The Egyptian season has kicked off: this week, the first container of organic sweet potatoes is leaving our long-term grower, with whom we’ve been working for years. He ensures consistent quality and sustainable, organic cultivation. This versatile tuber is available year-round - with Egypt playing a key role in supply during this time of year.
Sweet potatoes are rapidly gaining popularity across Europe. Younger generations and urban families are increasingly opting for them – driven by health trends, social media inspiration, and a growing desire for more variety in their diets.
Besides being delicious and versatile, the tuber is naturally rich in fibre, beta-carotene (vitamin A), vitamin C, potassium and has a low glycaemic index - a perfect addition to a healthy diet.
Are you a sweet potato lover? Here is a simple summer tip for the BBQ: rub sweet potato slices with olive oil, grill, and finish with sea salt and coriander. Simple, nutritious and surprisingly delicious.
Ginger with impact
Besides sweet potato, organic ginger also plays a leading role in the Eosta-root assortment. Thanks to sourcing from China, Thailand, Peru and Brazil, we can supply year-round.
New in our range: Fairtrade Peruvian ginger. It excels not only in quality, but also in social impact. The ginger is grown by a cooperative of 32 farmers. The Fairtrade price and premium allow them to invest in farming tools, education, school kits, access to healthcare, and future plans for a crating and sorting facility and conversion to Demeter cultivation. A tangible example of how important this premium is for social development.
