The taste of fresh, juicy mangoes has bewitched many of us and no wonder. It is an extremely tasty and fragrant fruit. But have you tasted a really ripe mango? The kind of mango that hasn't been plucked from the tree while it's still green, ripening in a container on a boat or on a kitchen windowsill?
Until you manage to travel to Asia, where this king of fruits comes from, for fresh mangoes, we bring them in the highest quality in dried form here in our beautiful Slovakia.
Dried mango is a good prevention against the onset of cancer due to its high content of antioxidants. It has a high content of vitamin E - the so-called beauty vitamin, which gives us healthy skin, nails and hair; vitamin A, which takes care of healthy eyes and eyesight; and a variety of vitamin B, which is suitable for strengthening immunity, memory support, reducing stress and depression.
And because social impact is important to us at KakawCo+ the social impact is also important, the deciding factor when asked : "Where do we bring this great and healthy fruit from" - was not just the premium quality and taste, but also the story behind it. That's why our mangoes from West Africa come from the region of Burkina Faso, where the fruit is harvested and dried by free or displaced mothers. Thanks to the fruit dryer, they not only extend the life of mangoes and prevent unnecessary waste of ripe fruit, but they also have secure work, income and a future for their daughters and sons. Mangoes are always dried solar whenever possible, are not chemically treated and most importantly, are not preserved with SO2!
