Before using them for baking or cooking, you can soften fruit that has hardened by placing it in some hot water for a few minutes.

COULIBALY WANZA DJOUMA
FARMER FROM TOUSSIANA, BURKINA FASO
Chemicals lead to diseases. That's why I'm an organic farmer.
"Sometimes our harvest is not enough to cover our own food needs. But you have to look at the positive: as a farmer, you are mostly independent," says Coulibaly Wanza Djouma. She currently works about 10 hectares of land, which is too little, according to her. "I want to become a big mango and cashew producer in the region. And all organic! Growing fruits and nuts organically is better for the environment and our own health. In fact, if I could do any other job, I would become an agronomist!"
