Premium organic superfoods
from East Africa for healthy lifestyle
Mama Asili provides top quality organic superfoods nurtured in the fertile embrace of East Africa.
Our products are mainly grown on small-scale farms by female farmers as part of an initiative aimed at fostering economic opportunities for growers through offering them above-market prices for their produce.
Mama Asili’s organic golden berries are known for their exquisite, naturally sweet flavor. Packed with antioxidants, minerals and fiber, they are a gateway to a healthier lifestyle and sustainable wellness.
Mission
Mama Asili – “Mother Nature” in Swahili – is committed to transforming the life conditions of female farmers in East Africa’s rural landscape by helping them to avoid poverty and adapt to climate change by offering them agribusiness opportunities and fair wages. We are focused on empowering women farmers by assisting them to grow crops which will generate higher prices and improved yields.
We strive to provide our clients with the best organic superfoods available as part of our overall mission of promoting healthy nutrition.
Our Story
Smallholder women framers in East Africa’s heartland face challenges arising from climate change, which have led to reduced productivity and profitability from conventional crops.
Traditionally relying on producing labor-intensive crops such as coffee and tea, these small family farmers have been held back from improving their economic positions and quality of life. In order to offer them a brighter future, Mama Asili supports women farmers in the transition to alternative high-yield crops for sustainable economic growth. We train them, provide them with quality seedlings and supervise them from day one––making sure that they are using our organic methods.
East Africa, with its abundance of good soil, water and ideal weather conditions, offers optimal growing conditions for a wide variety of superfoods such as ginger, rosemary, sweet potato, lemongrass, passionfruit, and many more.
By partnering with us, you can contribute to empowering women farmers and promoting sustainable agriculture.
Golden Berries
Also known as Inca berry and cape gooseberry, golden berries have achieved fame for their impressive nutrient profile and health benefits. They are rich in fiber, vitamins A and C, protein and iron, all known to promote bone health, improve vision, and boost immunity.
Mama Asili’s golden berries are grown organically in the fertile soil of Mount Kenya by local communities. Our sweet, tropical-tasting golden berries can be eaten as snack or used in salads, sauces and jams. They are an excellent ingredient for low calorie and dietetic products and can serve as a natural aid for weight loss by providing increased energy, a boosted metabolism and fat=burning support.
Our fully organic golden berries are offered as a fresh product or dried, with a shelf life of up to two years or more. All our produce is grown using our own mixture of organic fertilizer and biological pest control.
Our commitment to purity is evident in our solar-dried golden berries, free of added sugar, preservatives, or artificial coloring.
