Safflower: The Azorean Botanical Gem

We’re thrilled to introduce the latest addition to our Azores Natural Condiments lineup – Safflower. Also known as Açaflor, this botanical gem has long been cherished in Azorean culinary traditions and beyond. Safflower lends its unique aroma and vibrant color to our condiments, enhancing their flavor profile and nutritional value.

Traditionally utilized for its culinary and medicinal properties, Safflower brings a host of health benefits to the table, including

• Enhances digestion.
• Aids in weight control.
• Fights colds and flu.
• Prevents asthma attacks.
• Strengthens liver health and detoxification efforts.

Incorporating Safflower into your dishes not only adds a burst of color but also boosts their nutritional content, making every meal a delightful and nourishing experience.
 

Spirulina: The Azores Superfood

At the forefront of our Natural Condiments collection stands Natural Spirulina. Historically celebrated as a superfood, it has garnered admiration from various quarters. Not only were the Aztecs in awe of it, but astronauts have also depended on it for nutrition in space.Additionally, the World Health Organization has recognized its vital role in combating hunger.

Equally important, our Spirulina from the Azores is a treasure trove of nutrients:

• Predominantly, it is composed of up to 65% protein, including the remarkable antioxidant phycocyanin.
• Furthermore, it supplies all eight essential amino acids, indispensable for our well-being.
• Also, it is a rich source of vital vitamins such as A, B1, B2, B6, E, and K.
• Not to mention, it encompasses essential minerals like iron, potassium, zinc, calcium, magnesium, and others.

Salt Flower: The Essence of the Sea

Similarly, our Salt Flower, delicately harvested by hand from the Castro Marim Natural Reserve, is a reflection of the sea’s purity.

This natural sea salt not only mimics the mineral content of the world’s oceans but also parallels the mineral composition of our internal bodily fluids, including:

• Blood plasma.
• Lymphatic fluid.
• Extracellular fluid.
