Product of the week : Juicy South-African Grapefruit

 

Hi, my name is André and we cultivate organic citrus fruits in South Africa for Nature & More. Our farm is located in the fertile valley of Orange River. One of the reasons we started the organic citrus production was diversification at our farm and increasing year-round employment for our workers. By starting organic citrus production we are lengthening our production season, we could create permanent employment for a lot of our previously temporary workers. 

Did you know …

  • Grapefruits are known for their specific sweet-sour taste and they burst with healthy vitamins
  • The grapefruit looks similar to an orange and frequently has a flat bottom
  • It contains a powerful antioxidant called lycopene, which also contributes to the pinkish color of the fruit. Lycopene is a carotenoid phytonutrient and has the highest capacity at fighting free radical damage to cells, a very important antioxidant to have in your diet

We have many different packaging options available like boxes 15kg, layered, cellulose nets. Your shopper is a fan of Natural Branding, in order to ban single use plastic. Contact your Eosta accountmanager in order to scedule your program.

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.
