No, the reason why they no longer can sell it is because they’re quality control mangos, they cut them open to make sure they are good, and that refers to the whole batch. Problem is as soon as you cut them, the Dutch fda no longer allows you to sell them. Just like the American fda. They’re essentially a waste product to ensure the rest is fine. Size, shape, interior wise. These guys are just taking a waste product from one industry and making another

It's in every companies best interest to do so as it will cost less than paying someone to dump it into a pit. The reason why food goes to waste isn't purely corporate greed, it's the long ass transportation time that would be necessary to transport it to somewhere more useful. That causes more pollution and is ironically more harmful than dumping it into a pit. If it was the easy solution everyone would be doing it.

If the mangoes are not rotten, they are still edible. They can be made into mango bars aka aamsotto, a very tasty snack popular in Indian subcontinent. When the season's almost over and there are some mangoes that look like they are not going to survive the stress of transportation and storing they are squeezed out, cooked with a little sugar and some spices and then spread out in layers under the sun or near the oven to dry. It's very tasty and you can eat it throughout the rest of the year, till the next summer, until you get a fresh batch. Food, unless it is rotten and totally unusable should be left for eating. Seems like a waste of all these still edible mangoes (food usually are still edible after the exp date).

Almost all the mangoes shown look perfectly edible, including many at the end of the video. My question is: is the process effective and even possible with truly inedible fruit? How energy-efficient is this process? Are the chemicals added to the pulp ecologically-friendly? Are they derived from oil? After shelf-life mangoes can be turned into animal food or fertiliser and return to the food production chain. Without more details, this just looks like food waste. As mentioned in the article, cattle production is not primarily driven by leather production. As long as we eat meat, there will be leather and it makes no sense not to use it.

It's more that as batches are different (different harvest day, origin facility, processing plant) they need a sample.

To follow up on this, when done responsibly (avoiding wasting as much as possible, not over-importing and properly storing the goods), this sampling process will save food over the long run, as a contaminated batch could easily infect more food during its time in the supply chain.

Serious question: Does the leather taste like mango?

You probably shouldn't eat since it is coated with resins ;)

The thing about leather is that it's basically a byproduct of food production. Cattle production has become so efficient literally nothing goes to waste.

Yeah I like how people want to go back to the time where you needed 1 cow for beef, 1 for leather, and 1 for the organs.

As long as we eat meat we will have good leather.. ✌

Not all leather comes dairy or beef cows though. Different or younger cows are used for high end leather.

Wow, I didn’t know mango can make leather. That’s interesting.

@shavedwolf87 3 жыл бұрын

You can’t. Mangoes cannot magically become leather just because two guys learned to form it into a sheet and make a purse out of it.

@@shavedwolf87 Exaclty. And let's put "vegan" in front it. Maybe we can trick people into thinking it's good for you and the environment. The matter of fact is, it's the higly toxic resins that make the "leather". The mango's are just filler.

It can. You put the mango´s in the front side of a calf, so it expands into a cow. You get leather, meat, glue, milk, hairs, new calfs.. Another Dutch startup makes clothes from cow poo fibers, which is more promising since cotton production is quite pollutive.

You really wanted to say that, eh? One of many angry rebels that will put a fight on the internet with anyone and over anything. Well, good luck with that because you're not going to have that opportunity here. Noone said anything about animals so you can piss off.
