Food waste is one of the biggest environmental challenges of our times, not only to reduce the amount of food that is thrown away, but also because of the environmental impact it generates, associated with the production, processing and transportation of food and beverages.
Small actions make a big difference and to build a more sustainable future, companies can adopt different measures to reduce food waste:
by promoting more sustainable practices, carrying out awareness campaigns, betting on innovative and sustainable technologies or using healthy and natural ingredients that also have a positive impact on our planet.
Can you imagine throwing away an apple after picking its seeds? Neither can we!
Globally, we throw away 50% of all fruits and vegetables, and until now, 70% of cocoa fruit, one of the most wasted fruits on the planet, was discarded. That's why, Cabosse Naturalsa global cocoa expert, is reusing cocoa fruit by developing a new supply chain with a range of pure cocoa ingredients.
Cabosse Naturals: good for me, good for the planet
Now, not only the seeds, but also the pulp is transformed into natural, nutritious and 100% pure cocoa fruit ingredients, such as juice, concentrate or powdered pulp.
GOOD FOR ME
Today's consumer shows a growing interest in health and wellness, especially in the wake of the pandemic and for millennials and centennials, whose understanding of "happiness" extends beyond themselves.
✓ 100% pure cocoa fruit.
✓ 100% free of additives, sweeteners and preservatives.
✓ Naturally sweet, no added sugars, only naturally present sugars.
✓ Rich in nutrients: naturally high in fiber and source of potassium. Also contains magnesium, manganese, calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, vitamin B5 and vitamin D2.
AMAZING TASTE
In addition to being natural and healthy ingredients, the cocoa fruit has a hitherto unknown and surprising taste, very different from the taste of chocolate produced from cocoa beans.
✓ Fruity and "zesty" (citrusy and refreshing).
✓ A new and different flavor.
GOOD FOR THE PLANET
✓ Cabosse Naturals is a member of the Upcycled Food Association, leading the low-waste revolution in cocoa fruit. If all harvested fruit were used, it would reduce the same amount of CO2 as planting 3.5 billion trees a year!
✓ We estimate that with the sale of the cocoa fruit pulp, farmers can increase their income by up to 10%, in addition to the income they earn from the seeds, helping more than 450 families they currently work with.
The sale and processing of all parts of the cocoa fruit creates positive benefits for farmers and their local economies. In Ecuador, a scalable supply chain has been created to valorize cocoa fruit pulp and shells, working closely with local farmers to produce high-value ingredients.
Cabosse Naturals extends to a wide range of applications offering manufacturers new possibilities for beverages, ice cream and sorbets, dairy, desserts and even fruit snacks.
