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.
Sustainability & transparency
- Grown by 1603 family farmers on an average of 1.8 ha in the Hauts-Bassins and Cascades Regions in Burkina Faso
- Organic, non-irrigated, manually harvested and sorted, never repackaged, all processing done locally, transport: straight from the farm to Bobo-Dioulasso by lorry, by lorry to Abidjan, by ship to Rotterdam
- Purchasing from cooperatives and family farmers straight from the farm since 2012
- Potential for improvement: Provide training for family farmers so that they view themselves as business owners, promote innovative farming practices and biodiversity, raise the lowest wages at gebana Burkina Faso

TRAORÉ MOUMOUNI
FARMER FROM TOUSSIANA, BURKINA FASO
If I could choose another occupation, I would work at a tree nursery.
Traoré Moumouni has a six-hectare plot of land, two hectares of which he uses to grow food. He also keeps goats and chickens. "Farming is a good way to make a living, especially if you grow according to organic farming standards, which bring in a higher income. Even so, there are many challenges, such as a lack of tools and equipment. I would like to buy a plough and a tricycle so that I can produce more."
