The event
Cocoa fruit pulp remained largely unused for a long time. However, its taste has convinced chefs for many years, and in recent years, it has become increasingly popular in the industry – especially due to its natural sweetening and health properties, along with its sustainable impact and amazing product story. Cocoa fruit pulp’s natural sweetness makes it possible to completely eliminate artificial sweeteners and refined sugar, allowing you to create a beverage with a simplified ingredients list and low sugar content – ideal for consumers seeking clean labels and exciting flavours. Rich in potassium, magnesium, and manganese, this ingredient supports important functions in the body and contribute to a healthy and conscious diet. Cocoa fruit pulp also positively impacts people and the planet. Smallscale cocoa farmers in Ghana now receive an extra income stream from the pulp, which they use to expand their businesses, pay school fees, or save to build a house. By upcycling a part of the fruit that is normally overlooked, we help the planet by ensuring that nothing is wasted. For consumers, this is a win/win/win.
