August 2014

It is already the latter part of August. Where did the days go? Oh well, it doesnt matter because we have continued to work even with the electricity power cuts, because our dryer and our products do not rely on electricity. 

They need the sun, its energy and its heat. 

And that we have had plenty of. 

And it is free. 

So we have dried the luscious khashaby pears, the juicy barshoomey figs, some watermelon, raisins of all colors and sizes, tomatoes, lemon grass, bay leaf and the MANGO!

We tested a new variety of mango called "ananas". It dried beautifully, keeping a wonderful orange color and a flavor to die for. We also dried some hendi mango which dried nicely, if a little darker than ananas. We are continuing to dry mangoes and hope to have a large enough supply this year to last the entire year.

We want to thank the Lemon Tree for putting Minnie's products on their menus at the Sahel. I hear that Lemon Tree at Marassi was a great hit and I personally loved the Beach Bar at Telal. In Sesaon in Zamalek, also uses some of our products. And soon more restaurants in Zamalek will be carrying our products and using them in their menus. I will keep you posted as they open.

Dont forget that the Bioshop in Zamalek carries our range of products, so does its sister store in Degla Maadi. 

You can also find us on line at NGS (ngs-egypt.com) and Offah.com

Have a great end of summer and looking forward to seeing you at the farmer's markets once they resume in September.
