Inside the shell of every nut is a realm of possibility. A vital connection to the world. Something good about to happen.
Caro Nut is a global organization of teams, each one specializing in bringing forth the potential of a single, difficult-to-produce nut. We see these nuts as powerhouses of resourcefulness both for the communities that grow them and in solving regional and global environmental challenges. Nuts contain powerful, sustainable energy to do good in the world. Our activities include: serving as a bridge for capital to reach communities that need tools and infrastructure to harvest and process their crops; supplying purchasing contracts; finding markets for the nuts harvested; and facilitating communication and collaboration between communities otherwise isolated from one another by national, political or geographic borders. Our work is necessarily done in partnership with individuals, communities and organizations. We also develop traceability technology to put growers and consumers in touch. So everyone can be supported in the intention and effort to contribute solutions to global challenges. For the synergy between consumers and producers to grow.
Our ancestors knew a lot more than us. They knew what the best class of Almetry was, and the right place to plant it. They were right. The Marcona Almans have always been here. They're native to these lands. I don't know why, but maybe the distributors or retailers were to blame. In any case, Marconas were being sold for a premi And because of this, growers were forced to try growing different varieties. We've tried all sorts of foreign varieties. At first, they were very good, but in the end, you realize that the overall best variety is the native variety from this land. If you taste a Marcona, you always know it's a Marcona. It's a unique variety. It's the best of Almetry's. My wife loves to fry them. She peels them in hot water, fries them in a pan, and adds just the right amount of salt. If you travel through the villages around here, everything you find about baking is based on almonds. Growers know that we care for Marconas and we recognize the value. Now the growers are getting more for the Marconas, and that's why they are changing the common variety back to the native Marcona variety. We feel so lucky that now we get to sell the Marconas, and this gives us hope. My dream is that people demand products that come from the land, the kind that need daily care as opposed to processed foods, natural products from the land. If you work hard, you're going to make it.
