It takes a village, it takes a community. We don't do this alone. Crespo Organic Mangoes would not exist and be so successful without every single person, without the land, madre tierra Mexico, that every single tree grows from.

Recipe inspiration from the Crespo Organic Kitchen!
Mole Coloradito is one of the 7 moles of Oaxaca. It typically features dried red chilies and tomatoes as well as regional spices, seeds and nuts, depending on the micro-region.
This version sweetens the normally spicy dish with the addition of charred carrots and fresh mango puree. It's excellent poured over shredded chicken, or enchiladas, or used as a sauce for braised meats.

Mouthwatering!

Each off-season we clean up the orchards, clearing clippings and other organic debris.
It also helps cultivate the soil around the trees, prepping them for maximum fertilizer and water intake, which is super important for a beautiful mango season!

Legend has it that the Buddha found peace & tranquility for meditation under the cool shade of the mango tree.

We 100% believe it.

Nissa uses the #CutandSliceMethod for a new #CrespoOrganicKitchen #recipe that calls for chopped #mango 🥭

Everyone always asked how to get the mango flesh from the pit and she shows you some of that here too!

#WeAreTheMangoExperts

From Nissa (@picoypero ) I got invited for dinner so I’m not going live, but I never let anyone down (just as my nieces and nephews)

Here is the #Mexican #Mango Caramel Corn in the making as promised.

#recipe will be up, #UnderTheMangoTree by Sunday!
This one uses my #Vegan Mango Caramel - aka single ingredient caramel - just mangoes cooked down. I have a one with cream, butter and sugar and Mango Dulce De Leche … find them under the mango tree- Mango Caramel 3 Ways…..

Things we're dreaming about in the off-season...
That moment when the perfect blush emerges on the mangoes hanging on the tree...
The energy and vitality of our packing house in full swing once the season hits...
Our new dried mangoes getting ready to hit the shelves of stores...

Why, what do you dream about during the holidays???

FRIDAYNIGHT LIVE- RECIPE TESTING with Nissa!

A few years back our #mango crackerjack @picoypero head of the #CrespoORganicKitchen came up with a #geniusrecipe —#MangoCaramel

Since Caramel is essentially the heating of sugar so that the molecules breakdown and reform, both in shape and color, and hence, flavor- why wouldn’t mangoes (specifically mango puree) which are naturally rich in sugar- cooked down and caramelized make- caramel, she thought?

So Nissa tried this idea and guess what? It worked and her Vegan single Ingredient Mango Caramel has become the basis for many of our #recipes

NO SUGAR ADDED!!

This Friday night join her live on Instagram and watch while she tests (again) not just the Vegan Mango Caramel but makes a new #recipe for the first time

(vegan) Mexican Mango Caramel Popcorn!

7 PM Central Standard Time – here at #CrespoOrganic

Head under the Mango Tree (Mango Caramel 3 Ways) and find our recipes and tips on Salted Mango Caramel, Vegan Mango Caramel & Mango Dulce de Leche

Remember certified organic means non gmo so she’s using organic popping corn- non gmo!

Did you see Armando Arias - Best Produce Merchandiser UNFI (Denver) and @crespoorganic #mangoes 🥭🇲🇽 in the blaster issue of the @packernews

For us to get such juicy fruit during Mexico's mango season, a lot of work happens in the off-season. Fertilization is a crucial project, and has to be done at just the right timing! Without our expertise, we wouldn't get the gorgeous high quality fruit that is the star of this pic.
I'm not blushing, you're blushing. 😘

Happy Dia de los Muertos, from all of us here at Crespo! #DiadelosMuertos #VivaMexico

#DiaDeMuertos 🇲🇽

#happyhalloween🎃

If you haven't set up your alters yet for tomorrow's return, there is still time, let this serve as a reminder~!

During “Día de Muertos” it is believed that the spirit of our loved ones return to Earth to celebrate and love alongside us. Altars (“ofrendas”) are placed everywhere: in towns, businesses and homes – luring the spirits back home. Water, for the long journey back, food – especially dishes that were preferred by the departed, family photos, trinkets and toys to delight the spirits of the little niños who have passed and will return for these two days. A candle for each of the departed is placed on the altar. Flowers, especially the symbolic marigold, are laid generously around the altar and worship area; they are said to guide the spirits back.

Traditionally, incense of the Copal tree is burned and said to purify the energy around the altar. Poems, writings and humorous stories are often placed at the alter. Sugar skulls represent a specific departed soul and are often added to the altar or on the gravestone decorated with big happy smiles, colorfully adorned, with lots of glitter and shine: they honor and celebrate the lost souls rebirthed into the next stage of life.

The most important energy of “Día de Muertos” is to love and respect our departed souls, by celebrating the joy of life today. And for Mexicans, there is no better way to do this than through an explosion of color and vibrancy. Parties brimming with songs and dance and entire communities packing into the local zócalos (local plazas) and cemeteries, and spilling into the streets. People decorate themselves with elaborate make up representing the beauty of the spirits passed. The energy of these celebrations is anything but mournful, which remains in tune with the original Nahuas’ ideas.

It’s a feast for the senses that reminds us that we are alive.
