Swiss Sea Buckthorne Syrup

Sea buckthorn - the berries richest in vitamin C in Europe 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.

Baobab – the African super fruit Why Baobab Powder? Baobab has a slightly citrusy, fruity, refreshing taste and is rich in vitamin C and the minerals calcium, potassium, iron and magnesium. Due to its favorable calcium-phosphorus ratio in combination with vitamin C, the bioavailability of calcium and iron is particularly good. Baobab is great for vegans because it's high in calcium - twice as much as milk. Effect of baobab powder? The baobab fruit has approx. 50% dietary fiber - half the particularly valuable soluble dietary fiber - and thus supports the intestinal functions and a favorable, regular digestion. Baobab also contains numerous phytonutrients that, as powerful antioxidants, help to protect cells and vessels from free radicals. What makes our baobab powder special? Our baobab powder is 100% pure, raw and chemical free. The pod contains the seeds and the naturally dried pulp. The natural fruit powder is separated from the seeds and fibers in a mechanical process. Origin of our babobab powder This superfruit is native to Africa. By spreading to the western world, distribution helps African communities reduce poverty while preserving nature. So baobab is good for us, good for Africans and good for the environment. The African baobab tree (Adansonia digitata) or baobab tree (from Arabic bu-hubub) is a characteristic part of the African savannah. It's also jokingly called the "inverted tree" because it looks like its roots reach up into the sky in a ghostly silhouette. Africans have valued this tree and its fruit for a long time and have given it various names such as tree of life and magic tree. Its thick trunk can store up to 300 liters of water, enabling 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 use in everyday life We like the taste and use it pure with water and a little sweetener - a real treat. It can be used wonderfully as an ingredient in all cocoa and dessert creations and gives them a delicious, slightly sweet and sour note. Due to its high pectin content (approx. 25%), baobab powder is particularly suitable for recipes where binding or thickening properties are required. In addition, baobab is a natural flavor enhancer and gives every dish, whether sweet or savory, a special touch. 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, just 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 favorite smoothie.

Camu camu powder with 15% vitamin C content 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! Camu camu contains 2-3g of vitamin C per 100g of fresh fruit and around 10-12g per 100g of dried powder. That doesn't 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 for maximum benefit. Why Consume Camu Camu Powder? We have found camu camu to energize and uplift and improve mood. It helps us stay active and in a good mood throughout the day. A pretty amazing effect for such a small berry. We all know about the great health value of vitamin C, and since there is camu camu, we can dispense with artificial, synthetic forms entirely. 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 (scientific name: Myrciaria dubia) grows wild in the Peruvian Amazon. The berries are harvested directly into boats equipped with freezing systems. The boats travel the waterways of the Amazon where the fruit is picked at full maturity and flash frozen. At a processing plant, the fruit is then thawed, peeled, liquefied and spray dried. The resulting powder is pale pink to yellow-brown and has powerful ingredients. We receive our camu camu in the form of a pure, unadulterated powder with an orange-light brown colour. It takes about 15kg of berries to make 1kg of powder, which contains 10-12% vitamin C by weight. Therefore, it takes very little to stock up on an effective dose of antioxidants. Camu camu powder: Often different vitamin C content We would like to point out that the vitamin C content of camu camu powder varies greatly. For example, there is also camu camu with only 5-6% vitamin C. When comparing, pay attention to the vitamin C content, because the lower the product, the cheaper it should be. Influence on sustainable development of the Amazon basin We also like that the growing popularity of Camu Camu is contributing to the sustainable development of the Amazon Basin and helping locals 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 smoothie in the morning or an afternoon pick-me-up drink. Camu camu has a fairly acidic taste, although it does not have an acidifying effect on the body and is easier on the stomach than synthetic ascorbic acid. It therefore tastes best when mixed with other ingredients. Add about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon (2-3 g) to juices, smoothies, ice cream, raw desserts, or simply to your drinking water. It's a great way to balance out the sweetness in 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 some sweetener (e.g. agave or yacon syrup) and shake briefly. You can increase the daily amount if necessary (spread the intake over the day), but diarrhea symptoms indicate that you are taking too much 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.

Yacon Syrup Organic - Delicious, prebiotic sweetener Yacon is grown in the high mountain valleys of the Andes and has a dense root system that is full of minerals, vitamins and complex vital substances. The freshly squeezed juice of the root is a gift from nature and has been enjoyed by the Andean peoples for centuries. The special thing about Yacon is the quality of its sugar, which is mainly in the form of oligofructose (or fructooligosaccharides). Oligofructose cannot be used by the digestive enzymes and therefore hardly causes any calories and protects the blood sugar level. In addition, as a prebiotic, oligofructose supports a healthy intestinal flora. An ideal sweetener for diabetics, health-conscious and diet-conscious people alike. Why we love Yacon Syrup Yacon tastes delicious and has half as many calories as honey, for example. And on top of that, its sugar hardly increases the blood sugar level and avoids strenuous blood sugar highs and lows. Yacon syrup is also significantly less glycemic than honey, agave or maple syrup. The oligofructose in Yacon also supports the beneficial bacteria in the colon, thereby improving digestion and absorption of nutrients. The indigestible sugar thus serves the beneficial bacteria as prebiotic food. SamaraNatura Yacon Syrup Our yacon syrup comes from traditional varieties from the Peruvian Andes and is 100% natural, grown without pesticides and 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 vacuum process at low temperatures of 45°C. Since this yacon syrup can only be kept for a relatively short time without pasteurization, it is pasteurized at 70°C for 3 minutes. The syrup is therefore not raw food, but processed very gently, which means that the valuable nutrients and enzymes in the roots are largely retained. How to use Yacon syrup can be used in many ways as a 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 sweetness of the syrup is less strong than the sweetness of sugar, honey or agave syrup. To support a healthy intestinal flora, 1 teaspoon is sufficient daily. For a better shelf life, we recommend storing the yacon syrup in the refrigerator.

Organic dried sea buckthorn berries - unsweetened & from wild collection Why buy sea buckthorn berries? An analysis carried out by the retailer provided evidence 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 contained in the Uzbek wild-collected organic sea buckthorn. Cultivated sea buckthorn usually has much lower levels and vitamin B12 in plant foods is very rare! Dried sea buckthorn contains mostly 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 sour taste. They have a strong, intense light - to dark orange color. The pulp surrounds a core, 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 with the help of 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:• unsulphured (according to EU organic regulation)• without artificial additives• without preservatives• without dyes Where do our organic sea buckthorn berries come from? Wild harvested organic sea buckthorn berries are very hard to come by. We could buy a batch with origin Ukraine. These wild sea buckthorn berries come from the Lemberg/Lviv region in western Ukraine, near the Polish border. They are packed in 125g bags. How to integrate into the 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 sour taste, you can combine the sea buckthorn with nuts and sweet dried fruits such as raisins. Or you can use a healthy sweetener like agave, yacon or apple syrup.

Flaxseed oil from Swiss organic flaxseed: freshly and cold-pressed and unfiltered Update: The next linseed oil pressing will take place on Monday, November 18, 2024. Please place your pre-order by Sunday evening, November 17, 2024. Shipping will take place on Wednesday, November 20, 2024 with Post Pack Priority, so delivery should take place on Thursday. You can find all other order details below. Below you will find all other order data. Flaxseed oil is one of our favorite products because: Very tasty: Freshly pressed flaxseed oil does not taste bitter at all (in the first weeks), but rather has a slight nutty taste. Organic: Producer Jakob Bachofner's brown organic flax seeds come from their own fields in Fehraltorf. Cold pressed: Due to mill water cooling, the oil temperature remains at 28-32°C throughout the pressing. Regional: Fehraltorf is only 10 km from our warehouse in Wetzikon. Home delivery is CO2 neutral with Swiss Post. Why is flaxseed oil so healthy? With approximately 50% alpha-linolenic acid/omega 3, flaxseed oil is one of the most potent suppliers of this important fatty acid. Just 1 tablespoon of flaxseed oil covers the daily requirement of 2 g of 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, they have an anti-inflammatory effect, protect cells against premature aging and strengthen the immune system. You can find more interesting information about omega-3 fatty acids in our health guide. Use Fresh flaxseed oil is a real delight! Jakob Bachofner of the Oelerei presses flaxseed oil from organic flax seeds from his own fields in Fehraltorf freshly and with a press cooled with raw food grade water at 28-32°C - feel the difference. It is not filtered, but left in the refrigerator for 1 day so that the cloudy matter can settle. The flaxseed oil is then bottled, transported to the warehouse and shipped the same day. It is possible that very little cloudy material (it is a little darker) settles at the bottom of the bottle. It can be consumed without hesitation. Linseed oil goes perfectly with cold and lukewarm dishes such as salad, potatoes and muesli. It can also be enjoyed pure (1 tablespoon daily). Linseed oil is also suitable for external use on very dry skin. Linseed oil favorite recipes We ourselves have been enthusiastic flaxseed oil consumers for many years, which is why we are happy to list our favorite recipes for inspiration: Raw almond milk with a fresh apple and linseed oil Budwig-Crème-Müesli (based on low-fat quark and linseed oil) Golden milk 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 Potato salad with linseed oil Tomato and onion salad with basil and linseed oil Experiment: Drizzle the linseed oil and some salt over half an avocado. What is your favorite linseed oil recipe? Let us know and we'll be happy to add it to the list. Ordering process for freshly pressed flaxseed oil from Swiss flaxseed To pre-order, buy the flaxseed oil as usual online, send us an email to info@samaranatura.ch or give us a quick call on 044 586 27 27. On Monday morning we place our order with Jakob Bachofner from the Oelerei. He presses the flaxseed oil on Monday. Then the freshly pressed organic flaxseed oil has to rest for a day in cold storage for sedimentation (lowering of turbid matter). The bottles are filled on Wednesday morning and I immediately bring the bottles to our social logistician in Wetzikon. He sends all orders (flaxseed oil with any other items ordered) on Wednesday with Post Pack Priority (without a SFR 2 surcharge), so you should receive your order on Thursday of the same week. Freshly pressed flaxseed oil only for pre-orders Due to the sensitivity to heat and the short shelf life, we do not keep flaxseed oil in stock, but only accept pre-orders from September to June, which are then carried out once a month. In the warm months, shipping is done with cooling pads. Size variants and prices The organic flaxseed oil can be ordered in 3 different sizes: 100ml for SFR 10.- resp. from 3 pieces SFR 9.50250ml for SFR 20.- resp. from 3 pieces SFR 19.- 500ml for SFR 33.- resp. from 3 pieces SFR 31.35 Order deadlines autumn/winter/spring 2024/2025 Sunday 17.11.2024 Sunday 15.12.2024 Sunday 05.01.2025 Sunday 16.02.2025 Sunday 09.03.2025 Sunday 06.04.2025 Sunday 11.05.2025 Sunday 15.06.2025 Durability Shelf life after pressing is 3 months. Please always keep the flaxseed oil in the refrigerator, even before opening the bottle for the first time. This slows down the oxidation that occurs very quickly in flaxseed oil. Our flaxseed oil is specially packaged in dark violet Miron glass to protect it from sunlight and the associated premature oxidation. There are 2 options for extending the shelf life: Very modern refrigerators sometimes have a 0-degree zone. Stored there, the flaxseed oil can be kept for about a month longer, or you can freeze it, which extends the shelf life to 6 months. Once opened, the bottle should be consumed within 3-4 weeks. Important instructions Flaxseed oil and camelina oil are not the same. While flaxseed oil is pressed from flaxseed, camelina oil comes from camelina. Camelina oil has a longer shelf life, but at around 35% it has a lower proportion of alpha-linolenic acid/omega 3. Cold-pressed oils (except coconut oil) are heat-sensitive and are therefore mainly suitable for cold dishes. Toxic compounds can form when heated to high temperatures, e.g. when roasting.

Origin Switzerland, chilled pressed by Jakob Bachofner in Fehraltorf with flaxseed from our own fields in Fehraltorf ZH. New producer with pictures After our former producer unfortunately had to go out of business, we started looking for a new solution in the summer of 2021. There were various options with high-quality producers of chilled-pressed organic oils, but in the end we found the most suitable alternative in Jakob Bachofner from the Oelerei in Fehraltorf. The main reason is the short distance of just 10 kilometers between the oil production and our warehouse in Wetzikon. This enables us to deliver the flaxseed oil to you even one day earlier/fresher - it couldn't be faster. Jakob produces high-quality oils, certified organic according to the Swiss organic regulation CH-BIO-086. Here are a few pictures of the cultivation and harvesting of the flaxseed from Fehraltorf.
