About the product
Our wild organic Fairtrade mountain almonds come from the Samarkand region in Uzbekistan. They grow wild on almond trees, are harvested by hand by smallholder families, freshly dried, cracked, carefully roasted and salted. The result: a wonderfully crunchy and aromatic nutty treat – with no additives whatsoever.
Our almonds come from old, small-kernelled varieties. Crisp in texture, with a sweet almond flavour, light roasted aromas and a subtle hint of salt – perfectly balanced.
Almonds are a valuable source of vegetable protein, fiber, healthy unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E and minerals such as magnesium and phosphorus. They support normal cholesterol levels and protect cells from oxidative stress. As a nutrient-rich snack, they support a balanced diet.
Almonds are versatile: As a pure snack, in muesli and bowls, for desserts or as an ingredient in oriental and Mediterranean cuisine. They are also ideal for baking and for delicious almond pesto.
The wild almonds grow around Samarkand and are collected by hand by small farmers. Processing is carried out by Silk Road Organik Foods, the first Fairtrade certified processor in Central Asia. All steps - from drying, sizing, sorting, peeling, roasting and seasoning - take place entirely in Uzbekistan.
Silk Road Organik Foods works with two small farmers' cooperatives that support around 1,000 families along the old Silk Road. This close cooperation results in high-quality products, fair working conditions and sustainable development opportunities in structurally weak regions.
The almonds are produced from A to Z in Uzbekistan - directly in the country of origin of the raw material. Pakka deliberately relies on direct trade without middlemen. In addition to paying the Fairtrade premium, the harvests of small farmers are pre-financed. This strengthens the entire local value chain and ensures fair incomes, high-quality products and sustainable local economic growth.
In addition to the Fairtrade premium, 5 centimes of every product sold goes to the Pakka Foundation to support projects in the countries of origin. More info: www.pakkafoundation.org
