[No food additives] [No sugar used]
A natural dried fruit with a rich flavor and nutrition nurtured by the land of Africa.
Many people are surprised by the deliciousness, which is completely different from the dried fruits they have eaten so far.
〖Carefully selected only fruits that do not use pesticides and chemical fertilizers〗
All of the raw materials are grown naturally without using pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
Mangoes and pineapples are certified organic in the EU and Africa, and bananas, mulberries, and strawberries are grown in natural conditions close to the wild. (It is difficult to obtain organic certification because it is too wild.)
〖No added sugar or additives, natural deliciousness〗
It does not use any additives such as bleach or preservatives that are commonly used in dried fruits. The harvested fruit is simply cut and dried as it is, without adding sugar or syrup, so you can enjoy the original taste, aroma, and sweetness of the fruit.
〖Ideal for children's snacks〗
Since no preservatives are used, it is dried thoroughly. Therefore, the aroma and sweetness are condensed, giving it a rich taste. The chewy texture is also popular. They chew and eat well, making them a great snack for children.
◆Supporting African farmers with fair trade◆
Africa is very far from Japan. As a familiar country, we may not have many opportunities to be aware of it, but we have various problems such as the economy, politics, and human rights.
Poverty and exploitation are also serious problems in agriculture. Another major issue for fruit farmers was that due to the concentration of the harvest season, they were unable to sell everything and let it rot, and the crops they had grown did not lead to income. In the hope of eliminating waste by drying these surplus products, the production of dried fruits began. We add value by making processed products, and we also support farmers' income improvement by conducting fair trade at fair prices.
◆ Natural Dried Fruit Birth Story ◆
When Mamma Naturals' representative Arai was on a backpacking trip around the world, he saw a scene in Africa that led to the commercialization of dried fruits. In the African countryside I visited, I was shocked by the shocking facts of the colonial era, such as the unstable politics, extreme poverty, and women who were forced to work like slaves.
A few years later, I happened to encounter African dried fruits in Japan and was impressed by their deliciousness, which is completely additive-free and does not even use sugar. In the hope that it would be an opportunity for African people to become economically independent and women to be saved, we decided to commercialize it at Mamma Naturals.

〖Use of bioplastics〗
The bags are made of bioplastic made in Japan. Compared to petroleum-based products, CO2 emissions can be reduced by about 25%.
While plastics cause a variety of environmental problems, they also have many advantages. Rather than eliminating it from the world, we believe that it is necessary to "change to plant-based" and "reduce the amount of use and use it carefully".
〖Aiming for a chemical substance-free period〗
The label is chemical-free, no adhesive stickers, and unbleached kraft paper is stapled. It is easy to separate and recycle without having to peel it off.
After use, we ask for your cooperation in recycling.
