Our brand new product : The dried fruits

Eating dried mangoes and pineapples with spices is a popular snack in many parts of Asia. The combination of sweet and savoury flavours is a tasty and satisfying treat. Dried mangoes and pineapples are often spiced with a mixture of aromatic spices such as cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg, giving them a warm and savoury taste, or even with chilli, a combination also found in Mexico and Latin America on fresh pineapples and mangoes. These dried fruit snacks are found in many street markets and convenience stores in Asia and are enjoyed by people of all ages. They make a great snack on the go and are also a popular gift to bring home to friends and family.

No need to go to Asia to discover this delicious preparation, we have selected for you pineapples and mangoes picked at their peak of ripeness, before being cut by hand, and dehydrated.
Choosing to eat dried fruit in Europe rather than fresh fruit offers three main advantages: firstly, you can enjoy a tasty fruit because it is picked from the tree at the right time of year; secondly, you can eat it at any time of year; and thirdly, transporting dried fruit by boat is more environmentally friendly than sending fresh fruit by air.
With dried fruit, you are sharing a real taste pleasure, exotic, healthy and sustainable.

In Cambodia, this allows producers to sell their ripe fruit locally, whereas at this stage of ripeness, the fruit could not be exported and would be abandoned in the mango fields or on the roadside. So it’s a triple benefit: not losing food, not throwing away crops and ensuring a decent wage for these small farmers from whom we buy their crops.

For this first preparation of Dried Fruits with spices, we have chosen the emblematic spice of our region: the Red Kampot Pepper PGI.
The intense flavour of our dried fruit, slightly sweet, is enhanced by the freshly ground Red Kampot Pepper. Red Kampot Pepper PGI is the least powerful of our peppers. The seeds ripen on the cluster, turning from green to red. They are then selected one by one by hand and dried in the sun. Red Kampot Pepper develops notes of tobacco and red fruits that blend perfectly with the sweetness of our dried fruits. You’ll enjoy the soft, chewy texture of the dried Pineapple and Mango, with a slightly peppery taste.

Just open the pack and try a slice of Mango or Pineapple… Their soft texture is delicious to bite into for a boost of energy, any time of day. It is a convenient and portable snack that can be stored for a long time, making it a popular choice for travel and outdoor activities. It can also be enjoyed as an aperitif, with a cheese board for example.
In the kitchen, they are also perfect in both savoury and sweet preparations (yoghurt ice cream, couscous, tagine, duck breast, sauces, chutneys, etc.).
