Mosaic Grove Founder Dr. Kaadze Wright left Ghana at 17 years old, but she never forgot the poverty in rural parts of the country. In 2018, spurred by projections that Africa's working age population would increase to 1.1 billion by 2035; Kaadze knew action had to be taken immediately to create jobs and provide food for the future. Within the year, she broke ground on a 100-acre organic cashew farm in Ghana as a way to support the local women who are often responsible for farming. Today, 20 acres of that farm have been cultivated and the first cashew crop will be harvested in 2022. But Kaadze hasn’t stopped there. This year, she started the only tiger nut cooperative farm in Ghana in the eastern region of Kwahu. Mosaic Grove will launch a line of tiger nut products including a plant-based milk, frozen dessert, and baked goods by the end of 2021.
Mosaic Grove’s naturally gluten-free cashews and tiger nuts are grown without chemical fertilizers or pesticides, which is better for the environment and the quality of the crop, too.
Through both cashew and tiger nut farming in Ghana, Mosaic Grove is providing much-needed jobs for women in rural areas of the country–and will share part of the sales proceeds, as well.
Mosaic Grove organic cashews and tiger nuts are an easy – and delicious – way to improve your own health while also giving back to the people of Ghana.
Unlike cashews, tiger nuts are not nuts at all. They are tubers, like beets, carrots, and sweet potatoes. Both cashews and tiger nuts are nutrient-dense with high levels of iron and potassium. They've been shown to help control blood pressure and promote a healthy digestive system.
Never heard of tiger nuts? You’re not alone, the origin of tiger nuts date back hundreds of years. And don’t be fooled by their small size. High in fiber and a rich source of antioxidants, tiger nuts pack a serious nutritional punch and can help keep blood sugar levels in check and boost immunity.
Even better, when you purchase Mosaic Grove cashews and tiger nuts, you are helping to shape the future of an entire country.
