Açai powder (100% natural): Pure energy from the Amazon
Why consume açai powder?
The nutrients contained in açai are a wonderful mixture of antioxidants, omega-3, -6 and -9 fatty acids, vitamins and proteins. Açai is also very popular with athletes because the berry contains 19 amino acids that stimulate muscle activity, provide strength and long-lasting energy. A diet rich in antioxidants helps to slow down the ageing process.
In Brazil, açai has been a popular fruit for many years, used as a fruit puree, in drinks, ice creams and smoothies. The natives of the rainforest have been consuming açai for thousands of years.
What makes our açai powder special?
Our açai powder from Brazil is 100% natural, without fillers or chemicals. Due to the high fat content of the berries, long transport routes are impossible without a process to increase the shelf life of the fruit. This is why the berries are freeze-dried shortly after harvesting and then gently ground into a fine powder at a low temperature. The ingredients are thus preserved as far as possible.
Many of the açai powders available on the market are not pure, i.e. they are mixed with fillers that reduce their nutritional value. The stronger the violet colour of the powder, the more concentrated and pure it is. The colour is therefore a good indicator of the quality of the product. Our açai powder is made from 100% açai berries, without fillers and has a dark purple colour.
What does our açai powder taste like?
Açai powder tastes delicious: a delicious, unusual flavour! The excellent combination of omega fatty acids and the sustained energy it provides makes açai powder indispensable for us.
Where is açai powder made?
Açai is a berry with a beautiful intense purple colour that grows in the Brazilian rainforest on tall palm trees along the Amazon. A true gift from Mother Nature! The dark purple colour comes from special pigments called anthocyanins, which are powerful antioxidants.
Tips for use
This miracle berry can be wonderfully integrated into your daily diet. Açai powder goes well with desserts, many drinks, smoothies, yoghurt and sprinkled on muesli. It tastes great in homemade chocolate and ice cream.

Ashwagandha powder organic (100% natural)
Why consume ashwagandha powder?
Ashwagandha is one of the most important herbs in the Ayurvedic teachings of India. It has a balancing and invigorating effect as an adaptogen.
What makes our ashwagandha powder special?
Our Indian ashwagandha powder is made from 100% organic ashwagandha roots. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) belongs to the nightshade family and is also known as Indian ginseng, winter cherry or sleeping berry. The light yellow powder has a characteristically "rooty" to slightly sweet flavour.
How is our ashwagandha powder produced?
After harvesting, the organic ashwagandha roots are carefully cleaned, crushed and then sun-dried and air-dried. They are not (re-)dried in an oven. After quality control, the root pieces are ground into a fine powder.
The processing temperature is below 42°C, which is why the ashwagandha powder fulfils the raw food criteria.
Usage
Take 1 teaspoon (3g) once a day with water, juices, smoothies or other drinks, preferably in the evening.
Tip: lukewarm moon milk for sweet dreams!
Food supplement: The product is not intended as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. The recommended daily dose must not be exceeded. Use is not recommended for pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers. Keep out of the reach of children.

The African superfruit (100% natural)
Why baobab powder?
Baobab has a slightly citrusy, fruity and refreshing flavour and is rich in vitamin C and the minerals calcium, potassium, iron and magnesium. Due to its favourable calcium-phosphorus ratio in combination with vitamin C, the bioavailability of calcium and iron is particularly good. Baobab is ideal for vegans as it contains a lot of calcium - twice as much as milk.
Effect of baobab powder?
The baobab fruit contains approx. 50% fibre - half of which is particularly valuable soluble fibre - and therefore supports intestinal functions and regular digestion. Baobab also contains numerous phytonutrients, which are powerful antioxidants that help to protect cells and blood vessels from free radicals.
What makes our baobab powder special?
Our baobab powder is 100% pure, raw and chemical-free. The fruit pod contains the seeds and the naturally dried pulp. The natural fruit powder is separated from the seeds and fibres using a mechanical process.
Origin of our babobab powder
This superfruit originates from Africa. Its distribution in the western world helps African communities to reduce poverty and preserve nature at the same time. So baobab is good for us, good for Africans and good for the environment.
The African baobab tree (Adansonia digitata) or baobab tree (from the Arabic bu-hubub) is a characteristic part of the African savannah. It is also jokingly referred to as the "upside-down tree", as it looks as if its roots are sticking up into the sky like a ghostly silhouette. Africans have long valued this tree and its fruit and have given it various names such as the tree of life and the magic tree. Its thick trunk can store up to 300 litres of water, allowing the tree to survive long periods of drought.
The nutritious fruit powder forms naturally in the ripe fruit pod, which also contains the seeds.
Tips for everyday use
We like the flavour and use it pure with water and a little sweetener - a real treat. It is a wonderful ingredient for all cocoa and dessert creations, giving them a delicious, slightly sweet and sour flavour.
Due to its high pectin content (approx. 25%), baobab powder is particularly suitable for recipes where binding or thickening properties are required. Baobab is also a natural flavour enhancer and adds a special touch to any dish, whether sweet or savoury.
Baobab also goes well with muesli, in yoghurt, nut milk and as an ingredient in baked goods and desserts (with cocoa). If you like it sweeter, simply add a teaspoon of agave syrup.
Recipe with baobab powder
Try a refreshing vitality drink: mix 1 to 2 teaspoons of baobab powder with water and lemon or add it to juice or your favourite smoothie.

Maca black capsules organic
Update: The new batch of maca capsules will be filled with our black raw maca powder and will be available from 18 April 2025.
The advantages of Maca Max black capsules
Brief, intense heating breaks down the starch contained in maca, making it easier to digest than raw maca powder. In addition, the nutrients and vital substances it contains can be better absorbed.
This heating process is also known as "gelatinisation", which is why the term "gelatinised" is sometimes used. However, this process has nothing whatsoever to do with gelatine made from bones.
Who is it particularly suitable for?
Anyone who reacts to our Maca powder in raw food quality with flatulence can use Maca Max black as an alternative. Maca Max black is 100% vegan.
Maca root has been a staple food of the indigenous peoples of the Andes for thousands of years and is an excellent source of energy and stamina.
How to use
Start with 1-2 capsules, then increase to 3x 3 capsules per day as required. Take capsules with a little water.
Ingredients
100% black organic Maca Max powder with a concentration of 4:1.

✓ pure variety from 100% black maca roots
✓ Grown at altitudes of over 4000 metres above sea level in the Junín region of Peru
✓ Concentration 4:1, i.e. 4kg of maca tubers result in 1kg of maca powder
Why consume black maca powder?
The synergy of maca nutrients (naturally provided in the right proportions) helps the body to recover from various ailments, creating balance and well-being. Its effects are mainly focussed on the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, it supports the body in the production of hormones and thereby creates a balanced hormonal balance with all the associated health benefits.
It significantly improves strength and stamina and is a libido boosting superfood. It helps to rebuild a weakened immune system, remineralise poorly nourished bodies and increase energy and stamina.
Maca is rich in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sulphur, iron, zinc, iodine, copper, selenium and others. It is also rich in vitamins B1, B2, C and E. Maca is rich in biologically utilisable protein with an average of 11% in the dried root.
It has more calcium than milk, which is essential for nerves, circulatory system, growth of bones and teeth and vital heart functions.
The maca plant is one of the most powerful plants on earth. We love it because it increases energy levels and counteracts mental and physical fatigue and stress. It helps us feel strong, energised, grounded, happy and ready to face any challenge. Its energy is immediate and long-lasting, making us feel active and alive throughout the day without over-boosting our bodies. Besides all this, maca has a pleasant malty flavour and can be used in many different ways.
As we as a retailer are only allowed to make a few specific statements about the health effects of foods, we recommend that you research information about this product yourself on the Internet, for example at Zentrum der Gesundheit.
What makes our black maca powder special?
Our black maca is made from 100% pure black maca roots. These roots are the rarest of all maca colours, accounting for around 15% of the annual harvest. Studies have shown that black maca is the most effective maca colour for muscle building, endurance, mental focus, male libido and fertility.
Where is our black maca powder produced?
The black maca tubers all come from altitudes of over 4000 metres above sea level in the Junín region of Peru. SamaraNatura maca powder is made from 100% pure, natural, organically grown maca roots, produced under strict production standards and quality controls. Our powder is made from selected, sun-dried roots using a special production process, without the use of heat or irradiation at any stage of the production process.
Our suppliers work with small farmers, creating jobs for the local population and advising them on how to organise themselves as small businesses by providing training and financial support. This is a means of raising the standard of living of small farmers and at the same time increasing their crop yields.
History and traditional use
Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a savoury root vegetable grown in the high Andes of Peru. It has been cultivated since before the time of the Incas and has been a staple food for the indigenous peoples of the Andes and a source of energy and stamina for thousands of years.
In our modern world, maca root is consumed up to 3 times a day by Peruvians and other people around the world. It is used by professional athletes to the elderly to provide extra energy and stamina.
Uses
Maca has a unique flavour and can be added to many different dishes. Mix the maca powder with water, milk of your choice or add it to juice, smoothie, raw muesli or raw desserts. Maca is also a good binding agent for soups and therefore a tasty addition. We particularly like it together with oatmeal and as an ingredient in our raw chocolate recipes.
Start with a small amount of ½ teaspoon per day and increase up to 1-2 tablespoons per day.

Camu Camu (100% natural) powder with 15% vitamin C content
Why consume camu camu powder?
Camu Camu contains 2-3g of vitamin C per 100g of fresh fruit and around 10-12g per 100g of dried powder. This may not seem like much compared to synthetic vitamin C supplements, but the vitamin C in camu camu is a naturally occurring, highly bioavailable form and works synergistically in the body to maximise its benefits
The camu camu fruit has the highest documented natural vitamin C content of any food on earth
Compared to oranges, Camu Camu provides 30-60 times more vitamin C, 10 times more iron, 3 times more niacin, twice as much riboflavin and 50% more phosphorus!
We have found that Camu Camu energises, builds and improves mood. It helps us to stay active and in a good mood throughout the day. A pretty amazing effect for such a small berry
We all know about the high health value of vitamin C, and since camu camu exists, we can completely do without artificial, synthetic forms. For people like us, who are always on the lookout for what nature has to offer, this is a blessing
The berry is 100% natural and a powerful, highly concentrated food
Due to its natural origin and in combination with other vitamins, minerals, bioflavonoids and amino acids, the vitamin C contained in camu camu is fully absorbed by the body, which is not the case with synthetic vitamin C
What makes our camu camu powder special?
SamaraNatura Camu Camu grows wild in the Peruvian Amazon. The berries are harvested directly in boats equipped with freezing systems. The boats travel along the waterways of the Amazon, where the fruit is picked and shock-frozen when fully ripe. The fruit is then thawed, peeled, liquefied and spray-dried in a processing plant
The resulting powder is pale pink to yellow-brown in colour and contains powerful ingredients. We receive our camu camu in the form of a pure, unadulterated powder with an orange-light brown colour
It takes around 15kg of berries to produce 1kg of powder, which contains 10-12 per cent vitamin C by weight. Therefore, you only need a small amount to get an effective dose of antioxidants
Camu camu powder: frequently varying vitamin C content
We would like to point out that the vitamin C content of camu camu powder varies greatly. For example, there are also camu camu powders with only 5-6% vitamin C.
When making a comparison, pay attention to the vitamin C content, as the lower the content, the cheaper the product should be.
Influence on sustainable development of the Amazon basin
We also like the fact that the growing popularity of camu camu contributes to the sustainable development of the Amazon basin and helps the locals to maintain their traditional lifestyle.
How to use camu camu powder?
Like other superfoods, camu camu is very easy to use. Simply mix the powder into your morning smoothie or an afternoon pick-me-up drink.
Camu camu has quite an acidic flavour, although it does not have an acidifying effect on the body and is gentler on the stomach than synthetic ascorbic acid. It therefore tastes best when mixed with other ingredients.
Add about a quarter to half a teaspoon (2-3g) to juices, smoothies, ice creams, raw desserts or simply in your drinking water. It's a great way to balance the sweetness of fruit smoothies and desserts.
Tip: Camunade is a refreshing drink that gives you a good vitamin C boost. Simply sprinkle a teaspoon of Camu Camu into a glass of cold water (sparkling or still), add a squeeze of lime juice and a little sweetener (e.g. agave or yacon syrup) and shake briefly.
You can increase the daily amount if necessary (spread the intake throughout the day), but diarrhoea symptoms indicate an excessive intake of camu camu.

Organic Ceylon cinnamon powder (100% natural) - premium quality you can taste
This premium cinnamon powder from Sri Lanka, the original home of the cinnamon tree, is a fine and pure, particularly intensely flavoured cinnamon powder made from real Ceylon cinnamon! It is without doubt the tastiest and freshest cinnamon powder we have ever tasted.
True cinnamon has been used by humans since at least 3000 BC and grows naturally in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, India and Burma. Ceylon cinnamon came to Europe with the Portuguese navigator Vasco da Gama in 1502, which he brought back from Sri Lanka (Ceylon). Nowadays, it is more common to find the cassia cinnamon variety on the market, which comes from China, rather than the more aromatic true cinnamon.
The flavour of the cinnamon tree comes primarily from the cinnamon oil and other aromatic substances such as eugenol, which is also found in cloves.
True cinnamon is not only used for flavouring, but also has other interesting applications (*1).
Among other things, cinnamon is known to stimulate the appetite and aid digestion. It is also considered helpful for bacterial and fungal infections, inflammation and for lowering blood sugar. Cinnamon contains a very high antioxidant capacity of 131,420 µmol TE/100g (ORAC value = Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacit).
Since we as a retailer are only allowed to make a few specific statements about the health effects of foods, we recommend that you research information about this product yourself on the Internet, e.g. at Zentrum der Gesundheit.
Why we love organic Ceylon cinnamon powder
We love this premium cinnamon powder because of its truly unique and particularly aromatic cinnamon scent and flavour, which is not only associated with childhood memories of heavenly cinnamon sugar. Coconut sugar with cinnamon even surpasses the flavour experience and is also a healthy alternative to white sugar! Applesauce with cinnamon is another classic.
Recently, we have also been using cinnamon more and more in our evening turmeric drink (Facebook/blog link) and in chocolate drinks, as well as in curry dishes and teas. The beneficial properties of cinnamon are a very welcome "side effect".
SamaraNatura Cinnamon
The aroma and flavour of this 100% pure Ceylon cinnamon are particularly intense and fresh, which is achieved through rapid processing and optimal conditions!
This cinnamon comes from organic cultivation and fair trade from two local Fairtrade organisations with 2500 participating farmers. Thanks to the co-operation with Fairtrade, the farmers can earn a secure and independent living. The Fairtrade premium can be used to pay for projects such as clean drinking water, school materials for the children and educational projects.
Organic farming and fair trade relations have a decisive influence on the quality of the product. Many work steps are carried out traditionally and exclusively by hand.

We also continue to sell the freeze-dried dragon fruit powder. This has a sweeter taste and a bright pink colour. However, we recommend this sun/air-dried dragon fruit powder for the liver smoothie because it is processed more gently.

Why consume dragon fruit powder?
Dragon fruit powder is characterised by its high fibre content and is recommended for liver cleansing.

Why consume red maca powder?
The synergy of maca nutrients (naturally provided in the right proportions) helps the body to recover from various ailments, creating balance and well-being. Its effects are mainly focussed on the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, it supports the body in the production of hormones and thereby creates a balanced hormonal balance with all the associated health benefits.
It significantly improves strength and stamina and is a libido boosting superfood. It helps to rebuild a weakened immune system, remineralise poorly nourished bodies and increase energy and stamina.
Maca is rich in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sulphur, iron, zinc, iodine, copper, selenium and others. It is also rich in vitamins B1, B2, C and E. Maca is rich in biologically utilisable protein with an average of 11% in the dried root.
It has more calcium than milk, which is essential for nerves, circulatory system, growth of bones and teeth and vital heart functions.
The maca plant is one of the most powerful plants on earth. We love it because it increases energy levels and counteracts mental and physical fatigue and stress. It helps us feel strong, energised, grounded, happy and ready to face any challenge. Its energy is immediate and long-lasting, making us feel active and alive throughout the day without over-boosting our bodies. Besides all this, maca has a pleasant malty flavour and can be used in many different ways.
For legal reasons (Swiss Foodstuffs Ordinance), as a food retailer we are not allowed to make any statements about possible effects. Do your own research on maca on the Internet. We find Dr Schweikart 's website very informative. The different varieties are also described there.

Our red maca comes from 100% red maca roots. Studies have shown that they have the highest phytonutrient content of all maca colours. It is the most effective variety for general hormone balancing, female fertility and bone and prostate health. Red maca comprises about 25% of the annual harvest. It is the sweetest variety of all.

History and traditional use
Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a savoury root vegetable grown in the high Andes of Peru. It has been cultivated since before the time of the Incas and has been a staple food for the indigenous peoples of the Andes and a source of energy and stamina for thousands of years.
In our modern world, maca root is consumed up to 3 times a day by Peruvians and other people around the world. It is used by professional athletes to the elderly to provide extra energy and stamina.
How to use red maca powder?
Maca has a unique flavour that not all first-time users like the same. We find it malty, earthy and slightly sweet or sometimes a little nutty. Mix the maca powder with water, (nut) milk of your choice or as a supplementary ingredient. The flavour spectrum is perfect for smoothies, muesli or desserts.
Tip for those who still need to get used to the maca flavour: The combination with cocoa powder Criollo is not only tasty, but also interesting in terms of nutrients.
Maca is also a good binding agent for soups and is therefore a tasty addition. We particularly like it together with oatmeal and as an ingredient in our raw chocolate recipes.
Start with a small amount of ½ teaspoon per day and increase up to 1-2 tablespoons per day.

Suma - Brazilian ginseng(Pfaffia paniculata) | 100% natural
Suma root is also known as "Brazilian ginseng" due to its adaptogenic properties. However, it does not belong to the ginseng family, but to the foxtail family.
Why consume suma?
Suma contains a range of nutrients, including 19 amino acids, vitamins A, B1, B2, E, K, pantothenic acid, iron, silicon, magnesium, zinc and antioxidant saponins. Its relatively high content of germanium, a powerful antioxidant that can scavenge free radicals and highly reactive oxygen compounds at the cellular level, is important. Antioxidants are important for cell maintenance and function.
Suma is known to improve the oxygen supply and energy efficiency of cells and to promote performance and endurance. For example, Russian Olympic athletes take suma to build muscle and increase their stamina without the negative effects of steroids.
Known in Brazil as "para tudo" (for everything), suma has been used by the inhabitants of the Amazon for hundreds of years and is traditionally used to boost sexual vigour and increase the body's energy levels.
Recommendations for use
You can mix suma powder into smoothies, fruit juices and milk drinks or use it as an ingredient in muesli, homemade chocolate and other dishes. We recommend starting with half a teaspoon and increasing to a level teaspoon per day after a week. Due to its special adaptogenic properties, Suma should only be taken when needed and not over a longer period of time. We recommend a maximum of 1 month and then a break of at least 1 month.

Organic sunflower lecithin powder with total lecithin complex (100% natural)
What makes our sunflower lecithin powder special?
Our organic sunflower lecithin powder is a versatile natural emulsifier. Due to its unique structure, it effectively combines fat and water. Sunflower lecithin contains the natural lecithin complex (mixture of various phospholipids) from sunflower seeds. Phospholipids are components of cell membranes, among other things, and play an important role in our entire metabolism.
The yellow sunflower lecithin has a neutral flavour and is free from gluten and carriers. It is also generally GMO-free, as no genetic engineering is used in sunflower cultivation (in contrast to soya cultivation).
Where and how is our sunflower lecithin powder produced?
Our sunflower lecithin powder is produced in China, where the world's only CO2 de-oiling plant is located.
The organic sunflower seeds are mechanically pressed to extract the oil. The lecithin is then isolated from the oil by CO2 extraction. The result is a powdered, de-oiled pure lecithin. This process completely dispenses with the use of solvents.
How to use sunflower lecithin powder?
Sunflower lecithin has a pleasant flavour and is suitable as a food additive for smoothies and muesli as well as an emulsifier.
Sprinkle 1 heaped tablespoon (approx. 10g) over muesli or add to smoothies and nut milks. Suitable for chocolate production and for making glacé (ice cream). Can also be eaten on its own.
Sunflower lecithin should be stored at room temperature, protected from light and moisture (always seal the bag tightly).
Labelling
100% EMULSIFIER ORGANIC SUNFLOWER LECITHIN (E322).
Allergic reactions
Although it is basically allergen-free, we have received information from a customer who is highly allergic to sunflower seeds that he also has allergic reactions to sunflower lecithin. We therefore recommend that consumers who are allergic to sunflower seeds use sunflower lecithin with caution or avoid it altogether. Possible alternatives would be soya lecithin or almond puree, which also contains lecithin.
Uses
Sunflower lecithin can be used both as a food supplement and as an emulsifier for drinks. We recommend 1 heaped tablespoon (approx. 10g) as a guide for a smoothie or as an addition to muesli.For the production of almond drink, we recommend 25-40 grams of sunflower lecithin per litre.

It is best to start with 1 tsp per day and adjust the amount to your personal needs.
