Nestled within the lush, diverse ecosystems of Zambia, the story of Green Giraffe’s Dried Mango Slices begins. It’s a tale that stretches from the towering mango trees swaying in the gentle African breezes to the bustling marketplaces and serene homes where these beloved snacks are savored.
The Harvest
Our journey starts in the heart of the harvest, where local Zambian farmers carefully hand-select the juiciest most succulent mangoes. These are not just any mangoes—they are a local variety known for their vibrant color and exceptional sweetness nurtured under the Zambian sun and fed by the natural richness of the land.
The Craft
Once harvested, the mangoes embark on their transformation. Skilled artisans slice the fruit with a huge sense of admiration for the craft handed down through generations. The drying process is where the magic happens—meticulously executed to ensure each slice retains the mango’s natural flavor, aroma, and nutrients. It’s a process of patience and precision, resulting in a product that’s rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, and a bounty of antioxidants.
