Amélie Mango
Organic
Burkina Faso
Dried mango strips from gebana Burkina Faso. Inspected and sorted by hand and packaged in our factory in Bobo-Dioulasso. These slices of the Amélie variety have a slightly sour taste. No sulphur, no added sugar.
Use & preparation
- Dried mangos can be used for cooking and baking just like fresh ones. Simply soak them in water for at least 3 hours.
- Thanks to their sweetness, dried mangos are ideal for ice cream, creams or pastries. Try these recipes for homemade mango ice cream on a stick or a layered mango dessert!
- You can also use the fruit for savoury dishes: Pureed mangos make a wonderful addition to salad dressings, dips or hummus. You can also use finely chopped pieces as a fruity addition to salads, especially with rice or soba noodles.

Storage & shelf life
Dried fruit can be stored at room temperature well past the best-before date in a tightly sealed container away from light. They only become slightly harder after a few months. Before using them for baking or cooking, you can soften fruit that has hardened by placing it in some hot water for a few minutes.

KONE VLÉ NOUMOUTIÉ
FARMER FROM DAN, BURKINA FASO
My favourite season is the rainy season!
Kone Vlé Noumoutié lives on his farm with his family of 19. Together with his wives and children, he farms 29 hectares of land. The area suffers from dry spells, which are a big problem. "We are completely dependent on rainfall," says the farmer. "Uninterrupted access to water would make my work much easier. This is why I'd like to have my own boreholes."
