Made with over 90 percent organic ingredients from certified organic growers, Natural Findings Green Powder ingredients are harvested at the peak of potency, concentrated and dried using a proprietary cold-processing method technique that preserves their energetic and nutritional integrity. This step is very important, because there is a big difference between “cold pressed” and “cold processed”.
In the case of coconut oil, for instance, the UK-based company Cocovida says that almost all coconut oil is cold-pressed, which is irrelevant because cold-pressed oil is usually heated after the pressing, but companies put the word cold-pressed on their labels in hopes that the consumer will confuse it with cold-processed oil. Indeed, cold-processed oil does not undergo any heating, and in the Philippines a movement is underway to label the good stuff as Absolutely No Heat (ANH). This is the method advanced by Natural Findings Green Powder.
Basically, oils extracted from seeds, fruits, vegetables and nuts either by using heat or not. According to Livestrong.com, the way that oil is extracted has a direct effect on how the oil tastes and the amount of nutrients it has to offer. Using heat to extract the oil produces more of it, but heat can degrade the oil’s flavor and nutritional quality. Using low-heat methods produced higher quality oil, albeit in lesser quantities.
Some presses use heat to advance the oil extraction process. Electric heaters can be attached to the press cylinder; as the seeds inside the cylinder heat up, they become softer and break down more easily. Although this method tends to generate higher quantities of oil, the heat can reduce the flavor, aroma and nutritional content of the oil.
Extracting oil through cold-pressing involves crushing the seed or nut and forcing out the oil. Presses come in a range of sizes, from small sizes for home use to huge commercial presses. The seeds are dropped inside a cylinder that contains a rotating screw. This screw grinds and crushes the seeds until the oil is extracted. Small holes in the bottom of the cylinder allow the oil to escape into a collection container. Although some heat is generated through friction as the screw breaks down the seeds, it’s usually not enough heat to damage the oil.
Cold-processing maintains the temperature of the final product all the way through the cycle, to preserve powerful free-radical-fighting antioxidants. Even the packaging is designed to protect Natural Findings Green Powder from damaging light, oxygen and moisture after bottling. As a result, the vegetable, fruit and berry ingredients are brightly colored and non-oxidized, retaining all their enzymes and other valuable phytonutrient constituents.
Natural Findings Green Powder can be used as a regular supplement, because it contains cold-processed barley and wheat grasses, with three times the chlorophyll of other products, organic spirulina superfood, chlorella algae, organic stinging nettle, grape seed and sprouts of kale, broccoli and cauliflower, but no grains, legumes, added sugar or alfalfa filler.
