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.

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.
