UMSETZUNG UNSERER IDEE
Alle Biotiva-Produkte sind Bio-zertifiziert. Sie werden in unserer Manufaktur in Bayern abgefüllt und nach deutschen Bio-Richtlinien kontrolliert. Das Fundament von Biotiva sind 35 Jahre Bio- Erfahrung und ein weltweites, gewachsenes Netz der besten Pflanzenanbauer. Wie findest du unsere Grundidee von 100% Bio, einer besseren plant based Ernährung sowie 100% vegan?
I am often asked if it is hard to eat a plant-based diet. The people that ask this question are usually referring to the food that I ‘can’ and ‘cannot’ eat. I always tell them how diverse my diet is and how easy it is to make the change. What is more of a challenge is finding companies that I want to buy from. Although it is not always possible or realistic, in an ideal world, I would only buy from 100% organic, plant-based, vegan and local (Germany or mainland Europe) companies. They would also be 100% plastic free and carbon neutral. Quite a ask! I feel that with Biotiva I am giving my money to the good guys and not having to compromise my ethics.
I am also a big fan of the ‘better plant-based diet’ or ‘planetary health diet’ as although a plant-based diet is by default far more environmentally friendly than that of a non plant based, there are still ways to minimise your carbon foot print and be a better earthling ensuring that the increasing population is able to eat in years to come. Its about biodiversity, nutritional content, better management of our agricultural land and I feel that Biotiva is at the forefront of this movement towards more environmental eating and I am happy to support them.
THEMA DER BOX
Biotiva ist 100% natürlich, vegan, garantiert ohne künstliche Zusatzstoffe. Wie sehr haben die Inhaltsstoffe und Nährwerte deine Bedürfnisse gedeckt? Gib gerne an, was dir hier besonders wichtig ist.
It is often a struggle to find vegan products that are also organic. I was very satisfied with all the products. They were very fresh and I feel this is important for the nutritional content. The ginger & turmeric tea smelled amazing as soon as I opened the pack. The almonds were not at all soft or stale as they often can be, and the wild blueberry powder was vibrant and delicious. With all of the products, I found I needed to use far less as the quality was so good.
My husband has Multiple Sclerosis (a degenerative neurological disease), we manage his condition purely with diet and lifestyle (he does not take any prescription medication), so nutrition, and organics are incredibly important to us. I fully trust in Biotiva and the quality of their products. It is a relief to not have to double check the packaging and website, but to just know that the products that I am getting are 100% natural, vegan, organic and of the highest standard packaged here in Germany.
PRODUKTE
Wie gefällt dir die Kombination der unterschiedlichen Produkte im Set – oder magst du eher Einzelprodukte oder einen Mix? Machen die Produkte neugierig auf mehr?
I very much enjoyed the combination of products and they were things I would not normally buy, and certainly not together. I had fun trying out new flavour combinations and recipes. Intuitively I do not feel the three products worked as a pack and would definitely prefer to order the products individually. However as a ‘new products taster pack’ it is something I would order and not worry about the cohesiveness of the products. I think it could also be a great surprise box of goodies or monthly subscription selection. I will definitely be trying out some other products that I would not normally buy. Curiosity never really killed a cat and I love to explore new flavours and flavour combinations.
GESCHMACK
Wie haben dir die einzelnen Produkte geschmeckt? Hast du einen Favoriten? Hast du einen Vorschlag für ein neues Produkt bzw. eine neue Geschmacksrichtung? Wie hast du die Produkte verwendet?
I was delighted with each of the products and kept coming up with ways to use them. The beauty of the products is the flexibility of them. My favourite has to be the wild blueberry powder as I am a complete fruit bat!
I was excited to try out the products as soon as they arrived and I happened to have a sweet tooth that day so my first use was the wild blueberry powder in cookies. I was surprised and delighted with not only how well the flavour came through but also how little I needed to use. I also added vanilla to the mix and this really complimented the blueberry well. You get that wonderful blueberry tang as well as the sweetness. Just delicious.
I also used the wild blueberry powder in countless smoothie bowls and shakes, not only did it add a wonderful sharp and sweet blueberry flavour but with only a small amount the intensity of colour was also beautiful – the first bite is with the eye! I was very happy that the wild blueberry powder is the whole fruit which added a nice texture as well as being far better nutritionally that just the fruit flesh.
I love to ferment. I will ferment anything and everything. It is amazing how different flavour profiles come out when you ferment. I started a ginger & turmeric ferment, a blueberry ‘pop’ and used the ginger & turmeric tea and the wild blueberry powder as flavourings for my kombucha the day the pack arrived. Within a few days I had a selection of delicious drinks to keep me cool for the heat wave. I very much enjoyed the ginger & turmeric tea as a hot tea but I felt it really shined as a cold tea drink and as a ferment.
The turmeric’s fruitiness comes through in a big way, combined with the spicy kick of the ginger it is just perfect. I didn’t get much of the blueberry pop as my husband got there before me and drank almost the whole bottle. Needless to say it’s a new favourite.
I usually find that the guidance amount for teas is not nearly enough for my tastes, but with the ginger & turmeric tea the recommended amount was just right as it really does pack a punch. I suffer from migraines and often use ginger tea as a preventative/treatment when I feel a migraine building. I switched from my usual ginger tea and will not be switching back. Worked a treat both settling my stomach and easing my migraine.
I also made a large batch of ginger & turmeric tea and combined it with a homemade spicy stock. I used this as a base for a daal (I cooked the lentils in it), as well as using it in homemade naan bread and chickpea curry. Both flavours came through beautifully and added a new depth of flavour to the dishes.
I had to resist just eating all the almonds right out of the pack. They were so fresh! I had come to terms with the fact that all the nuts I buy are a little stale and that was just the way it was. Apparently not so. These were nice big fresh tasty almonds. I made vanilla almond coffee creamer with some of the almonds (skin on). I only used a small amount of almonds but it was creamy, nutty, and just splendid in my coffee.
I could not resist making marzipan (it’s been too long since Jule and I had a craving). It is definitely the best marzipan I have made and I think that is entirely down to the quality of the almonds. I used the last of them in a batch of almond and cherry granola. I was sad to eat the last of it!
