 FLASH: ORGANIC EGGS (according to Bonneterre)
These eggs are produced in small, open air units run according to the principles of organic farming.
               - the hens are bred near to the Brittany coast where they benefit from  invigorating air.
               - they benefit from space and have free access to a large outside run
               - 90% of their food comes from the products of organic farming, the  remainder is natural products which have not had any chemical treatments.
               - they are kept in good health with mild therapeutics (homéopathy, herbal medicine)FR.
This guarantees you nutritious and tasty eggs produced respecting the comfort of the animals and the environment.                                                 return 
GUIDE : WHOLEMEAL CEREALS and their PROPERTIES
40% of calories consumed come from cereals processed to a greater or lesser extent according to the continent.  But for a cereal to give a useful protein it must, on the one hand, be produced from wholemeal organically farmed crops, and on the other hand be accompanied by a vegetable, for example :
maize + red beans (South America)
rice + yellow lentils or red beans (India)
rice + green soya or azukis (far east)
>Composition of a wholemeal grain
-husk (rich in proteins, cellulose, vitamins B1 & B2)
-endosperm (rich in gluten)
-germ (rich in lipids and vitamins)
>Small grains, great richese
- OATS : (muesli) stimulates the thyroid, hypoglycaemic, mineral salts, vitamins B1/B2/PP
- WHEAT: numerous forms (grains, ground, bulgar, semolina, couscous, bread), very rich in minerals and vitamins A, B(1, 2, 12), E, K, D, PPLE:
- ESPELT(German wheat): ancestor of wheat (WARNING: not suitable for persons who are allergic to GLUTEN)
- KAMUT: Egyptian wheat (as for wheat but more mineral salts)
- MAIZE : energising, moderator of the thyroid, laxative.
- MILLET: rich in phosphorous, magnesium, iron, vitamin A.
- BARLEY: energising, iron, magnesium, phosphorous.
- QUINOA: cereal of the Incas, contains lysine, an amino acid absent from all other cereals.
- RICE: rich in all minerals, vitamins A, B, B1, B2, B6, lowers blood pressure, aids the elimination of urea.
- SARRASIN: black wheat: record amount of magnesium, advised for arthritics on acid soils, and rheumatics.
- RYE: thins the blood, IRRITATES sensitive intestines.

SORGANIC SAFETY : Traceability
 
Ability to find the history 
of a product...
According to the nature and 
origin of the ingredients,.
Putting in place supplies of 
French organic soya..
When the dioxin in chicken affair disturbed consumers at the threshold of summer, the media referred to a food safety idea, little known by the general public until then: traceability.

"Ability to find the history of a product,
its use or its location by means of recorded identifications”, according to the definition in the regulations, traceability came to complete the rules for the use of the logo AB before the chickens unfortunately came to the forefront.  Products of Organic farming (fr) in this way come within the scope of an extra guarantee.  Effectively, the use of the logo AB for raw or processed produce is only authorised today on condition of knowing all about the origin and route of the produce.

According to the nature and origin of the ingredients,
indicates SETRAB*, it is thus essential to furnish:
 - a certificate “Produce of Organic farming”(fr) for each ingredient of French origin.
 - a certificate “Produce of Organic farming” for the product, whatever its origin and that of its ingredients
 - a certificate by the supplier guaranteeing the origin and organic authenticity of each ingredient (from the EEC or third world)
 - an import authorisation for the ingredients or produce coming from the third world.
However the progressive implementation of this approach merits being underlined. Before being adopted during the course of 1999, these measures for effective traceability clearly concerned products yet to come rather than those which have already seen the light of day.  On the other hand, it already appears that French channels have responded more easily to theses selective criteria.
As to certain developing countries, it can be difficult to provide us with the regulatory elements on the origin of the produce under the measure when land registers don’t yet exist there!
return to products

The putting in place of supplies of French organic soya,
without GMOs, fits perfectly in the context of the demand for quality, in accordance with the expectations of consumers of organic produce.  Their domestic specifications, based on the rules for the use of the logo AB, have been optimised by the systematic enforcement of the criteria established for the traceability of products.  One doesn’t talk of “all or part of the origin of the product” but of its origin from the supply of seeds and its recording.  A nuance which benefits the whole Organic supply chain: seed producers, storage facilities, farmers, transporters, processors... who now all have to show a clean, supporting registered certificate, in the name of traceability...

THE PLANS FOR CERTIFIED QUALITYES

1. Writing a production specification in close collaboration with organic farmers.
2. Personal commitment of each farmer to the production of non GMO soya.
3. PCR analysis of each batch of soya seeds used, including seeds certified no GMO by the seed merchants
4. Detailed control on the ground to verify the agreement of the quantity of seed analysed and the quantity sown
5. Very exact cleaning procedures imposed for harvest machinery, transport vehicles, and storage silos
6. Records made at all stages of production, transport and storage, allowing traceability of the soya from the field to our silos.
7. Control of all elements by an independent body ECOCERT, succeeded in October 1999, in gaining the first official certification in Europe of a supply chain for soya, SOY guaranteed to come from non genetically modified seeds. (biogassendi has confidence in SOY products)

BEAUTY OILS

Plant oils penetrate well into the epidermis, nourish it and protect it with a lipid layer.  Their action is above all moisturising due to  essential fatty acids but also softening and toning or regenerating according to the oil.
An additional advantage compared to beauty products, no allergic reactions or incompatibilities occur.

Some simple and frequent uses
The oils of  jojoba, musk rose, or onager permit you to:
- Rehydrate your skin if it is very dry or tired.
- Remove make up from the skin around the eyes.
- Rub your body on leaving the shower so as to rehydrate and smooth your skin.
Add some drops of essential plant oils which relax or tone your skin according to the oil chosen.
- Make your hair more attractive and nourish scalp.
To use in a face pack at night (warning, do not be heavy handed). Specific oils are used (coconut, sesame, olive, avocado...).

Avocado Accelerates hair growth and revitalises dry or brittle hair
Borage  Rejuvenates the skin and gives suppleness, elasticity and tone
Wheat Germ  Good anti-wrinkle action, rich in regenerants 
Jojoba  Excellent for dry and withered skin.  Contains a natural sun block
Olive  Effective against sores, chaps, irritations
