Swiss Sea Buckthorne Syrup

Sea buckthorn - the berries richest in vitamin C in Europe Update: The 500ml bottles are currently sold out. The new delivery should arrive on Wednesday 4 December. We accept pre-orders and dispatch them automatically after receipt of goods. Original juice means that this sea buckthorn juice contains no additives, is gently cold-pressed and is not pasteurised. This is not even necessary due to the naturally high vitamin C content. This makes this sea buckthorn juice one of the few in raw food quality! Further advantages of this unique product: Wild collections: In contrast to sea buckthorn from plantations, these berries from wild collections are significantly smaller and have a thicker skin. The vitamin and vital substance content is unique and incomparably high, approx. five times that of sea buckthorn from plantations. Local: The berries come from hard-to-reach areas in the Grisons Oberland and Valais and are processed by Margrit and Adolf Hartmann in Trans GR. Regular fresh pressings: After harvesting, some of the berries are frozen so that they can be pressed fresh regularly until the following summer. The wild sea buckthorn berries naturally tolerate the cold very well. Family business: The wild berries are harvested by hand by Mr and Mrs Hartmann. The whole bushes are cut off and rolled up in jute sacks. The two donkeys, Fiona and Meli, help with the transport down to the valley. Fair prices: At first glance, the price may seem high compared to other sea buckthorn juices. If you consider the origin and all the manual labour, the price is more than justified. Hartmanns do not maximise profits and have not increased prices for over 20 years. Harvested from wild sea buckthorn bushes in the Swiss Alps The orange berries of the sea buckthorn bush, which are collected in the remote Swiss mountain valleys, are highly regarded by experts. The vital substance content is very high, especially vitamin C. The vitamin C content has been repeatedly tested by the manufacturer in Swiss test laboratories. These revealed vitamin C values of 18000 to 22000 mg/kg juice. Usual values for good plantation varieties are 3000 to 5000 mg/kg juice. This is 36 to 44 times more than that of fresh orange juice. The richness of all its ingredients is unrivalled. More than 12 vitamins: A, B1, B2, B5, B6, B12, C, E, F, H, P, PP, glycosides, flavonoids, saponins, omega-3, -6 and -9 fatty acids, fruit acids and mineral trace elements are contained in ripe sea buckthorn berries. Vitamin C is most effective in natural combination with other vital substances. Sea buckthorn juice also contains sea buckthorn pulp oil. Sea buckthorn juice in raw food quality The whole berries are pressed very gently at low temperatures. The very high acid content - due to the high vitamin C content - and the clean processing mean that the juice does not need to be pasteurised and can be kept for at least 6 months. This preserves all the vital substances. The juice is very refreshing thanks to its vitamin C content and strong sea buckthorn flavour. The high vitamin P content supports the stability and absorption of vitamin C. Harvesting and processing the berries to make sea buckthorn juice The berries, which grow wild at around 1000 metres above sea level, are harvested by Margrit and Adolf Hartmann by hand in rough terrain in the Valais and Grisons Oberland. Compared to cultivated plants, these berries are smaller but richer in vitamins. Harvest time is between August and October. The berries and thorny branches are cut off with electric shears and placed in large jute sacks. The two donkeys "Fiona" and "Meli" help to carry the heavy sacks down into the valley. All the sea buckthorn berries are processed on the Hartmann couple's farm in Trans im Domleschg. In the comprehensive report by nau.ch Sanddorn - Das Alpengold aus Graubünden (nau.ch) and in the 5-minute TeleZüri report "Heimisch exotisch" from 5 August 2020, you can see how the harvest takes place: Heimisch exotisch: Sea buckthorn - TeleZüri (telezueri.ch). Sea buckthorn juice or syrup For people who don't like this completely unsweetened original juice, we recommend sea buckthorn syrup, which is pleasantly sweetened with fructose and birnel. The sea buckthorn fruit content of the syrup is still 60%. Note: The berries are wild fruits and are grown without pesticides or agrochemicals. However, due to the very large harvesting area, organic certification is not financially viable. Use of Swiss sea buckthorn juice Sea buckthorn juice tastes best on its own, slightly sweetened or added to water, fruit juices, tea, yoghurt, muesli and desserts. Take 2 to 5 tablespoons a day, depending on your personal requirements. Storage As the sea buckthorn juice is unpasteurised, we generally recommend storing it in a cool place. This is the best way to preserve the vitamins and fresh flavour. We deliberately only order small batches from the producer every few weeks so that we can offer freshly pressed sea buckthorn juice on a regular basis. Size variations Sea buckthorn juice is available in a 5dl bottle for CHF 28 and in an inexpensive 7.5dl bottle for CHF 39. A quantity discount of 5% is granted for orders of 3 or more.

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.

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.

Coconut blossom syrup - mild aromatic sweetener Coconut blossom syrup is a very special juice. This can be seen in its elaborate extraction process. The organic coconut farmers climb the coconut palms every day to extract it fresh from the coconut blossoms. Why we love coconut blossom syrup Coconut blossom syrup has a mild, aromatic flavour and is also one of the most nutritious sweeteners thanks to its many vitamins and essential amino acids. An absolute delicacy. It is suitable for sweetening instead of honey or agave syrup. Like coconut blossom sugar, coconut syrup has a low glycaemic index (GI) of just 35. SamaraNatura organic coconut blossom syrup The syrup is produced gently from coconut blossom nectar by boiling the nectar slowly and carefully by hand. Due to the processing method, coconut blossom syrup cannot be produced in raw food quality. The mildly flavoured coconut blossom syrup is also one of the most nutritious sweeteners due to its many vitamins and essential amino acids. 100% organic coconut blossom syrup, consisting of water and organic coconut blossom sugar without additives Vegan Use Due to its aromatic caramel flavour, coconut blossom syrup is ideal for sweetening desserts, pancakes and chocolate. You can use the syrup in a variety of ways. Pour it over water, for example, and you have a refreshing drink that is very popular in Asia. Coconut blossom syrup goes well with other tropical drinks such as rum or exotic juices, making it ideal for mixing cocktails. Other uses include flavouring and sweetening: Creams salad dressings smoothies teas Nutritional values of coconut blossom syrup per 100g energy 1309 kJ / 312 kcal fat 0.1 g - of which saturated fatty acids 0 g Carbohydrates 78 g - thereof sugar 78 g Dietary fibre 0 g protein 0 g salt 0 g

Organic Yacon Syrup - Delicious, prebiotic sweetener Update: The new batch of yacon syrup is now available again. Yacon is grown in the high mountain valleys of the Andes and has a dense root system that is bursting with minerals, vitamins and complex vital substances. The freshly squeezed juice of the root is a gift of nature and has been savoured by the Andean peoples for centuries. Why consume yacon syrup? An ideal sweetener for the health-conscious, diet-conscious and diabetics. The special thing about yacon is the quality of its sugar, which is predominantly in the form of oligofructose (or fructooligosaccharides). Oligofructose cannot be utilised by the digestive enzymes and therefore causes hardly any calories and is gentle on the blood sugar level. Yacon tastes delicious and has half the calories of honey, for example. Yacon syrup is also significantly less glycaemic than honey, agave syrup or maple syrup. The oligofructose in yacon also supports the beneficial bacteria in the large intestine and thus improves the digestion and absorption of nutrients. The indigestible sugar thus serves as prebiotic food for the beneficial bacteria. What makes our yacon syrup special? Our yacon syrup comes from traditional varieties from the Peruvian Andes and is 100% natural, grown without pesticides or agrochemicals. It is produced at low temperatures, which guarantees that the syrup retains a very high quality of nutrients and enzymes. This yacon syrup is thickened from yacon juice in a special low-pressure process at low temperatures of 45°C. As yacon syrup can only be kept for a relatively short time without pasteurisation and additives, it is pasteurised at 70°C for 3 minutes. Our yacon syrup is therefore not raw, but is processed very gently, which means that the valuable nutrients and enzymes of the root are largely preserved. How to use yacon syrup? Yacon syrup is a versatile sweetener. It can be used to sweeten desserts, drinks and smoothies. For salad dressings, we like to mix the syrup with vinegar as a substitute for balsamic vinegar, which usually contains a lot of sugar. The sweetening power of the syrup is less than that of sugar, honey or agave syrup. To support a healthy intestinal flora, 1 teaspoon a day is sufficient. For a longer shelf life, we recommend storing the yacon syrup in the fridge.

Dried organic sea buckthorn berries - unsweetened & wild harvested Why buy sea buckthorn berries? An analysis carried out by the retailer provided proof of the sensational amounts of vital substances in sea buckthorn. The berries have a very high omega 7 fatty acid and B12 content. This high content is probably only found in Uzbek wild-collected organic sea buckthorn. Cultivated sea buckthorn generally has much lower levels and vitamin B12 in plant foods is very rare! Dried sea buckthorn contains most of the same vital substances and nutrients as fresh sea buckthorn, only in a more concentrated form because the water has been removed. These wild sea buckthorn berries have an intense, spicy and very tart flavour. They have a strong, intense light to dark orange colour. The flesh surrounds a stone, which is also dried. This results in a crispy consistency. What makes our wild organic sea buckthorn berries special? When fully ripe, the wild sea buckthorn berries are picked by hand, washed and gently dried in the sun. The drying process used is a very environmentally friendly solar drying method that is extremely gentle on the product. The organic sea buckthorn berries are - unsulphurised (in accordance with the EU Organic Regulation)- without artificial additives- without preservatives- without colourings Where do our organic sea buckthorn berries come from? Organic sea buckthorn berries from wild collection are very difficult to obtain. We were able to buy a batch from Ukraine. These wild sea buckthorn berries come from the Lviv region in western Ukraine, close to the Polish border. They are packed in 125g bags. How to integrate them into your daily diet? The dried organic sea buckthorn berries are suitable as a small, refreshing snack or as a varied ingredient in your power muesli. To round off the tart flavour, you can combine the sea buckthorn with nuts and sweet dried fruits such as sultanas. Or you can use a healthy sweetener such as agave, yacon or apple syrup.

Gentle thickening at below 43° C preserves many enzymes and nutrients (in contrast to many other sweeteners that are pasteurised). Use of organic apple syrup With its fruity apple flavour, it is ideal for sweetening smoothies, raw food desserts and cakes. In combination with tart or malty dry powders such as cocoa and maca, we recommend using caramelised agave syrup (raw food) or yacon syrup (not raw food) for reasons of flavour.

Top quality linseed oil from Swiss organic linseed | Fresh, cold-pressed and unfiltered Update: The next linseed oil pressing will take place on Monday 24 February 2025. Please place your pre-order by Sunday evening 23.02.2025. Shipping will take place on Wednesday 26.02.2025 with Post Pack Priority, so delivery should take place on Thursday. You can find all the other order details below. What makes our linseed oil special? Very tasty: Freshly pressed linseed oil does not taste bitter at all (in the first few weeks), but has a mild nutty flavour Organic: The brown organic linseed from producer Jakob Bachofner comes from his own fields in Fehraltorf Pressed chilled: Due to the water cooling of the mill, the oil temperature remains at 28-32°C throughout the pressing process Regional: Fehraltorf is only 10 kilometres away from our warehouse in Wetzikon. Shipping to your home is CO2-neutral with Swiss Post Miron glass: The linseed oil is filled in high-quality bottles made of Miron glass because it offers the best protection of quality. A report by the ProSieben science magazine Galileo has also shown that many products have a longer shelf life and smell better than conventional glass. Watch the interesting report in the following video: Galileo - Video - Violet glass - ProSieben Jakob Bachofner from Oelerei presses the linseed oil from organic linseed from his own fields in Fehraltorf very fresh and with a water-cooled press in raw food quality at 28-32°C - feel the difference. It is not filtered, but left to cool for 1 day so that the lees can settle. The linseed oil is then bottled, taken to the warehouse and dispatched on the same day. There may be a small amount of sediment (slightly darker in colour) at the bottom of the bottles. This can be consumed without hesitation. Why is linseed oil so healthy? With approx. 50% alpha-linolenic acid/omega 3, linseed oil is one of the most potent suppliers of this important fatty acid. Just 1 tablespoon of linseed oil covers the daily requirement of 2g alpha-linolenic acid for an adult. Omega-3 fatty acids are of great importance for our metabolism. They are important building blocks of our cell membranes, have an anti-inflammatory effect, protect the cells against premature ageing and strengthen our immune defences. You can find more interesting information about omega-3 fatty acids in our health guide. Food & for skin care: How to use linseed oil? Fresh linseed oil is a real delicacy! Linseed oil goes perfectly with cold and warm dishes such as salads, potatoes and muesli. It can also be enjoyed pure (1 tablespoon a day). Linseed oil is also suitable for external use on very dry skin. Recipes with linseed oil for inspiration We have been enthusiastic linseed oil consumers ourselves for many years, which is why we are happy to list our favourite recipes here for your inspiration: Raw almond milk with a fresh apple and linseed oil Budwig cream muesli (based on low-fat quark and linseed oil) Goldenmilk with linseed oil Chia pudding with linseed oil Apple and cinnamon porridge with linseed oil Wholemeal bread with cottage cheese, linseed oil and sprouts Vegan mayonnaise with almond butter and linseed oil Gschwellti (jacket potatoes) with linseed oil Potato salad with linseed oil Tomato and onion salad with basil and linseed oil Experiment: Drizzle linseed oil and a little salt over half an avocado. What is your favourite linseed oil recipe? Let us know and we'll be happy to add it to the list. Freshly pressed linseed oil only for pre-orders Due to its sensitivity to heat and short shelf life, we do not keep linseed oil in stock, but only accept pre-orders from September to June, which are then dispatched once a month. During the warmer months, the oil is dispatched with cooling pads. Order process for freshly pressed linseed oil from Swiss linseed To pre-order linseed oil, simply buy it online, send us an email to info@samaranatura.ch or give us a call on 044 586 27 27. On Monday morning, we place our order with Jakob Bachofner from the Oelerei. He presses the linseed oil on Monday. The freshly pressed organic linseed oil then has to rest for a day in the cold store for sedimentation (reduction of the lees). On Wednesday morning, it is bottled and I immediately take the bottles to my social logistician in Wetzikon. He will dispatch all orders (linseed oil with any other items ordered) on Wednesday with Post Pack Priority (without CHF 2 surcharge), so that you should receive your order on Thursday of the same week. Order deadlines autumn/winter/spring 2024/2025 Sunday 23.02.2025Sunday 09.03.2025Sunday 13.04.2025Sunday 18.05.2025Sunday 15.06.2025 Shelf life Minimum shelf life after pressing is 3 months. Please always store the linseed oil in the refrigerator, even before opening the bottle for the first time. This slows down the very rapid oxidation of linseed oil. Our linseed oil is specially bottled in dark purple miron glass to protect it from sunlight and the associated premature oxidation. There are 2 ways to further extend the shelf life: Very modern refrigerators sometimes have a 0-degree zone. Stored there, the linseed oil will keep for about a month longer or you can also freeze it, which extends the shelf life to 6 months. Once opened, the bottle should be consumed within 3-4 weeks. Important notes Linseed oil and camelina oil are not the same thing. While linseed oil is pressed from linseed, camelina oil comes from camelina. Camelina oil has a longer shelf life, but at approx. 35% has a lower alpha-linolenic acid/omega 3 content. Cold-pressed oils (except coconut oil) are sensitive to heat and are therefore mainly suitable for cold cooking. Toxic compounds can form when heated to high temperatures, e.g. frying. Change of bottles Due to the massive price increase of the Mironglas (approx. 40%) and the new closure system with plastic ball, Jakob Bachofner has been looking for alternatives. For the standard edible oil glass bottles, it would have been necessary to purchase a capping machine, which would not have been proportionate for the small quantities produced by the Oelerei in Fehraltorf. Now a BPA-free tinplate bottle in a black matt design from Germany has become the best alternative, see picture above left. The advantages over glass are the lower weight and lower energy consumption in production. In addition, the risk of breakage is significantly lower, which is why less stuffing material is required for shipping. Tinplate has a high recycling rate as it is collected together with aluminium at all material collection points. All other packaging options would have resulted in price increases. We are pleased that we are able to offer linseed oil at the existing prices at a time when almost everything is becoming more expensive. The new 500ml bottles will be introduced in December. With the December pressing, we will also be offering 250ml bottles for CHF 20. This size was requested several times and should be a good compromise between 100ml and 500ml. There are currently still enough of the 100ml Mironglas bottles in stock, which is why the changeover will not take place until spring 2024.

Origin Switzerland, chilled pressed by Jakob Bachofner in Fehraltorf with linseed from his own fields in Fehraltorf ZH. Further use of the Miron bottles In principle, the bottles made from the valuable Miron glass can be rinsed out and reused as desired. We recommend leaving the labels on, as they do not come off easily even after a wash in the dishwasher or with petrol. The labels are not water-soluble because the bottles are stored in the refrigerator. Condensation forms when they are removed, which would then remove the label. In addition, a paper label would quickly look dirty if a drop of oil ran down it. According to feedback from the producer, the best way to remove the labels is with orange oil. Local producer Jakob Bachofner from Oelerei in Fehraltorf has been pressing our linseed oil once a month since summer 2021. In addition to the excellent quality, we appreciate the short distance of just 10 kilometres between the oil production facility and our warehouse in Wetzikon. This enables us to send you the linseed oil on the day of bottling (Wednesdays). It couldn't be quicker, unless you select "Pick up at warehouse" as the dispatch method and collect the linseed oil from the warehouse in person on Wednesday afternoons from 3.30 pm. Jakob "Köbi" Bachofner produces all oils with a water-cooled oil mill, certified organic according to the Swiss Organic Farming Ordinance CH-BIO-086. Here are a few pictures of the cultivation and harvesting of linseed from Fehraltorf.

Swiss organic dried aronia berries The largest and most beautiful aronia berries (also known as chokeberries) are used for drying. Smaller berries are used for juice production. Only fully ripened, healthy and cleanly washed organic aronia berries are processed. Our chokeberries are 100% natural, carefully processed and dried at temperatures below 42°C, without preservatives, colourings, sweeteners or other additives. The producer is very experienced and checks the aronia berries regularly. The aronia berries have a dark purple, almost black colour. They are fruity-sour, aromatic and delicious. Grown, dried and packaged in Switzerland100% natural quality - organic, raw, unoiled, unsweetened and unsulphurised Rich and complex natural flavour Low in calories, rich in fibre, vitamin C and manganese Unique mouth-drying effect A great addition to a health-conscious diet Aronia berries (also known as black chokeberries) are small dark fruits that grow on shrubs of the multi-stemmed Rosaceae family. They are originally native to North America, but are now also cultivated in Europe. In recent years, chokeberries have become popular as a superfood, thanks to a number of positive effects on health. Its second name "chokeberries" is derived from its strong mouth-drying effect, which can surprise you if you are not familiar with it. We source our berries from a Swiss chokeberry pioneer who guarantees the best quality. Our raw, gently dried and unsulphurised aronia berries are also great in terms of nutritional value: they are a fantastic source of fibre, vitamin C and manganese. As a retailer, we are not allowed to make any claims or health promises, but there are many exciting articles on the Internet about aronia berries and their effects. Uses Aronia berries can be used as a snack between meals or as an ingredient in muesli. Warnings May contain traces of perennials. May have a laxative effect if consumed in excess due to the tannins and bitter substances it contains.
