Mango Harvest

Mango

Mango, the apple of the tropics, is a very firm favourite: sweet, irresistable and delicious.

Pineapple

“Variety is the spice of life…” so how about exploring some new exotic fruits to discover more Colombian flavours and textures?

Pitaya, yellow dragon fruit, when dried, has a gentle sweetness, with a unique texture, a little like a biscuit but much healthier.

The Goldenberry, Uchuva or Physalis, dried as a sultana, adds a pop of flavour to cereals, salads, fruit salads, cakes & muffins.
