Product of the week: precious pomegranates

 

Hello, I am Jan Bernard and I grow organic exotic fruits such as pomegranate, maracuja, and granadilla for Nature & More in the tropical highlands in Peru. We are an association of individual landowners who have organized themselves to pool their resources in order to afford technical assistance and gain access to the export market. Today, more than 1000 families participate in the organization and apart from the cultivated land, we take care of about 50,000 hectares of endangered Amazon rainforest. The beautiful fruit does not only look wonderful, but it is also packed with nutrients! Pomegranates are rich in vitamine C, K and antioxidants. All in all, excellent for good health.

Jan: "I think it is important that consumers realise that they can have an effect on world affairs. Globalization enables people in other parts of the world to share the wealth and live in dignity."

Natural Branding can be done with pomegranates in order to eliminate single used plastics and packaging materials.

As wonderful as this fruit is, it can be a hassle to separate the seeds from the skin. In the column to the right, you'll see simple instructions on how to peel a pomegranate.

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.
