1. WILD HARVESTED, ORGANIC GRADE CEREAL
 |
| Cedar Nut Flakes with Dry Fruits Comes in 5 portion bags |
"Cedar Power" is a natural raw breakfast designed specifically to enrich healthy, raw-food and sport diets. It is similar to regular breakfast cereals; however the cedar nut flakes were not heated or processed in any way.
The flakes of the cedar nut are obtained by cold pressing the cedar nut oil from the kernel of the cedar nut using wooden press. Wild harvested, organic grade cedar nuts are gathered manually in vast Taiga cedar forests, manually sorted in order to obtain the best quality cedar nut oil and cedar nut flakes. In contrast to the whole cedar nut, cedar nut flakes are distinguished by their increased proportional content of vitamins, trace elements, and plant proteins owing to the reduction of the fat content. In the processing of pressing the cedar nut oil, 10-16% of the cedar nut oil is retained in the flakes.
2. PROTEIN OF "CEDAR POWER"
The protein in the flakes made from the kernel of the cedar nut surpasses an ideal protein in its content of histidine, methionine, cysteine, and tryptophan, and has a well balanced composition. The carbohydrate composition of the kernel of the cedar nut is represented by polysaccharides (starch, cellulose, pentosans, dextrins) and water-soluble sugars (glucose, fructose, sucrose, and raffinose). According to the results of medical research, a similar protein facilitates the dissolving of harmful cholesterol in the blood, and also prevents the formation of cancer cells.
3. "CEDAR POWER" IMPROVES BRAIN ACTIVITY
The lecithin contained in "Cedar Power" is a basic chemical substance for the formation of the intercellular space, the normal functioning of the nervous system, and the healthy activity of brain cells. Lecithin is essential for the organism as a building material for the renewal of damaged cells. Lecithin is also the basic transport substance for the delivery of nutrients to the cells. Lecithin makes up 50% of the liver, 1/3 of the myelin insulating and protective tissues that surround the cerebrum and spinal cord. Lecithin is a powerful antioxidant and prevents the formation of highly toxic free radicals in the organism.
4. VITAMINS AND MINERALS OF CEDAR NUT FLAKES
Flakes made from the kernel of the Siberian cedar nut contain a high quantity of mineral substances - up to 5%, which are represented by a specific set of macroelements and trace elements. There is a high content of phosphorus and magnesium. Only 100 g of cedar nut contains the human daily requirement of magnesium, manganese, copper, zinc, and cobalt. Of special interest is the cedar nut as a natural source of iodine. The daily requirement of iodine is 0.1-0.2 mg, and the cedar nut kernel contains on average 0.577 mg/kg of iodine.
The importance of the flakes with regard to vitamins is characterized by the presence of fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins, the most basic of which are vitamin F, the tocopherols, thiamine, and riboflavin.
