100+ years of expertise
Our Dried Pineapple powder sales supports the traditional livelihoods of villagers in the dry regions of Sri Lanka where pineapples grow abundantly and are harvested by traditional regenerative methods. This allows village populations to utilize their age-old knowledge and expertise to survive in this modernized and mechanized world of manufacture by producing this 100% natural unrefined product. Backed by generations of expertise of the harvesters, and packed in a certified ISO and Organic processing mill, this product plays a vital role in the employment, welfare, and wellbeing of the rural village community. The children of our workforce are provided with school books and stationery for the entire school year. The mill also organizes religious and cultural events to inculcate a sense of belonging to a bigger cause, bringing a sense of pride and community to the villagers who are using age-old knowledge, treading lightly, and making a living for their families, sustainably.
Price for quality
Our products are not mass-produced in vast industrialised factories. So we do not enjoy the economies of scale that supermarket brands do. We pay the millers and farmers a fair price. Specifically, batch-crafted for New Zealand, Kokonati & Heirloom products are made with multigenerational expertise and knowledge to be the best quality they can be and so easily justify the premium price for the premium quality you are getting.
Packaging and recycling
200g bag. Dispose of the soft plastic bag in the supermarket collection bin. The reason we use a clear front and aluminum-backing bag for fruit flour is so you can see the product in the clear window before you buy it and because the product potency is preserved without exposure to air or moisture.
Possible precautions: Pineapple is considered safe for most people. That said, bromelain, an enzyme naturally found in pineapple, may enhance the absorption of certain drugs, especially antibiotics and blood thinners. Some people may experience or heartburn or reflux if digestive issues exist. It is advisable to consult your healthcare provider or registered dietitian to make sure it’s safe to consume pineapple alongside, any prescription medication or for any other therapeutic uses.
