Lippens Mango
Organic
Burkina Faso
Dried mango strips from gebana Burkina Faso. Inspected and sorted by hand and packaged in our factory in Bobo-Dioulasso. These slices of the Lippens variety taste sweet like honey. No sulphur, no added sugar.
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.

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."
