Question 1

How are the dried mango strips made?

Accepted Answer

Our mangoes are grown in Burkina Faso. When they are almost ripe, we harvest them and cut them into thin slices. Then it's off to the oven for the mango strips, where they are dried at a low temperature. But how is this different from the puffed mango strips in the store? We've written a blog post about our different drying methods, explaining exactly how we dry our dried fruit. Feel free to click through!

Question 2

Why do you have both Fairtrade and organic mangoes in your range?

Accepted Answer

At KoRo, we want to offer you the widest possible range of products and give you the freedom to decide what you want to buy. Some essential differences between conventional, organic and fair trade: In conventional agriculture, certain pesticides may be used within certain limits and, for example, dried fruits may be sulfurized for preservation. In organic products, on the other hand, the use of pesticides and sulfurization is prohibited. With Fairtrade products, in addition to compliance with certain ecological standards (many Fairtrade products are therefore also certified organic), there are also social and economic standards that must be observed. You can find out more about this under "What does the Fairtrade seal mean?". The compliance with the organic standards is, just like the Fairtrade standards, regularly controlled and certified by an inspection body, which results, besides a usually lower yield per hectare compared to conventional agriculture, also in a higher price for the product.

Question 3

How do I store the mangoes?

Accepted Answer

For super juicy mango strips, store the package in a cool and dry place. Then they can be stored in their original packaging for at least 10 months directly after production.

Question 4

What does the Fairtrade seal mean?

Accepted Answer

In order for a food product to be sold as a Fairtrade product, three different standards must be met: ecological, social and economic. The ecological standards include environmentally friendly cultivation of the product and the prohibition of hazardous pesticides. Social standards relate to the empowerment of small farmers and workers, guaranteeing, among other things, regulated working hours and a ban on exploitative child labor. The economic standards include transparent trade relations and, above all, the payment of a Fairtrade minimum price and a Fairtrade premium by the traders. This premium is then used for self-selected projects of the producers that serve the community. Compliance with all Fairtrade standards is controlled and certified by FLOCERT, the global certification body for Fairtrade.

Question 5

How many calories have dried mango strips?

Accepted Answer

There are 355 calories per 100 g of dried mango strips. We have listed all the nutritional values in the table next to or below the product description.

Question 6

Are the mango strips vegan?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our Fairtrade mango strips are made from 100% mangoes. That's why they are vegan, of course!

Question 7

Are dried mango strips healthy?

Accepted Answer

We avoid strict classifications of healthy or unhealthy. By the way, there are no such classifications in ecotrophology, i.e. nutritional science. In the end, what always counts is: 'Balance is key', and you can achieve this with our Fairtrade mango strips. The dried fruit is a great source of fiber and has a juicy-sweet taste. If you're interested in this topic, listen to our podcast episode: "Dried fruit vs. fresh fruit".

Question 8

Where does the mango come from?

Accepted Answer

Our mangos grow in Burkina Faso, a country in West Africa. We purchase our mangoes there directly from our partner farmers and can guarantee compliance with organic and fair trade standards through direct cooperation.

Question 9

Can I make dried mango strips myself?

Accepted Answer

Of course, you can also make the dried mango strips yourself. The easiest way is to use a dehydrator, because the temperature can be kept constant at 50 degrees for a long time (about 10-12 hours). But your project can also work with an oven. However, you should note that the drying is then very time-consuming and above all consumes a lot of energy.

Question 10

Are the organic mango strips also Fairtrade?

Accepted Answer

Yes, these mango strips are Fairtrade. With this we want to contribute to the improvement of environmental protection and social standards in Burkina Faso.
