  • Resumen

  • In this episode, host David Crowley from Cooking Chat talks with local entrepreneur, Joshua Reed-Diawuoh, about his business that focuses on importing cashews from small, sustainable producers in West Africa. He then prepares them to sell as tasty, healthy snacks.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • How Josh's visits to West Africa inspired the creation of GRIA Food Co.
    • Why the typical business model of large food importers don't lead to a sustainable living for local farmers in Africa.
    • Josh's approach to identifying small producers of cashews in West Africa that use sustainable practices.
    • The variety of cashew snack flavors that GRIA Food Co. offers.
    • Nutritional benefits of snacking on cashews.
    • Where you can purchase GRIA Food Co. snacks in the Boston area and online.
    • How Commonwealth Kitchen supports local food entrepreneurs like Josh, as part of their mission to promote equity and inclusive entrepreneurship. 
    • Information on the Fairtrade standard.

    While the cashews come from Africa, far away from us here in Boston, this episode picks up on themes we cover on Cooking Chat such as sustainability and supporting small farmers and food entrepreneurs.
