Superfruit with impact: blueberries, passion fruit & physalis

Colour, flavour and healthy power for your (late) summer shelves: blueberries, passion fruit and physalis are organic, sustainable and available year-round – each with a strong story.

Colour, flavour and healthy power for your (late) summer shelves: blueberries, passion fruit and physalis are organic, sustainable and available year-round – each with a strong story. 

The new autumn blueberry season has started! Overseas supplies have begun, with fresh organic berries from Peru, Argentina and Chile. Together, these countries ensure a stable season from July to March. 

Our partner Expofresh in Argentina grows its fruit in the fertile Las Yungas valley, where volcanic soil, rainfall and modern cultivation techniques ensure tasty fruit with minimal impact. 

Franco D'Andrea: "We combine generations of agricultural knowledge with new technology to grow responsibly, with respect for people and nature." 

Many shops still opt for plastic packaging for blueberries. Did you know that there are plenty of plastic-free alternatives that help reduce your ecological footprint? 

From 2025 to 2027, blueberries will receive extra visibility through an EU-supported campaign for soft fruit in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. 

Passion fruit | Time for promotion! 

Organic passion fruit ('gulupa') from Colombia is available year-round, with natural harvest peaks in December and June/July. Passion fruit is now widely available – the perfect time to showcase this tropical superfruit. 

Our regular grower Ocati has been supplying consistent top quality via sustainable sea freight for over ten years. Passion fruit is packed with antioxidants, magnesium and fibre – and is loved in smoothies, salads and desserts. 

Take advantage of this moment for a summer promotion. 

 

Physalis | Compact superfruit, naturally protected  

Physalis is available year-round and recognisable by its distinctive lantern shape. This protects the berry naturally and extends its shelf life – clever packaging from Mother Nature herself. 

Did you know that this makes plastic-free packaging perfectly possible? More and more supermarkets are opting for this. 

Physalis is rich in vitamin C and β-cryptoxanthin, a powerful antioxidant and pro-vitamin A.

Organic grapes 2026/27: plan ahead to secure volumes

The overseas grape season starts in mid-December, but planning begins now. Demand for organic grapes remains strong and our growers need early visibility on the volumes they can reserve for fixed programmes. By aligning programmes in advance, we can secure organic volumes more effectively and are also in a stronger position to offer competitive pricing.

Carpe Diem: quality organic grapes start with the soil

Along the Orange River in South Africa’s Northern Cape lies Carpe Diem, a long-standing and trusted partner for our organic grapes. Owner Gog van der Colff took over the family business in 2000 and made the deliberate decision to switch to organic farming in 2006. What began as a step that not everyone was initially convinced by has developed into a progressive organic farm producing grapes, pecans and raisins.
