Asparagus season is soon coming to an end. You’ll receive the last deliveries from our asparagus producer in the coming days, so here’s a suitable recipe idea from us. You’ll have undoubtedly prepared your favourite recipe often enough in the meantime.
For over 40 years we have been involved in fair trade. However, we announced recently that we are no longer labelling our products ‘fair’.
This is because ‘fair’ suggests satisfactory conditions, whereas the actual situation is often different. With our trade, we want to have more of an impact in the countries of origin. Hence, we will drive forward our commitment to social and ecological sustainability in a more focussed way.
We have had cashew flour in our product range for several years. It was introduced by Linda Dörig, the former managing director of gebana Burkina Faso. Her goal was to generate more value by selling this product. We wanted to find out more.
During her visit, Linda took the opportunity to speak with Talato Adèle ZABA, the head of Cashew Grading.
In part two of our interview with Patrick Eboe, Managing Director of gebana Togo, and Michael Stamm from the gebana Development Team, we talk about poverty, minimum prices and our local activities aimed at helping to improve the situation.
Carolin from CaroKocht created a great cookies recipe with our delicious oranges from Greece, dates from Tunisia and chocolate from Togo! Using dates only as a sweetener, these cookies will have intense orange and tahini notes. Thanks to the oats they’re a great way to start you day, especially when you only have time to grab a quick bite. In the afternoon they go well with a cup of coffee or tea. Enjoy!
Back in the autumn, a number of gebana customers received a sample of ground cashew nuts to try out. Dorothe P. used them to bake tasty cookies.
Still have some delicious oranges left? Hobby chef Silvio Iacconi inspires us once again with a great dessert idea! Note: This recipe is also suitable for other citrus fruits.
