Zimbabwean brand Glytime Foods just proved a point: local value addition wins.

In a UK sensory test using IFST standards, conducted in London,its Peanut Butter Granola scored 8/9, beating established products (7/9 and 6/9).

Standout strengths:
• Rich roasted peanut aroma
• Balanced sweetness
• Crunchy clusters that hold in yogurt
• Clean aftertaste

Beyond taste, it reflects a bigger shift—turning Zimbabwean groundnuts into premium, export-ready products instead of raw commodities.

Short ingredient list, plant-based, high fibre, gluten-free—right in line with global demand.

Zimbabwe can compete. And win.
