Welcome to our family table
where generations of passion and dedication come together to bring the vibrant flavors of Ecuador to your kitchen.
Our story began three generations ago
Rooted in a commitment to sharing the unique fruits and vegetables of Ecuador with families across the U.S. Every dragon fruit, plantain, and malanga we deliver speaks to the heritage of our homeland and the care passed down through the years.
For those who may be unfamiliar with these incredible ingredients, we’re here to guide you. Dragon fruit, with its vivid color and subtle sweetness, is perfect for creating refreshing smoothies or vibrant bowls. Plantains are a versatile staple, whether fried to golden perfection or baked for a naturally sweet twist. And malanga, a nutrient-dense treasure, lends itself beautifully to fritters or hearty side dishes.
Our mission is to invite you to discover the beauty and richness of these foods while inspiring a sense of adventure in your cooking.
Whether you’re whipping up a family meal or exploring new flavors for the very first time, these recipes are crafted to bring joy, nourishment, and a little bit of Ecuadorian tradition to your home. We can’t wait to be a part of your culinary journey. Welcome to our family!
