Brown Rice
Brown rice is a wholegrain rice with the inedible, hard outer husk removed. The nutrient-rich, pigmented brown skin and germ remain on the grain. Brown rice grains are rich in magnesium, phosphorus, selenium, thiamine, niacin, vitamin B6 and manganese, among other valuable compounds, and have a high content of fibre as well as plant-based fats and proteins.
Mung Beans
The mung bean (Vigna radiata) is a legume from the papilionaceous family. The beans can be green, yellow or black and have been cultivated and eaten for centuries in regions such as India and Southeast Asia. The mung bean is relatively high in protein (24%) and is valued for its high content of the amino acid lysine. Mung beans are also rich in dietary fibre, vitamins A, B1, B2, niacin, B9, C and E and the minerals potassium, phosphorus, calcium, iron and magnesium.
Peas
The pea (Pisum sativum) is also a legume belonging to the papilionaceous family. Rich in protein, peas have been cultivated all over the world for thousands of years. They are high in fats, dietary fibre, minerals and trace elements such as calcium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc, manganese and copper. The protein found in peas contains all 9 essential amino acids, plus cysteine and tyrosine.
Pumpkin Seeds
Pumpkins are from a large genus within the gourd (Cucurbitaceae) family, whose species have been cultivated around the world for centuries. Pumpkin seeds, which are flat and oval-shaped, are rich in nutrients and calories and contain an abundance of fatty acids (including linoleic and oleic acids), protein, fibre and numerous micronutrients, including the B vitamins niacin, riboflavin, folic acid and pantothenic acid, as well as the trace elements iron, zinc, manganese and the minerals magnesium, phosphorus, sodium and potassium.
Sunflower Seeds
The seeds of the sunflower (Helianthus annuus) are rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as linoleic and oleic acid. Botanically speaking, unshelled sunflower seeds are achenes, not seeds. When the hard outer shell is removed, the inner edible seed, or heart, is revealed. The seeds of several different sunflower species are consumed all over the world. They contain over 20% protein and are also high in fibre, vitamins B and E and minerals such as magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, iron and zinc.
Hemp Seeds
For centuries, the nutrient-rich, intensely nutty-tasting seeds of the hemp plant (Cannabis sativa) have been eaten all over the world. Technically, the small, roundish seeds are actually nuts. They are protein-rich and contain all 9 essential amino acids. They are also rich in vitamins B1, B2 and E, the minerals calcium, magnesium, potassium and iron, as well as omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and fibre.
Brown Linseeds
Linseeds are the fruits of the common linseed (Linum usitatissimum) plant, which is also known as flax or common flax. As one of the oldest crops, it is grown around the world and valued for both its fibre and oil. Brown linseeds contain mainly alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3 fatty acids) and have a weaker swelling capacity than golden linseeds, despite their high fibre content. In addition to plenty of vegetable protein, the small seeds provide valuable micronutrients such as iron, magnesium, calcium and vitamins B1, B2, B6, B9 and E.
Lúcuma (Pouteria lucuma)
Lúcuma is one of the most commonly grown fruits in Peru due to its pleasant flavour and mild sweetness. Once known as "the gold of the Incas", lúcuma was a staple ingredient in the Incan diet. Lúcuma is a starch-rich fruit made up of long-chain sugar molecules, known as complex carbohydrates. Metabolised more slowly than short-chain carbohydrates, these complex carbohydrates are advantageous for increasing blood sugar levels and fat burning. Our raw, organic lúcuma powder is made from whole lúcuma fruits grown in the Peruvian Andes at altitudes of 1,500-3,000m.
Cinnamon
Our 100% pure organic Ceylon cinnamon powder comes from the evergreen true cinnamon tree (Cinnamomum zeylanicum, also Cinnamomun verum). Also known as Ceylon cinnamon or true cinnamon, this variety is considered the world's finest and most aromatic cinnamon variety. Our cinnamon powder is made from the fine inner bark of the cinnamon tree. For this purpose, up to 10 fine layers of the inner bark of the obtained, which are rolled into a closed rod. The finer the individual layers are, the finer the cinnamon aroma unfolds with its naturally light sweetness. Cinnamon contains the valuable cinnamon oil responsible for the unique flavor and other numerous effective components.
Wild blueberry
The blueberry with its eponymous fruit (Vaccinium myrtillus/ Myrtilli fructus) belongs to the heather family (Ericaceae). It is native to the temperate climates of northern Europe and Asia and prefers semi-shaded locations such as deciduous and coniferous forests. Its blue color indicates the high content of secondary plant compounds it contains. Thus, the small fruits contain high concentrations of valuable anthocyanins, tannins and flavonoids, as well as pectins, minerals and vitamins. Our Organic Wild Blueberries Powder comes from 100% certified organic wild collection in the deep, pristine forests of the Baltic States. For this purpose, only the best and ripest berries are selected and picked by hand.
Blackberry
Blackberries, the fruits of the eponymous shrub belong to the genus Rubus and family Rosaceae and are found mainly in the northern hemisphere, both wild and cultivated. The ripe fruits of the shrub have a dark blue-black color and are particularly popular for various desserts, pastries, juice or jams due to their juicy-sweet taste. The tasty juicy berries contain valuable secondary plant compounds and various vitamins and minerals.
Raspberry
The raspberry is the fruit of the raspberry bush (Rubus idaeus), which is widespread mainly in Europe and Siberia. It belongs to the genus Rubus and the plant family of the rose family. They were already cultivated in monasteries in the Middle Ages and were highly valued for their juicy-sweet taste. Raspberry fruits contain secondary plant compounds such as flavonoids as well as vitamins and minerals.
Sea buckthorn
Sea buckthorn berries are the small reddish-orange fruits of the sea buckthorn bush (Hippophae rhamnoides). Originally from Nepal, the plant is now widespread in East and West Asia, as well as Central Europe and Scandinavia. Its small fruits are true vitamin bombs. They are known for their high content of vitamin C and are therefore often popularly referred to as the "lemons of the north".
Acai
The açaí berry is the intensely dark purple fruit of the graceful açaí palm (Euterpe oleracea), which belongs to the cabbage palm family.

The acerola grows mainly along roadsides, riverbanks, but also on dry, rocky mountain slopes at altitudes of up to 1600m. Our organic acerola comes from Brazil, where it is gently freeze-dried immediately after harvest. The acerola cherry is known for its exceptionally high natural vitamin C content of about 1700mg/100g in the fresh fruit and is also rich in secondary plant compounds (flavonoids, anthocyanins), vitamin (B1, B2, B3, B5, beta-carotene) and minerals (calcium, magnesium, potassium phosphorus).
Chokeberry
The chokeberry, also called black chokeberry, is the fruit of the chokeberry plant from the rose family, originally from North America, with the botanical name Aroniae melanocarpae. Its high content of valuable secondary plant substances, including proanthocyanidins and anthocyanins, can be recognized by its dark color.
