Seitenbacher: Organic and Natural Food at its Best

Seitenbacher is one of Germany’s leading organic, natural cereal makers—and these whole-grain oat, barley, spelt, wheat, and muesli blends, with nuts and fruits, make incredibly tasty, nutritious meals for breakfast or in-between. Enjoy with milk, kefir, and/or fresh juices for a quick, satisfying start to the day.

Deep in the lush, rolling hills of the Odenwald, about an hour east of Heidelberg, lies the picturesque medieval town of Buchen and a small creek called Seitenbach. That creek gave its name to one of Germany’s most prolific organic-natural food companies, launched in the 1970s by Willi and Marion Pfannenschwarz. Today, Seitenbacher muesli cereals, culinary oils, vegetarian broths and gravies, energy bars, and organic sweets are found all over Germany and in many stores across the USA. If the breakfast muesli or culinary oils haven’t been tried yet, this is the perfect moment—expect a phenomenal taste experience rooted in clean ingredients and careful craft.

German Muesli

Choose from 17 different muesli flavors for a healthy dose of “clean” nutrition. Thoughtfully balanced combinations of whole-grain oats, barley, spelt, or wheat, plus organic corn flakes, nuts, seeds, dried fruits, or chocolate, mean there’s a muesli for every palate—from fruit-forward and nut-rich to chocolate-kissed blends kids love.

  • Current offers: Enjoy promotional prices on German Muesli I and German Muesli II, plus deep-discounted deals on other varieties.

  • How to serve: Pour over cold milk, swirl with kefir, or shake with fresh juice; top with seasonal fruit for extra fiber and flavor.

  • Why it works: Whole grains deliver steady energy, while nuts and seeds add satisfying crunch and plant-based nutrition.

Vegetable Broth

One of Seitenbacher’s best-selling and best-tasting staples. Simply dissolve the contents of a sachet or 2 tablespoons of powder in hot water for a vegetarian broth with a delicious, meat-free umami profile, rounded out with herbs and spices.

  • Quick uses: Sip as a light cup broth, cook grains and legumes in it, or use as a flavorful base for sauces and pan gravies.

  • Pantry win: Shelf-friendly, portionable, and ready in seconds—ideal for weeknights.

Culinary Oils

Pressed and refined in Seitenbacher’s company-owned Grünsfeld oil mill, these organic culinary oils are crafted to help fuel the body and brain with clean, high-quality fats.

  • Flavored oils: Garlic, lemon, and hot chili oils elevate salads, pasta, roast vegetables, and grilled meats with an instant gourmet finish.

  • Sunflower seed oils: Locally sourced seeds produce oils with remarkably pure flavor and versatile kitchen use.

  • Organic frying oil: Made from high-oleic, cold-pressed sunflower seeds, this oil is well-suited to high-temperature frying, cooking, and baking. Expect crisp, tasty pommes frites (French fries) that aren’t greasy to the touch.

Serving ideas: Drizzle lemon oil over green salads and roasted fish; toss garlic oil with warm potatoes and parsley; use Mediterranean herb oil on tomato-mozzarella platters or grilled vegetables.

Nutritive Oils

For digestion, gut health, and overall well-being, Seitenbacher offers hemp, flax, and black seed oils—each certified vegan, organic, all-natural, and non-GMO. These are commonly taken by the tablespoon or used in cold applications like dressings and smoothies.

Friendly note: Nutrition benefits vary by individual. The following are general uses traditionally associated with these oils and are not medical advice.

Hemp Oil

A rich, nutty oil suitable for both ingestion and topical use.

  • When eaten: A source of beneficial fatty acids that can support brain and heart health and general dietary balance.

  • On skin: Often used to moisturize and help soothe dryness; many find it complements a gentle skincare routine.

  • Clarification: While often mentioned alongside CBD, hemp seed oil comes from seeds that contain little to no THC.

How to use: Spoon over grain bowls, fold into hummus, or whisk into creamy herb dressings (avoid high heat).

Flax Oil

Naturally rich in plant-based Omega-3 (ALA).

  • Why fans love it: Omega-3s are widely appreciated for supporting heart-conscious eating patterns and general well-being.

  • Kitchen tip: Best uncooked—use in salad dressings, smoothies, or drizzle over yogurt, oatmeal, or roasted vegetables after cooking.

Black Seed Oil

Traditionally valued for its aromatic actives (including thymol and related compounds).

  • How it’s used: Many enjoy black seed oil as a daily spoonful or blended into salad dressings; the slightly bitter profile pairs well with citrus and honey.

  • Culinary note: Adds character to grain salads, yogurt dips, and stir-in sauces (added off heat).
