My journey led me into the rich world of seeds and nuts, where every variety offered not only culinary delight but also nourishing benefits for our skin! Listening to my mother and her friends discuss the “freshness” of seeds and plants felt like hearing about living beings—seeds just waiting for the right moment to sprout. This sparked my passion for a living, plant-based diet, where seeds are the true stars, each with its time and place to flourish.
Today, I’ve brought this passion to life with TerraCura, a company dedicated to producing pure, natural plant butters and oils from precious seeds. Located in the scenic Tuscan-Emilian Apennines in Monghidoro, Bologna, TerraCura transforms hand-selected dried fruits and seeds into wholesome products. Here, “The Experience of Eating Live” is our philosophy—a practice rooted in my past, when I learned to savor fresh, whole fruits and herbs, rich in flavor and nutrients.
In today’s global market, however, the value of dried fruits and seeds often goes unnoticed. Despite forming a foundational part of our diet, they’re overlooked, and nutritional information is often standardized across all varieties of almonds, hazelnuts, sesame, and beyond. Too often, we’re consuming seeds that have lost their vitality, deprived of their authentic flavors and, in some cases, even containing potentially harmful properties. At TerraCura, we’re committed to reviving the authentic essence of these foods to bring the true taste and benefit of living seeds and nuts back to our plates.
