🌿 The Raw Power of Nature: Why We Dehydrate, Not Bake

In the quiet valleys and crisp alpine air of Findeln, at 2,000 meters above sea level, we gather herbs and seeds with care, intention, and reverence.

Among them: golden flax, hand-harvested chives, and a delicate blue blossom known for centuries as Forget-Me-Not.

From these elements, we create one of our most powerful and humble offerings: the raw flaxseed cracker.

But what makes raw food so special? And why do we never bake, but gently dehydrate at 48°C?

Let’s begin with the wisdom behind the process.

✨ Why Raw? Why 48°C?

Raw food is more than a health trend. It’s a philosophy of preserving life.

When food is heated above 48°C, its natural enzymes and sensitive phytonutrients begin to break down. But when we gently dehydrate, we retain:

  • Enzymes that support digestion and cellular repair
  • Vitamins & antioxidants that help fight inflammation
  • Energetic integrity — food in its most alive, vibrant form

This is not about dogma. It’s about respecting nature’s intelligence.

🪶 Why Flaxseed?

Flax is one of the most ancient and powerful seeds on Earth. It is:

  • 🌿 Rich in Omega-3s for brain, heart & hormone balance
  • 🌱 High in fiber to support gut health & natural detox
  • 🌀 Anti-inflammatory, calming for joints & skin
  • 🌾 Grounding and strengthening — perfect for body and mind

Our crackers are made from whole flax and freshly crushed brown flax, then combined with handpicked alpine herbs and dried wildflowers from our permaculture garden.

No flour. No baking. No shortcuts.

🍃 More than Food – a Ritual

In our retreats and ceremonies, these crackers are not just snacks. They are:

  • Symbols of simplicity
  • Tools for reconnection with the body
  • Gentle companions on fasting days
  • Carriers of prayerful nourishment

You can top them with herbal spreads, avocado, raw pesto — or simply enjoy them plain, in silence.
