5 reasons why nuts are not just nuts
How the Right Nut Snack Can Improve Your Health
There’s an Important Difference
Not all nuts are created equal. Choosing between regular supermarket nuts and the activated organic nuts from 2DiE4 Live Foods makes a significant difference – for your health, taste, and sustainability. But 2DiE4 Live Foods stands for more than just a nut product. It’s a philosophy that combines quality, sustainability, and responsibility.
1. Pesticide and Chemical Residues Are a No-Go!
Supermarket nuts, often not organic-certified, are grown in monocultures that deplete the soil. They are frequently contaminated with pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, which not only harm the environment but also pose a direct risk to your health. A study by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) showed that about 70% of tested conventional nuts contained pesticide residues, including substances linked to hormonal disruptions and an increased risk of certain cancers. Moreover, these chemicals enter groundwater, causing long-lasting ecological damage.
Why You’re Safe with 2DiE4 Live Foods
2DiE4 Live Foods nuts are sourced exclusively from organic farming without chemical additives. Our partners are small family farms that manage their soils sustainably. Every batch is carefully inspected before being processed in Bavaria, ensuring that our nuts are both environmentally friendly and healthy.
2. Reducing Antinutrients and Unlocking Nutrients
Raw nuts contain natural defense compounds such as phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors. Phytic acid binds essential minerals like iron, zinc, and calcium in the digestive tract, making them less accessible to the body. Enzyme inhibitors interfere with digestion by blocking digestive enzymes, leading to poor nutrient absorption. This can be especially problematic for people with sensitive digestion or increased mineral needs. Studies show that high levels of phytic acid can contribute to long-term mineral deficiencies unless counteracted by processes like fermentation or soaking.
What 2DiE4 Live Foods Does Differently
Our two-step fermentation process (also known as activation) breaks down antinutrients and releases essential minerals like zinc, calcium, and iron. Each nut is processed with care and attention to detail in small batches.
Scientific Fact
Activated nuts contain up to 30% more bioavailable minerals than raw nuts. According to the book Nuts and Seeds, activated nuts are not only rich in vital nutrients but also support enzymatic activity and improve mineral absorption. Studies also show they help reduce oxidative stress and promote cellular health. They are easier to digest and enhance the diversity of your gut microbiome, positively impacting your immune system.
3. Superior Nutrient Quality and Uncompromising Standards
Conventionally grown supermarket nuts are often products of mass production. These monocultures deplete the soil’s natural fertility, causing plants to absorb fewer nutrients from the soil. This directly impacts the taste and nutrient content of the nuts. Studies show that nuts from such conditions often contain fewer antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins than their organically grown counterparts. Additionally, mass production typically relies on synthetic fertilizers and chemical pesticides, which harm the environment and can be hazardous to health.
The 2DiE4 Live Foods Difference
Our nuts come from sustainably operated farms that prioritize healthy soils and eco-friendly methods. Our walnuts from Bulgaria, almonds from Spain, and pecans from South Africa are not only flavorful but also nutrient-dense highlights.
4. Improving Digestibility and Gut Health
Many people experience digestive issues like bloating after eating raw nuts. This is due to factors such as hard-to-digest proteins that can ferment excessively in the gut and antinutrients like phytic acid and tannins that hinder the absorption of vital minerals. These issues can lead to bloating, fullness, and even inflammatory reactions in the digestive tract. Targeted processing methods like fermentation break down these substances, making nuts more digestible and nutrient-rich.
Why 2DiE4 Live Foods Nuts Are Better
Activation through our two-step fermentation process not only makes the nuts more digestible but also actively improves your gut health. Prebiotic fibers promote the growth of beneficial bacteria, strengthening your immune system.
Fact
A healthy gut flora not only influences digestion but also your mood, as it stimulates the production of serotonin – the “happiness hormone.” According to the book Nuts and Seeds, fermentation can also enhance the absorption of nutrients like magnesium and vitamin B, which are crucial for nervous system health.
5. Combining Flavor and Sustainability
Supermarket nuts often taste bland, dry, or artificial. 2DiE4 Live Foods nuts, on the other hand, deliver an unparalleled flavor with natural umami taste.
Why Umami?
Umami, known as the “fifth taste,” describes a savory, full-bodied flavor found in foods like nuts, ripe tomatoes, or parmesan cheese. At 2DiE4 Live Foods, this taste is enhanced through the two-step fermentation process, breaking down complex compounds to intensify and harmonize the flavors.
Scientific Background
The two-step fermentation process highlights the natural flavor complexity of nuts while reducing unwanted bitter compounds often found in raw nuts. This creates a perfect balance of sweetness, saltiness, and umami. Studies show this process not only improves taste but also boosts valuable nutrients and antioxidants.
The Perfect Crunch
Our gentle drying process at a maximum of 65°C ensures that valuable nutrients are preserved while the nuts develop their signature crunch. Each nut becomes a unique flavor experience.
What Makes 2DiE4 Live Foods Unique?
Our nuts are not mass-produced. Every step, from soaking in spring water with unrefined sea salt to drying, is performed with the utmost care. This way, we combine indulgence, health, and sustainability in a single product that will exceed your expectations.
More Than a Brand – A Philosophy
2DiE4 Live Foods was founded in 2012 by Agni Thalgott, with Filip Good joining in 2020. Both share a deep connection to nature and a commitment to providing the highest quality healthy foods. Their mission is to create the world’s best nuts – with irresistible umami flavor, rich in valuable and easily absorbable nutrients, and with the perfect crunch.
Our production takes place at Gut Mooseurach in Königsdorf, nestled in the Bavarian Alpine foothills. There, the nuts are activated with pure spring water amidst nature.
