Healthy fruit sweetness with a low glycaemic index Particularly rich in beta-carotene, iron, vitamin B1 and B2 Versatile ingredient for cakes, desserts and ice creams Ever since we got to know Lucuma powder, it has been one of our favourite foods. The healthy fruit sweetness with a low glycaemic index is particularly rich in beta-carotene, iron, vitamin B1 and B2. Its biscuit-like sweetness makes it a favourite in (raw) cakes, desserts and chocolates. We like to add it to our creams and ice creams and as a gourmet ingredient to all sweets - the wonderful flavour and biscuit-like sweetness of lucuma powder enhances every dessert. In Peru, the yellowish-orange fruit is the most popular flavour in ice cream. What makes our lucuma powder special? Free from pesticides and agrochemicals Raw food quality Gentle processing Best flavour Lucuma from SamaraNatura is free from pesticides and agrochemicals. The lucuma pulp is dried in a solar drying plant at low temperatures in accordance with raw food quality standards, then gently ground and sieved. Although lucuma also grows in other tropical regions, the flavour of the fruit that grows in the Peruvian highlands is rated even better. This is where our lucuma powder comes from. The beautiful, dark yellow powder has a flavour reminiscent of maple syrup and cashews. Tips for use Lucuma powder is an extremely versatile and tasty ingredient that works well in ice creams, baby food, yoghurts, cakes, chocolate and desserts and can be used for lucuma mousse, pudding or parfait. It is ideal as a sweet flour for pies, cakes and pastries and tastes delicious in smoothies, nut milks and other drinks. The powder produces a rich, creamy consistency and transforms your raw food creations into a heavenly gourmet treat! We mostly use it in sweet dishes, but we have been told that it also tastes great in savoury dishes. Just like maca, lucuma helps to combine and emulsify fats and oils with sugar and polysaccharides. For example, lucuma is ideal as an ingredient for a dish or drink with cocoa nibs (50% fat) and yacon root syrup (polysaccharides). It combines cocoa and yacon in flavour and consistency.

Carob powder - from the pods of the carob tree Carob is a legume that grows on the carob tree, a wild, evergreen tree native to the Mediterranean, and has been used as a sweetener and nutritious natural snack for thousands of years. Carob was well known to the ancient Greeks, who spread the seeds of this plant in Greece and Italy. Why consume carob powder? People who don't know much about carob think it's a healthy version of (high-sugar, high-fat) chocolate, but it's so much more. We like to mix carob with raw cocoa for a sweet and healthy treat, because cocoa has a lot of magnesium and compared to cocoa, carob contains three times as much calcium, a third less calories and only 1% fat. Carob is naturally sweet and fewer sweeteners are needed when it is used in recipes. It has a low glycaemic index, is low in fat and exceptionally nutritious, rich in calcium, protein and fibre. What makes our carob powder special? Our organic carob powder from Spain is gently heated and ground for drying in order to preserve its flavour, colour and nutrients. Due to the drying process at well over 42° C, it is no longer raw food. Due to the different requirements, we offer carob powder in 2 different sizes: 250g and 500g. These can be selected at the top right under "Weight variants". Using carob in everyday life and for great recipes Use carob powder to sweeten dishes, in desserts, smoothies, sprinkled on your muesli, as an ingredient in raw chocolate and cakes as well as in quick and nutritious snacks.

Mesquite powder - sweetener from the desert Mesquite was a traditional staple food of the indigenous people of the arid regions of North and South America. Today, mesquite powder is being rediscovered as a nutritious and tasty food and used all over the world. Mesquite has the sweet, wild taste of the desert with a hint of caramel and is versatile. Mesquite has a protein content of approx. 14% and is rich in calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc and the amino acid lysine, which is rarely found in a grain-heavy diet. Mesquite is 25% fiber and has a low glycemic index. Mesquite flour is naturally gluten-free. Why We Love Mesquite Powder Mesquite has a sweet, malty taste that is similar to carob, but with a caramel flavor. The full-bodied taste and aroma goes well with vanilla and chocolate and it gives sweet treats a delicious maltiness. Mesquite can be mixed with nut milk, is an excellent ingredient in smoothies and is delicious sprinkled on ice cream. An exquisite malty chocolate can be made with it, and mesquite can also be used as a partial aromatic substitute for flour. It is a wonderful food to experiment with SamaraNatura organic mesquite powder Our mesquite powder is made from the whole pods of the mesquite tree, which are gently dried and then processed into a flour or powder. Since there is no guarantee that the temperature will always remain below 42°C during drying, we refrain from using the term raw food quality. How to use Mesquite is a delicious ingredient for cakes, desserts, smoothies, ice cream and homemade bread. It tastes particularly good in combination with cocoa and maca.

Premium agave syrup in raw food quality What is agave? The agave is a cactus-like plant from Mexico. Agave syrup is a delicious sweetener obtained from the sap inside the agave plant, which is at least eight years old. Traditionally, Mexicans collected the sweet sap ("aguamiel") from various agaves to make sweeteners and special drinks for celebrations. Why buy agave syrup? Agave syrup is a vegan alternative to honey and has a pleasant flavour, like a mixture of honey and maple syrup. It can be used as a versatile sweetener. Only very gently processed agave syrup like ours has a low glycaemic index and is only absorbed slowly into the bloodstream. It is therefore particularly recommended for people with sugar sensitivities. What makes our agave syrup special? Most conventional agave syrups, often also those from organic cultivation, are made from 3-6 different types of agave and have been heated and pasteurised, as the agave juice spoils quickly after it has been extracted The healthier polysaccharides (mainly in the form of inulin) are converted into simple sugars. They have thus lost a large proportion of their nutrients! Our agave syrup is obtained exclusively from the Salmiana agave, is processed very gently and at low temperatures and is therefore of the best quality available on the market. No pesticides or other agrochemicals are used in cultivation. The thick juice is produced in special vacuum containers in which the water it contains is vaporised at very low temperatures. The valuable vitamins, minerals and enzymes are thus largely preserved and made available to our bodies. Because our agave syrup is 100% natural, it has a stronger flavour and a darker colour than commercially available thick juices. How to use it in your daily diet? Agave syrup is characterised by a high, neutral sweetening power. It enhances the flavour and is easily soluble in hot and cold food and drinks. It is ideal for baked goods and, due to its low tendency to crystallise, for making jams and jellies.

Xylitol birch sugar from Finland 100% pure Update: Our SamaraNatura birch sugar is sold out. As an interim solution, we have a few bags of Tautona available. The price is the same and the quality is also very good (made in Finland from local birch and beech wood). Why buy xylitol birch sugar? Xylitol is a sugar substitute and has the same sweetening power as white sugar. For baking, sweetening drinks (tea, coffee & co) and desserts as well as for refining sauces and dressings Has no unpleasant flavour of its own Low in calories: 40% fewer calories and 75% fewer carbohydrates Low glycaemic index (approx. 11 | compared to sugar of approx. 70) Dental care effect: to prevent plaque and tooth decay Xylitol looks and tastes like sugar and can therefore be used 1:1 like normal sugar, in hot and cold drinks, cakes and desserts. What makes our xylitol birch sugar special? We have tried a number of natural sweeteners over the years and after discovering xylitol, it has become one of our favourite sweeteners. Our xylitol comes from Finland Extracted exclusively from European birch and beech wood Maximum processing temperature is 25°C = raw food quality 100% pure, white, granular product (looks like granulated sugar) Originally, xylitol only came from birch bark. However, scientists in China found a way to extract xylitol from maize glucose. The problem here is that large quantities of pesticides are often used in the cultivation of maize and the soil is damaged. How is birch sugar produced? Xylitol is produced by the hydrogenation of xylose, which converts the sugar into a primary alcohol. This sugar alcohol, however, has nothing to do with ordinary alcohol. Xylitol occurs naturally in tree bark, but also in some types of fruit and vegetables. As birch bark is traditionally used for this purpose in Finland, the name birch sugar has also become established. Size variants Xylitol birch sugar is available in two sizes. In the practical 500g bag for CHF 11 and in the 1kg economy price bag for CHF 17.50. As is usual with all SamaraNatura products, we grant a 5% discount on quantities of 3 or more bags. Consumption recommendations As birch sugar has practically no flavour of its own, it is very suitable for sweetening tea and coffee. Other sweeteners such as agave syrup or yacon syrup often have a caramel flavour, which makes them more suitable for creams and desserts. However, birch sugar is not suitable for yeast baked goods, as yeast cannot metabolise xylitol. Xylitol belongs to the class of sugar alcohols that can have a laxative effect if consumed in excess. It is best to start with a small amount of 1 tablespoon per day so that the body can adjust to the new food and then slowly increase this amount. Warning: Xylitol is toxic to dogs as it causes rapid drops in blood sugar levels and seizures. Baking with xylitol For homemade chocolate and raw cakes, we recommend grinding the crystals into a fine powder (powdered sugar) (using a blender or coffee grinder). This prevents sugar lumps from forming. Coconut blossom sugar: the alternative or supplement to xylitol Coconut blossom sugar tastes similar to brown sugar, but even better! It has a rich, sugary-sweet caramel flavour and many chefs appreciate how coconut sugar refines their culinary dishes and makes them tastier.
