'I have really enjoyed Nora Kagimu's banana chips, not least because she is from Mbarara where I spent five happy years teaching at the High School'

'I just wanted to thank you for what you are doing and to say how absolutely delicious it is to open one of your packs of mango pieces. The smell is wonderful - so fresh and fruity. I can actually feel this beautiful fruit doing me good. Thank you!'

'I have just bought and enjoyed greatly my first bag of your dried fruit (pineapple). When I saw your products on the shelf in a local grocer's I felt a surge of positive energy (I'm a sensitive gal) and reading about your products on the packet and about some of the people in Uganda who contributed to my enjoyment of the pineapples made my heart sing'.

Just wanted to drop you a quick email to let you know how much I enjoy your organic dates. They are a great healthy snack, and taste so fantastic!!

'When I was in the UK in may I tasted some of the dried apricots from the Hunza Valley. They were sensational! So sweet and easy to eat'.

'I enjoy long distance walking/running/camping and find your Snack Packs ideal for my events. One of those and a bottle of water keeps me fed/content for the day. I'm going to Holland for the Nijmegen 4 Day Marches and will certainly have some with me then. The texture/taste suits me much better than some of the other mixes that I've tried. I will 'pass the word' to anyone that asks me about what I'm eating!'

'I bought some apricot kernels in Wells in Somerset. They were lovely. I have bought these else where, but yours were the best'.

'The vanilla is exceptional!'

'I've given a couple of bags of fruit to a friend who has just given birth to her second child, if she needs extra energy with a baby and toddler to run round after, then the dried fruit is a far better idea than coffee or sugary snacks... it so wonderful to find some one supplying dried fruit without chemicals and at prices we can afford...It would not do any harm for tropical wholefoods to conquer the world!'

'It is so good to be able to buy the mango and the tropical mix without any added sugar -- and to know that they are 'organic fair trade' too. I will be recommending them to others'
R Elliot 25/10/06

'I am very keen on your 'sun dried pineapple,' I would eat it all the time if I could!'

'If only more people like yourselves were to think in such a good and logical way - there would be enough resources and food for all the world and room left for nature & wild animals as intended. Well done.

'Tropical Wholefoods - Congratulations - a true dried food not pumped up with water - how honest. But best of all the taste - mango is lovely, grandchildren pinch it & I'll have to get some more!'

'I have just bought my first packet of dried mango and experienced a lovely taste explosion on sampling a piece'
J Swayne 31/3/06

'I recently visited my local Oxfam to donate, whilst there I noticed a stand with a selection of your products - and thought I'd try a few. I was extremely surprised - they were moreish- and tastier than the fruits I buy from my local health food store. I'm hooked!!! - It is also good to read that your products are 'fairly traded' - so the growers make more profits - good for you!
L Cooper 2/3/06

'Your organic dried mango is one of my favourite foods... my little brother and sister love your products and so do I. I have a piece or two every day before school. I was hoping you could give me more information about how your product is made and how it gets from a tree in Burkino Faso to my house in London.'
