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.
The "green" base of chlorella, spirulina, phycocyanin, wheat and barley grass, matcha and moringa.
The freshwater microalgae Chlorella vulgaris is one of the oldest life forms on earth. Extraordinary for Chlorella is its high resistance and enormously fast reproduction rate as well as its high nutrient content. Our organic chlorella comes from Portugal. There, the algae is cultivated autotrophically and sustainably under natural light conditions in glass photobioreactors. Chlorella vulgaris grows in closed systems, using only sunlight, CO2 and clear fresh water. Due to the standardised and controlled process, a guaranteed pollutant-free product of premium quality can be produced all year round. After being harvested by microfiltration, the chlorella is gently spray-dried to preserve all the plant substances, resulting in a fine, dark green powder. Our partner farmer is one of the leading European producers of sustainable, innovative microalgae products. The company pays special attention to ecological, social and industrial sustainability and maintains optimised processes with regard to energy efficiency, resource conservation, and the satisfaction and safety of its employees.
Spirulina platensis also has a particularly high nutrient density. Exceptional is the high content of phycocyanin (19%), which is responsible for the blue coloring of the algae. The organic algae powder is produced under strictly controlled conditions without the use of pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers in a remote area of southern India - far away from human habitation and agricultural and industrial land, thus avoiding contamination by neighbors. The high average temperature of 30-39°C prevailing in South India in combination with low humidity, low rainfall and maximum sunny days provide optimal conditions for the cultivation of the purest and most active Chlorella algae.
Both our wheat grass and barley grass come from controlled organic cultivation in Europe. The young shoots sprout in spring and early autumn and are cut dewy in the early morning hours exactly at the peak of their nutritional potential at a growth height of about 50cm and immediately juiced and dried at the lowest temperatures below 2°C to preserve the full range of enzymes, vitamins, chlorophyll and other precious ingredients as faithfully as possible.
Matcha is one of the finest Japanese green teas and is produced by the finest grinding of shaded tea leaves. Through this processing, the complete tea leaf is consumed when drinking Matcha and thus all nutrients are absorbed. The production of high-quality Matcha is extremely complex and culminates in the slow and gentle grinding of the tea leaves on special granite stone mills, which produce only a few grams per hour. Good matcha has an intense, sweet flavor, abundant umami, and shows minimal to no astringency even when prepared in a very concentrated form (Koicha). The premium quality matcha powder used comes from the top region of Uji.
Moringa has been a component of many indigenous and traditional herbal teachings around the world for hundreds of years. Today, the use of Moringa is widespread throughout the Middle East, Asia and Africa. In this context, Moringa is on the one hand valued for its unique profile of phytochemicals and its richness in amino acids, vitamins as a high quality daily food, and on the other hand it is also a frequent ingredient in herbal remedies. Our premium Moringa powder in organic raw food quality comes from hand harvesting in traditional organic cultivation in the pure nature of Kenya.
Rounded off with rosehip, acerola, banana, wild blueberry and natural sweetness of Lucuma.
The fruits of the dog rose (Rosa Canina) are called rose hips. Grown in the south of Chile at an altitude of 800m, the rose produces the most natural hips of all varieties in the world. It thrives under special climatic conditions between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes in Patagonia on volcanic soil. For the rosehip powder, the whole fruits with skin and seeds are harvested and then finely ground. In this way, the natural ratio of the active ingredients (vitamins, flavonoids, galactolipids) of the individual fruit components can be preserved.
The acerola bush is native to Central and South America. Its fruits resemble European cherries in appearance, but are not related to them. The acerola cherry is known for its exceptionally high content of vitamin C and is also rich in phytochemicals and numerous other vitamins and minerals. Our organic acerola powder comes from Brazil, where the cherries are gently freeze-dried immediately after harvesting, so that the full nutrient content and the mild-fruity-acidic aroma are preserved.
Bananas (Musa cavendish) grow in clusters on the banana plant (also known as banana palm), an evergreen whose fruits are technically berries. The high content of complex and simple carbohydrates found in bananas makes them an excellent source of energy. Moreover, due to their high potassium content, they are often recommended in cases of potassium deficiency. Ripe bananas contain less complex carbohydrates (dietary fibre) than unripe, green bananas. This means they are sweeter and easier to digest, making them beneficial for bowel regulation and in cases of intestinal issues. Our premium, raw, organic banana powder is derived from sun-ripened fruit grown in the Brazilian Amazon. The fruits are harvested by hand when fully ripe and gently freeze-dried to preserve their nutrients and sweet flavour.
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. The small fruits contain high concentrations of valuable anthocyanins, tannins and flavonoids as well as pectins, minerals and vitamins. From the fully ripe harvested fruits of the Wild Blueberry, which grow in the pristine forests of the Baltic States, the particularly full-bodied fruity powder with an intense purple color is produced by freeze-drying and gentle grinding of the whole berries.
Lúcuma (Pouteria lucuma) 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.
