At Cru Nature, we unlock the true potential of seeds and nuts by using a natural process, soaking and sprouting, which maximizes their nutritional and taste benefits.
"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." Hippocrates
Founded in 2015, Cru Nature makes the richness of seeds and nuts accessible to everyone, by transforming them into simple, tasty, and ready-to-eat forms.
In nature, seeds and nuts fall to the ground. Upon contact with moisture, germination begins, releasing the energy needed to grow into a new tree.
At Cru Nature, we replicate this phenomenon: after carefully controlled soaking, germination begins, thereby increasing the nutritional and digestive qualities of the seeds and nuts.
This step mimics the action of rain and triggers the germination of seeds and nuts.
Seeds and nuts naturally contain digestion inhibitors. Soaking them dissolves these inhibitors and unlocks their full nutritional potential.
More digestible seeds and nuts, with proteins, vitamins and minerals that are actually assimilated by the body, and a light texture that reveals the true taste notes of each variety.
In nature, seeds and nuts must resist fungi, insects, bacteria, and digestion by animals that consume them. To protect themselves, they naturally contain three compounds:
Phytic acid: mainly found in the hull, it can reduce the absorption of minerals such as zinc, copper, calcium, iron, magnesium, and cobalt.
Enzyme inhibitors: natural preservatives that block certain digestive enzymes, such as trypsin, essential for protein digestion.
Lectins: proteins that are useful to the body, but in excess, can cause digestive discomfort or impair fat regulation.
Activation reduces these compounds, making seeds and nuts easier to assimilate, especially for people with irritable bowel syndrome.
Activation is a soaking and dehydrating process that mimics natural germination. It dissolves digestive inhibitors present in seeds and nuts, making them easier to digest and richer in assimilable nutrients.
Soaking dissolves phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors naturally present in nuts. This improves the absorption of minerals such as zinc, iron, and calcium, and aids digestion.
Yes. By reducing phytic acid and lectins, activation makes the proteins, vitamins, and minerals in nuts more assimilable by the body, which can be particularly beneficial for people suffering from irritable bowel syndrome.
Our nuts and seeds are soaked, sprouted, then stone-ground, with no added salt, sugar, oil, or preservatives.
