max. Ausserdem sind alle 3 Farben auch in Rohkostqualität verfügbar: Gelb, rot und schwarz. Warum Maca Max schwarz konsumieren? Maca erhöht unseren Energielevel.

Aus gesetzlichen Gründen (Schweizerische Lebensmittelverordnung) dürfen wir als Lebensmittelhändler keine Aussagen zu allfälligen Wirkungen aufführen. Machen Sie Ihre eignene Recherchen zu Maca im Internet. Wir finden unter anderem die Seite von Macapulver.org sehr informativ. Dort sind auch die verschiedenen Sorten beschrieben.  Warum Maca Max? Durch kurzes, starkes Erhitzen wird die im Maca enthaltene Stärke abgebaut, wodurch es leichter verdaulich wird als rohes Maca Pulver. Zudem können die enthaltenen Nähr- & Vitalstoffe besser aufgenommen werden. Dieser Prozess des Erhitzens wird auch als "Gelatinieren" be­zeich­net, weshalb man teilweise den englischen Begriff "gelatinized" liest. Dieses Verfahren hat jedoch überhaupt nichts mit Gelatine aus Knochen zu tun. Maca Max schwarz ist 100% vegan. Wer bei unserem Maca-Pulver in Rohkost-Qualität mit Blähungen reagiert, kann Maca Max schwarz als Alternative verwenden. Was macht unser schwarzes Maca Max Pulver besonders und wo wird es hergestellt? Unser schwarzes Maca-Pulver wird aus getrockneten, schwarzen Bio Maca-Wurzeln gewonnen. Diese stammt aus Höhenlagen von über 4000 Meter über Meer in der Region Junín in Peru. Die Maca-Wurzel ist seit tausenden von Jahren ein Grundlebensmittel der indigenen Völker der Anden und eine ausgezeichnete Quelle für Energie und Ausdauer. Wie schwarzes Maca Max Pulver im Alltag verwenden? Maca hat einen einzigartigen Geschmack und kann vielen verschiedenen Speisen beigefügt werden. Manche Leute finden, der Geschmack von Maca-Pulver erinnere etwas an Caramel mit einer peppigen Note. Maca-Pulver kann z.B. in Reis-, Nuss- oder Hanfmilch gerührt oder einfach ins Müesli gemischt werden. Mischen Sie Maca-Pulver mit Wasser, Milch Ihrer Wahl oder geben Sie es zu Saft, Smoothie, Müesli oder rohen Desserts. Maca ist auch ein gutes Bindemittel für Suppen und deshalb eine leckere Ergänzung dazu. Wir mögen Maca vor allem zusammen mit Haferflocken und als Zutat zu unseren rohen Schokolade-Rezepten. Es ist ratsam, mit einer kleinen Menge von ½ TL pro Tag zu beginnen und auf bis zu 1-4 EL pro Tag zu steigern. Tipp Macuccino: Vermische Maca Max mit (Nuss-) Milch, Zimt und Agaven-Dicksaft. Im Milchschäumer leicht erwärmen und als anregendes Getränk geniessen.

Organic Chia Seeds – Little Power Seeds The chia seed is an ancient superfood that has been used by the Mayans, Aztecs and Incas as early as 3500BC. It comes from the desert plant salvia hispanica and it grows in southern Mexico. Chia means "strength" in the language of the Mayans and was used as a “running food” because messengers could run all day with the help of these tiny seeds. Chia seeds were considered medicine and were actually prized more than gold due to their incredible health enhancing properties. Athletes from around the world now include chia in their nutritional regimens during training. Chia is rich in valuable protein, calcium and especially omega-3 fatty acids. It contains a very balanced ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which is  rare in foods. Chia seeds contains potent antioxidants, which not only help you to fight disease and defy age naturally, it also keeps the seeds from going off like other seeds such as flax. Chia can help with weight loss as it makes you feel full longer because the seeds absorb about ten times its weight in water and form a gel. Why we love Chia Seeds Chia seeds are a relatively new addition to our diets. We love them because they are so practical to use and without you noticing it, your body will have that extra dose of nutrition and will be able to assimilate foods much better, at the same time having an extra dose of energy and well being added to your mind and soul! We have been experimenting with these seeds and the result is that we feel uplifted and cheerful, a little bit like cacao does, but without the intensity too much cacao can give you at times. If you are of an athletic type, you will notice the difference in your performance and endurance straight away – it is really something extraordinary. Last but not least: Chia is a very economical, concentrated food. 1/3 cup of dry chia seeds makes about 500g of chia gel. Depending on how much gel you use, those 500g will likely last, on average, about four days. You do not need more than 1-2 tablespoons of Chia gel a day. SamaraNatura Chia Seeds Our chia seeds are heirloom quality and grown without use of pesticides and agrochemicals. There is no heat being used in the processing of our Chia seeds. They go through a shaking procedure to clean them, that’s all! Please note: We are selling chia seeds conform Novel Food Reg. for uses in bread products with max. 5 %. Use The most common way to eat Chia is to first soak the seeds. They can very rapidly absorb a large amount of liquid, between 9-12 times their volume, in under 10 minutes. The Basic Gel To make a basic Chia gel, simply add 1/3 cup of seeds to 2 cups of water. Stir the mixture well to avoid clumping, then leave it in your fridge in a sealed jar. This will yield around 500g of Chia gel and you can begin to eat the gel if you like as just 10 minutes is enough time for the gel to be formed. More of the nutrients will be easily accessible after a few hours however, so many people like to make up a batch like this and leave it in the fridge. It will stay good for some days and you can just reach into the fridge and take out some of the ready-made gel whenever you need. You might add it to smoothies, mix it with salad dressings, make puddings and mueslis, or simply take it by the spoonful. Whole Seeds You can also sprinkle the dry seeds onto salads or add them to muesli mixes. You may also want to experiment with grinding them first in a coffee grinder, to make a chia flour you can then add to smoothies, soups, breads and so on. Chia sprouts are used in a similar manner as alfalfa sprouts in salads, sandwiches and other dishes. Because chia seeds absorb lots of water, they can soak up the water from your body and cause you to dehydrate. Prevent this by drinking lots of water. Or, even better, take the seeds already hydrated so they will not absorb your own body fluids to hydrate. Serving Size Based on the Food and Utility Regulation LGV - Novel Food is the maximum consumption for chia seeds 15g per day. This quantity must not be exceeded.

Psyllium husks (organic) from India | Vegan & gluten free These small but powerful seed pods are rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals and can enrich your health and diet in many ways. What are psyllium husks and where do they come from? Psyllium seeds are the seed pods of the Plantago ovata plant, which is mainly planted in India and Pakistan. Why consume psyllium husks? The fiber (flosine mucus polysaccharides) contained in psyllium husks can bind more than 50 times more water. In the intestine, this leads to an increase in the volume of the stool, which in turn stimulates peristalsis (intestinal movement). The mucilage also makes the stool more slippery. Supports digestion: The high concentration of soluble fiber in psyllium husks promotes healthy digestion. The shells increase in volume when combined with liquid. Satiety and weight management: The peels swell in the stomach and provide a long-lasting feeling of fullness, which can make appetite control easier. Regulating blood sugar levels: The fiber in psyllium husks can help slow the rise in blood sugar levels after eating. Lowering cholesterol levels: By binding bile acids, psyllium husks can lower cholesterol levels. What makes our psyllium husks special? Our organic psyllium husks are of raw food quality and have the highest possible purity of 99%, which means they can contain a maximum of 1% whole psyllium seeds. The psyllium husks are tasteless. How can psyllium husks be integrated into your daily diet? High-fiber smoothies: Add a tablespoon of psyllium husks to your favorite smoothie and give it an extra dose of fiber. Binders in baked goods & for soups, sauces and creams: Replace for example eggs in baking recipes with a mixture of water and psyllium husks to make your baked goods vegan and high in fiber. Yogurt and muesli: Stir the seed pods into yogurt or muesli to increase the nutritional value of your meal. Use and dosage of psyllium husk 1-2 teaspoons up to 3 times a day, maximum 20g per day. A typical dosage is 1 to 2 tablespoons per day. Start with a smaller amount and gradually increase it to see how your body reacts. For optimal effect, take psyllium seeds 30 to 60 minutes before a meal or two hours afte. Important: Drink 2 glasses of water quickly after taking it.
