DEPARTURE SEPTEMBER 19, 2022: For a few years now, we have been buying from time to time a fruit pallet directly from Rufino, a raw food lover and producer passionate about tropical fruits in Malaga, Spain. Rufino is a real character, all year round he makes us drool over by sending us on WhatsApp pictures of his trees planted in the plain and on the mountainside and also pictures of the wonderful fruits he harvests.

We tested this other variety of mangoes and they are so delicious that we decided with Aurélie to set up the logistics to be able to offer them to you in presale until Tuesday, November 30 at 6 p.m.

Indeed, although it has a very sweet taste, mango has a low glycemic index. This is around 50, and consumption of mango therefore has no effect on blood sugar levels.
