Why Max Activated Process?

MAX Activated Process is our unique process that transforms sesame seeds into the pure, nutritious and totally absorbed super food. It is not just a simple sprouted process, but includes the moderation of all critical factors as :

• Organic Sesame variety/One of the world’s best varieties :the Greek Evros
• High farming land Altitude/≥ 450 m
• Soil composition/ High concentration in red iron
• Seed’s maturation/ ≥15 weeks
• Harvesting method/only by hand in order to minimize the seeds injures
• Stable Storage Humidity and Temperature
• Soaking duration
• The minimum sprout length for maximum nutricious benefits
• The air temperature for seed drying
• Method of crushing /Self –designed innovative equipment
• Monitoring of sesame paste’s temperature in all production stages/TOTALLY RAW

We achieve the absolut maximum purity, flavour and nourishment.

Welcome to a new generation of nourishment , flavor and super food.

Welcome to Samythos MAX Activated TahiniWhat does Max-activation Process do?

Max-activation Process removes bacterias such as salmonella, toxins such as anti-nutrients, mycotoxins, heavy metals and other impurities from sesame seed. As a result:

• it purifies, amplifies, and increases the minerals, vitamins and protein you can absorb.
• Samythos is unique with indication ‘Totally absence of Salmonella/Aflatoxins not detected’ on each label

What are anti-nutrients?

Anti-nutrients are natural protective compounds found in raw and cooked nuts and seeds. They bind to vitamins, minerals and proteins, preventing their absorption or inhibiting enzymes required for digestion. Common anti-nutrients include phytic acid, lectins, oxalates and enzyme inhibitors.

What is Salmonella ?

Salmonella bacteria is the number one danger for sesame seeds. The EU imposes ,for salmonella lab test , to 50% of imported sesame consignments. Salmonella ‘loves’ sesame seed’s oil and ‘likes’ high storage humidity and temperature.
Salmonella is the type of bacteria that’s the most frequently reported cause of food-related illness in the United States. You can’t see, smell, or taste it.

Fact: Salmonella infections are very common. When people mention food poisoning, they’re usually talking about salmonella. Tens of millions of cases are reported around the world every year.

What are mycotoxins?

Mycotoxins are naturally occurring substances produced by the fungi Aspergillus, Fusarium, and Penicillium. Eight of the 300 mycotoxins identified are consistently found in the food chain and pose serious health risks worldwide.
Aflatoxins are the most common toxic mycotoxin found in food, such as in sesame, nuts, grains, dried fruits and spices. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified aflatoxins as class 1 carcinogens for
humans.

Fact: One tablespoon of sesame paste can contain 57% of an adult’s and 130% of infants/toddlers’ daily safety limit for aflatoxins.

What are heavy metals?

Heavy metals are natural elements that can contaminate all aspects of organic and non-organic agriculture. Mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium, aluminium, nickel, uranium and thallium are common heavy metals that can accumulate inside the body, causing chronic or acute disease.

Fact: Brown rice can accumulate high amounts of arsenic.

The result of Max-activation Process

Based on our latest scientific research, max-activated tahini is the lowest in phytic acid, enzyme inhibitors, tannins and lectins. This implies that our products have the greatest nutrient bioavailability for minerals, vitamins and protein compared to regular and simple activated sesame tahinis.
