Home » Our Approach
On average, up to 70% of the cacao fruit, the coffee fruit and the cashew apple is considered waste in the conventional processing of cocoa, coffee and cashew. In the case of cocoa, until three years ago, particularly in Europe, where chocolate is consumed in large quantities, only the beans – the core ingredient for chocolate – were used.Â
Our AFOODS founder was one of the firsts to show that cacao can be used for more than just chocolate. In the case of cashew and coffee, only the kernels are processed, which means that cashew and coffee pulp, including the hulls, are usually left in the fields as waste.
However, this so-called ‘waste’ is actually full of nutrients. Cocoa shells, for example, contain vitamin B12 and are rich in antioxidants, and cashew apples contain five times more vitamin C than orange juice. By combining indigenous resources with an ingenious concept, innovative processes and a lot of passion and tenacity, we have created a revolutionary approach to maximising the value of cocoa, coffee and cashew raw materials while protecting people, nature and the environment. AFOODS’Approach empower us to feed three birds with one scone.Â
