Non-Pasteurized, Raw, Organic Almonds

Perfectly delicious, loaded with nutrition and significant in size, these almonds are among our best selling products. Our raw organic almonds are just that--truly raw and non-pasteurized --and certified organic. Great raw nuts like these can be difficult to get in the United States, as California almonds marketed as "raw" are often steam-pasteurized, but our non-pasteurized almonds are imported from Spain.

The robust flavor of our organic almonds makes them a superior snack all by themselves, and they're incredible in homemade trail mix or sprinkled over desserts. You can even blend them in a food processor or coffee grinder to make your own fresh, raw almond flour.

Organic Raw Almond Nutrition

Almonds are considered to have a higher nutritional density than other nuts--that is, they offer the greatest amount of nutrients per calorie. With every organic raw almond serving, you're getting a hearty dose of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that includes:

• Dietary fiber
• Vitamin E
• Magnesium
• Calcium
• Monounsaturated fat, good for cholesterol
• Easy-to-digest protein

With all these essential assets, our bulk almonds are great for your heart, immune system, bones, teeth, digestive system and much more. A simple handful a day can be a major part of a whole-health approach.

Amazingly Filling Organic Raw Nuts

Almonds' monounsaturated fat can not only lower LDL or "bad" cholesterol, it can keep you full-- really full--for a really long time. For this reason, almonds are promoted more frequently than other organic raw nuts as a powerful weight loss food. When it comes to a great tasting, nutrient-rich snack that makes it easier to avoid overeating, organic almonds have few rivals.

Raw Organic Maca Powder

Maca (lepidium meyenii) is an adaptogenic root known for its dynamic natural effects--users tend to experience a big boost in energy, relief from stress and even an increase in libido. While it is sometimes prepared and eaten as a root vegetable in the few areas where it is available fresh, its nutritional and medicinal assets are concentrated in our raw organic maca powder.

By sprinkling a few teaspoons of this powder over food or stirring it into juice, smoothies or yogurt, you can prepare a concoction with a powerful dose of calcium, iron, magnesium, selenium and seven essential amino acids. And beyond its noticeable effects on energy and endurance, a daily maca supplement regimen can promote better endocrine system health and may relieve ulcers, mild depression and menopause symptoms.

Origins of Organic Maca Powder

Maca is a finicky root that only grows well in the cold, arid climates of high mountain plateaus, and in soil that is inhospitable to most other crops. It is native to the Peruvian Andes, where it is still cultivated and carried to the villages below to be dried and ground into organic maca powder.

The root has a rich history in Peruvian culture and is believed to have been traditionally consumed by ancient Incan warriors just prior to battle, giving them superior endurance and strength. Its use as an aphrodisiac and fertility aid is also a time-honored Peruvian tradition. Maca benefits have historically been so sought-after and well-known in the area that the root was accepted by the Spanish as a form of currency during the colonization of the Inca Empire.

Powdered Maca in Your Diet

Our powder has a mild, pleasant flavor that makes it an easy additive to everyday drinks and food. It's a great complement to oatmeal and other hot morning cereals, and powdered maca is even sweet enough to blend into milkshakes or stir into hot chocolate. Sprinkle a few teaspoons into cookie or bread dough to create baked goods with a punch, or combine it with our Organic Raw Cacao Powder for an extra-energizing maca supplement.

Protein-Packed Spirulina Powder

Spirulina is a vivid blue-green algae that commonly grows in freshwater lakes and ponds. It is considered a complete protein, as it contains an ideal balance of all essential amino acids, and spirulina powder is immensely more digestible than other rich protein sources like red meat and even soy.

Its whopping protein content isn't the only asset that gives spirulina superfood status--our powder is loaded with vitamins A through E, iron, potassium and calcium. All it takes is one to two teaspoons per day, mixed into virtually any food or liquid, to add a major boost of protein, vitamins and minerals to your diet.

Spirulina Algae Through the Ages

Use of this nutritious microorganism has been traced back thousands of years to the ancient people of the Aztec civilization and the earliest tribes to settle near Central Africa's Lake Chad. Cakes of dried spirulina algae called "dihe" are still sold in Chad's markets today, but many less-traditional applications are in the works.

Named the "Best Food for the Future" at the 1974 United Nations World Food Conference, spirulina soon caught on as a possible solution to severe malnutrition in third-world nations. The Intergovernmental Institution for the use of Micro-algae Spirulina Against Malnutrition (IIMSAM) was later founded to promote spirulina benefits like its high tolerability among malnourished people, low incidence of side effects and eco-friendly cultivation practices.

A true future food, it may soon be cultivated in zero gravity by NASA and the European Space Agency, both of which have envisioned spirulina's prospective role in long-term space missions.

Spirulina Benefits You Can Feel

Spirulina's outstanding nutritional value is undisputed, and human research into its other properties is ongoing. But extensive lab and animal research suggests a broad range of possible spirulina health benefits:

• Lower cholesterol and blood pressure
• Anti-inflammatory effects
• Allergy relief
• Improved recovery from stroke
• Prevention and treatment of hay fever

Promising clinical research indicating that spirulina powder may boost production of antibodies has fueled hope that this amazing algae may even combat cancer and HIV.

Organic Quinoa - Gold of the Incas

Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is a light, fluffy, edible seed that feels and tastes more like a grain. Thanks to its mild, somewhat nutty and irresistible flavor, organic quinoa is an immensely popular food. But this "mother grain" is also valued for its tremendous nutritional content. Among the wholesome attributes that make quinoa grain special are:

• 12% to 18% protein, more than any grain
• All nine essential amino acids
• Gluten-free
• High in dietary fiber
• Good source of phosphorous, magnesium and iron

This power-packed nutritional combo helped give quinoa the name "Gold of the Incas" when it was cultivated thousands of years ago in the Andes; Incan warriors highly valued the crop for the energy and stamina it gave them.

Start with a Simple Quinoa Recipe

Cooking quinoa is extremely easy and fast. Just combine one part of our bulk quinoa with two parts water or broth, bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff it with a fork, and it's delicious and ready to serve as-is or with your choice of seasonings.

But this basic quinoa recipe is just the beginning. Cooked quinoa is similar in flavor, texture and consistency to both rice and couscous, but it is much more nutritious. Try substituting this superfood for rice or couscous in all sorts of recipes--stir fry, soup, casseroles and more-- to reinvent it as a high-protein meal.

Buy Quinoa for Special Diets

One of quinoa's greatest benefits is that it is so well suited to a wide range of dietary restrictions. As a rare complete protein in the plant world, it can be the cornerstone of nutrition for vegans and vegetarians who can't get protein from meat, fish, poultry or dairy. Our bulk quinoa is also naturally gluten-free, certified kosher and grown wild, free of all pesticides and chemicals.

And when you buy quinoa from NutsOnline, it arrives at your door pre-rinsed and free of the natural saponin that can give the cooked seeds a bitter taste.
