Frangipani tree starters!

P.S. We welcome your feedback and ideas as we strive to create impactful snacks you will love from climate-friendly crops sourced from small-scale female farmers!

🌸🪴We will have Frangipani (Plumeria sp.) tree starters available this weekend at the Mint Market. These beautiful, fragrant garden trees are fast and easy growing. The starters can be planted directly into the ground or grown in a pot. As new branches grow, they can be cut off to encourage new growth and you can plant the cut off branch to start a new tree!

🍵 Do you love porridge/koko/”Tom Brown” for breakfast or a snack or quick meal? Have you tried our Yaa Green Porridge yet?? If not, time to give it a try!😋

Our mix of Bambara beans🫘, pearl millet, and sorghum🌾 has an amazing taste and is more filling than average “Tom Browns” on the market due to the low glycemic properties of all of the ingredients. This makes it a great meal choice for weight loss and maintaining blood sugar levels. The flavor blend means milk is not necessary and less sweetener is needed. We love it with just a dribble of flavored honey. Did we mention it’s also a good source of protein and gluten-free, too?🌟

🌿Give Yaa Green Porridge Mix a try and let us know what you think! Pick some up at one of our Saturday markets this month or at our partner health food shops in Accra.

🌴We will be at the Tropical Market🍃 at Meridian Apartments, Airport Residential, Accra this Saturday, 9 September 2023! 10am - 5pm. We look forward to meeting fellow health and wellness enthusiasts, our products are right up your alley!💪

"Bambara bean biscuits" and sobolo (hibiscus juice), the perfect lakeside snack while relaxing in at or wherever else your journey will take you💙🌿

🫘Bambara beans (Vigna subterranea) are an environmentally friendly crop indigenous to West Africa and typically grown by women farmers. They provide a long list of health and environmental benefits, including that they are a complete and good source of protein; contain fiber, potassium, iron, zinc, and magnesium; and fix nitrogen, improving soil health. They taste great, too, and go perfectly in all soups and stews. You can read more about their qualities and benefits here: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnut.2020.601496/full

Not a bean eater? No worries. We have options for you to still enjoy the benefits of this amazing superfood. Try our Yaa Green Baking Flour Blend, Yaa Green Porridge Mix, or our biscuits made with the amazing Bambara beans combined with millets.
