Peanuts are almost like a staple food in Africa! Why? They are rich in protein, healthy fats and of course a great base for sauces and soups. As a snack, our traditionally hand-roasted nuts without added salt are a healthy alternative to chips & co. Take them with you on mountain tours and adventures, they give you the kick of extra energy when you need it!

Climate Nuts peanuts are grown among the trees of the forest gardens, processed by hand and roasted traditionally over the fire. Forest gardens are mixed crops of trees, shrubs and crops. They sequester CO2, enrich soils, provide good harvests and a healthy water balance. They provide shelter for wildlife, increase biodiversity, and lower temperatures in hot countries.

It was a chance encounter. Fudi, one of the farmers in Sierra Leone was having lunch and eating boiled cassava roots, also known as cassava. He always dipped these in a mixture of spices. He gave us a small portion to try and we loved it! And he told us the recipe: sesame seeds are washed, dried in the sun and then roasted. In the typical African large mortar, the sesame is processed together with salt and chili to an incomparably delicious, fiery hot mixture.

"Benin," by the way, does not mean the West African country, but is the word for sesame in the indigenous Temne language of northern Sierra Leone. By buying our Benin Firemix you support the processing of agricultural products and create a source of income for small farmers.

It's hard to believe, but bamboo is a grass, not a tree. Our bamboo poles grow wild among the trees and they grow back faster than they can be harvested. No wonder, since the actual plant grows underground as a widely branched root system. From this the "culms" grow up again and again. Our bamboo poles are 5 to 6 meters long and have a diameter of 8 - 12 centimeters.
