Upcycling organic mango seeds into functional ingredients
Meet Mangolade, an EIT Food startup from Germany who are helping to cut food waste by upcycling organic mango seeds that would usually go to waste. These are then turned into sustainable and functional ingredients.
1) What is your idea?
“At Mangolade, we upcycle mango seeds—a resource often considered waste—into a high-value alternative to cocoa butter. Our goal is to create a sustainable chocolate product that not only tastes delicious but also contributes to reducing food waste and conserving resources.”
2) Where can we find your products?
“We are currently working on scaling our production and will soon be launching our products in select markets. For updates, keep an eye on our website and social media channels.”
3) How has EIT Food helped you on your journey?
“Through EIT Food's program, we’ve had access to valuable mentorship, industry connections, and funding that have enabled us to refine our product and business model. The support has been a game-changer in getting Mangolade closer to market readiness!”
