Combat food waste: enjoy small sized organic lemons!

Sometimes lemons are just too big! Withered lemon quarters in the fridge, half a lemon in the fruit basket surrounded by hungry fruit flies… eventually, they are thrown away. This also happens in the lemon orchards around the world when perfect lemons are left to rot for the simple reason that the size is small. This is a great shame because these lemons are ideal if you need just a little zest or juice in your recipe and for single-household families. Approximately one third of all food worldwide is wasted. Be part of the solution and combat food waste!

Limes

Moroccan limes provide breathing space in a tight organic lime market

Demand for organic fruit continues to grow, and organic limes are no exception. Their popularity is being driven partly by increasing demand for cocktails, mocktails and homemade lemonades, as well as their wider use in salads, curries and other dishes. Consumers are also increasingly choosing citrus grown without synthetic pesticides and without post-harvest fungicide treatment.

Kivinaki

Kivinaki ready for the new Organic Raingrown Oranges season

Ahead of the new organic orange season, our sourcing team visited Kivinaki in Peru. Over the past four years, we have built a successful export programme with this growers’ co-operative. During the visit, we worked together to prepare for the coming months.

Pineapple

Healthy soil makes organic pineapples more resilient

In Costa Rica, too, the effects of climate change are becoming increasingly apparent. Heavy rainfall, in particular, is making organic pineapple cultivation more challenging and requires growers to be adaptable.
