"Here's where Abraham got his Mustard! The white mustard or yellow mustard (Sinapis alba) is a plant belonging to the cruciferous family (Sinapis). The plant probably originated in Mediterranean areas but is now widespread. The plant is grown as a raw material for mustard or as a green manure crop on fallow land. The Uses of Mustard Seed The whole seed is used for pickling vegetables (such as gherkins) and as a powder for the preparation of mustard (for coarse mustard also combined with mustard seed pieces). Mustard seeds contain sinalbin, the substance that gives mustard its sharp taste. But in yellow mustard seeds is less sinalbin than in black mustard, so the mustards made from yellow mustard seeds usually mild taste. Effects of Mustard Seeds The mustard seeds stimulate the blood circulation. They stimulate the blood flow in the throat and they strengthen the natural defenses. What is Erucic Acid?

"Camu Camu Camu Camu is a small Amazonian fruit that has the highest vitamin C content of any plant in the world. The name Camu Camu probably comes from the ""Camu"" sound that fish make when they pick the floating fruits from the water surface. The fruit is picked by hand from a canoe. After picking, the fruit is peeled, pressed and dried. The remaining pulverised Camu fruit is then placed in a custom-designed drying machine, which slowly draws moisture from it at a constant temperature below 45 °C. The dried Camu Camu can then be ground into a fine powder, which is carefully tested before packaging to ensure that it is free of all potentially harmful microbes. Taste and use Due to its sour taste, the Camu Camu fruit is usually not eaten loose. In South America, the pulp is traditionally blended into a naturally sweetened juice, and since the benefits of the fruit have become known, it has become popular for sprinkling on ice cream, jam and yogurt."

"Origin and history of coconut oil Extra virgin coconut oil has a fatty structure. Comparing organic coconut oil with another natural product is almost impossible. Sometimes the smell is artificially (and chemically) imitated, but nothing beats the original. Production Process, Harvest and Processing Coconut Oil The cold pressed coconut oil is extracted directly from the nut. Coconut oil has a white colour and a rather mysterious smell. Healthy properties Coconut oil and applications Coconut oil extra virgin is particularly popular and that has obvious reasons. In a short time, extra virgin coconut oil has worked its way up to become one of the most popular oils in the world. Coconut oil organic can be used in countless ways: processed in dishes, or for example as a wonderfully relaxing massage oil. The fat of coconut oil has a completely different structure and composition than the fat you find in frying snacks or in dairy products and meat. Co…"

"Organic Potato Flakes The potato (solanum tuberosum) is a plant that grows underground. The potato originally comes from South America, but nowadays it is grown in many European countries. Potatoes are cut and dried after harvesting, leaving flakes. Potato Purée Potato flakes are flat pieces of dried potato purée. The potatoes are first boiled and then mashed, after which they are flattened by large rollers in a drum. Because the potato flakes are quickly dried to the desired moisture content, the dried mashed potato flakes are then scraped off the drum and broken through a mill sieve. Because the flakes easily absorb (cold) water , these potato flakes are often used in food products. The potato starch retains its high absorption capacity because the flakes are rapidly dehydrated."

"History and Origins Cacao (Theobroma) was first harvested by the Olmecs in Mexico as early as 1000 B.C. At that time it was mainly used for fortifying drinks. Over the years, the Mayas and the Aztecs adopted this use in their cultures. Cocoa became part of ceremonial rituals and cocoa beans were a means of payment. In the 16th century, the Spanish brought cocoa to Europe. In the mid-17th century, it became a popular drink. Cocoa trees were introduced to Asia and West Africa through colonies of various European countries, as there was a rising demand for chocolate in Europe. The cocoa bean is the raw material used in the production of chocolate. These cocoa beans originate from the tropical climates of South America (Ecuador). The Theobroma cacao tree is sacred to the Mayans and Aztecs. The cacao beans from the tree are harvested by hand and the raw beans are then cleaned in natural water and selected for the best quality. This process ensures that the nutritio…"
