Our wild organic Fairtrade mountain almonds come from the Samarkand region in Uzbekistan. They grow without cultivation on wild almond trees, are harvested by hand by small farming families, carefully cracked, sorted, blanched and peeled. The result is a crunchy snack - without any additives.
The almonds come from old, small-seeded varieties. They impress with their crunchy consistency and pleasantly mild, almond-typical flavour. Blanching and peeling brings out the fine, slightly sweet flavour of the almonds particularly clearly. A pure delight, ideal for anyone who appreciates almonds in their most natural form.
Almonds are a valuable source of vegetable protein, fibre, healthy unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E and minerals such as magnesium and phosphorus. They support a normal cholesterol level and protect the cells from oxidative stress. As a nutrient-rich snack, they support a balanced diet.
Almonds are very 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. They are processed by Silk Road Organik Foods, the first Fairtrade-certified processor in Central Asia. All steps - from cracking, blanching and peeling - take place entirely in Uzbekistan.
Silk Road Organik Foods works with two small farmers' co-operatives that support around 1000 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 favours direct trade without middlemen. In addition to paying the Fairtrade premium, the harvests of the 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
