You’re sitting in front of your breakfast bowl in the morning and thinking to yourself: How about some more colour? For that ‘Insta-worthy’ look, many foodies reach for a very specific powder: spirulina. This algae adds an intense sea-blue or rich green hue to your creations. But there’s much more to this algae than just a pretty natural colouring agent. We’ll unravel the mystery surrounding the different varieties, take a brief trip back to the Aztecs, and show you why we celebrate this algae here at KoRo.

Flatmates who finish your snacks while you are away? Friends who say they are not hungry but then ask you to take one, two or three bites from your food? That’s usually enough to put us into defence mode. But this summer, we’re making an exception. Because relaxed evenings in the park, major football events and road trips with your favourite people are all about togetherness. To make sure you don’t turn up empty-handed (or worse still: with boring snacks), we’ve put together five scenarios and the absolutely perfect KoRo matches for you. So: open your bag and start sharing!

Green smoothies have long been on the menu at your favourite café, and spinach is even finding its way into smoothies at home. Green drinks and bowls have long been part of our daily lives – but what exactly lies behind terms like ‘superfood’ or ‘green powders’, and how do the different powders differ from one another?

Out of the Berlin office and into the jungle! Our Head of Sustainability Christina, our CEO Flo and sourcing expert Angie have set off for Peru. The aim: not just to manage our Fairtrade cocoa supply chain, but to see, smell and taste it at its source. Curious to know what we experienced there? Read on to find out!

There's a sense of anticipation you feel the moment you step through the door. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee. The familiar clink of nut butter jars. The gentle murmur of other guests. That’s what the KoRo Cafés are all about. In Berlin, Paris and Milan, alongside creative culinary highlights, we serve one thing above all else: a hands-on KoRo experience and a haven for all foodies. Come on in, grab a creamy KoRoccino and treat yourself to a moment just for you. Our doors are open!

Let’s talk fibre. It's an often neglected part of our diet which has finally been gaining attention recently. In this guide, we want to explain what it’s all about, how to meet your daily requirements, and which products are essential in your pantry. It includes handy tables listing fibre-rich foods for your next KoRo order!

Açai bowls are literally on everyone's lips. Every Instagrammer is celebrating this breakfast on their account. In this article, we tell you about the berry that is celebrated as a superfood.

Let’s be honest: when you think of protein products, what comes to mind? A mountain of dry chicken breast? A shaker that smells like a vanilla-scented lab? Or perhaps that classic cottage cheese that you've had a thousand times already?

Reducing plastic use is an important step – but where plastic is unavoidable, it’s just as crucial to keep it in the cycle. Here at KoRo, we’ve spent a long time tinkering, repurposing gym weights and enlarging labels to improve the recyclability of our Doypacks. Find out here why paper isn’t always the solution, what ‘mono-material’ actually means, and what gym weights have to do with anything.

Sweet, salty, sour, bitter — everyone knows these flavour profiles. But did you know there is a fifth dimension to flavour that is often overlooked? We’re talking about the umami flavor. We’ll not only explain the science behind the umami taste, but also show you how to take your pantry to the next umami level with real high-protein and high-fiber heroes. Spoiler: Your taste buds will be amazed.

E numbers?! When you look at packaging labels, you often see more hieroglyphics than ingredients you recognise. Do codes like E 440 or E 322 on the label remind you more of a chemistry lab than a tasty snack? You're not alone! But don't panic, we've got you covered. We're here to demystify the mystery of E numbers. Additives (sometimes) make sense! They're often not as bad as their reputation, because many of these substances are natural and essential for food safety.

Have you always been curious about where KoRo products come from? And by ‘where they come from’ we don’t mean the courier that delivers them to you, but how they are envisioned and created. Spoiler alert: the process takes a lot of time and many big decisions.

It's time for a KoRo history lesson, because we're turning 12 years old! And all we can say is: we've had a few gray hairs, but we've stayed young and wild and grown a lot over the years. There's been a lot going on!
