Small scale batch production ensures the best possible taste and nutrition for Clearspring organic [1] seed snacks.
The roasting machine at Landgarten, Clearspring's snack producer, is specially designed to optimise the health and nutritional benefits of organic seeds. It uses a hot air system to heat small batches at the lowest possible temperature and to avoid any scorching on hot metal surfaces. Uniquely, for this type of roasting, it also keeps the combustion gases completely separate from the product thereby avoiding the formation of PAHs.
PAHs - Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons - are organic compounds formed as a result of incomplete combustion of fossil fuels. Car exhausts and cigarette smoke are common sources of PAHs which are known to cause cancer. Seed roasting machines also typically will allow some combustion gases to make contact with the foods which is why Herbert at Landgarten was keen to design his own machine.
After roasting, Landgarten ensures that the fresh flavour and full nutrition of their organic seeds and soya beans are fully preserved. Together with the Austrian Research Institute Landgarten has developed special handling and packing techniques that minimise air contact with the product to ensure that Clearspring organic seed snacks remain fresh tasting right through their packaged life.
