Aladey fries are made from Surinamese cassava instead of potato: crisp outside, soft and creamy inside, with a firm bite that stands up to any topping.
Our new cassava range starts with cassava grown right here in Suriname by Power Crops, then prepared and packed by Foodlab in Paramaribo. Two frozen products, one local root — made for busy kitchens, retail shelves, and everyday meals.

Why the new range
Not just another fry
This is not a potato with a different name. Cassava is a bolder root, raised on Surinamese soil, and it rewrites what a fry can be: how it bites, how fast it cooks and who gets to enjoy it.
Crisp to the last fry.
The bite stays firm under sauce and toppings, long after a potato fry gives up.
Ready within minutes
They go straight from the freezer to the air fryer, with nothing to peel and nothing to soak.
Gluten Free
Made from cassava, a naturally gluten-free root. A simple, plant-based choice that fits effortlessly into a variety of lifestyles.
From root to plate
A Caribbean staple, completely reimagined.
Rooted in generations of tradition, our cassava takes on a new form — sliced, seasoned, and fried to golden perfection.

Our story
Adding value to what Suriname already grows.
Foodlab turns raw materials from its sister and partner companies into finished consumer products — pasta from local flour, fries and chunks from local cassava.
2016Foodlab established
2021first local pasta
2ranges, one plant
01 — Origin
Established in 2016
Foodlab N.V. was founded in 2016 as an innovative production unit within the BIG WILL Group, dedicated to strengthening the Surinamese food industry by adding premium value to local raw materials.
02 — The name
Ala dey — every day
The name Aladey comes from how often this food is eaten. Pasta is such a staple on the Surinamese table that it appears ala dey — every day. The cassava range carries the same name for the same reason.
03 — The raw material
Two local supply lines
Flour comes from De Molen, Suriname's only wheat mill and our sister company on the same street. Cassava comes from Power Crops N.V., grown on Surinamese soil. Neither crosses an ocean to reach us.
04 — The point
Fresh, affordable, local
By building on homegrown resources rather than imports, Foodlab keeps products fresh and affordable — and makes a substantial contribution to the national economy while doing it.
Vertical integration
Grown here, made here, eaten here.
01Grown & milled locallyThe cassava comes from Power Crops and the wheat flour from our sister company De Molen.
02Foodlab adds the valuePasta is extruded and dried; cassava is cut and pre-cooked.
03Packed in ParamariboEverything is sealed on Bowlingstraat, then frozen at −18°C or bagged dry.
04On the shelf, in the kitchenProducts reach retail and foodservice shelves days after leaving the plant, not months.
Why Aladey
Why choose Aladey?
Three reasons a Surinamese pack earns its place next to the imported ones.
Made in Suriname
Made from start to finish in Paramaribo. Every Aladey product supports local people, local businesses, and local production.
From our family to yours
Our cassava and flour come from companies within the Big Will Group, including Power Crops and De Molen. Being part of a connected local food network keeps our supply chain close, reliable, and proudly Surinamese.
Fresh to the shelf
Less distance means less time in transit. Our products travel from our production line to the store quickly, helping them reach the shelf fresh and ready for your everyday meals.
Aladey kitchen
Two ways to put it on the plate
Cassava Fries · 6 min in the air fryer
Loaded cassava fries
They go straight from frozen to golden, then get piled with whatever you have: cheese, pepper sauce, pickled onion. The bite holds up under it all, which is the whole point.
Cassava Chunks · 15 min in the oven
Golden chunks, salt and herbs
Big pieces with crisp edges and soft middles. Finish them with sea salt and chopped parsley, and put the bowl in the middle of the table.
Call or email us about orders, pricing and availability. If you distribute food in the Caribbean or Latin America, we would especially like to hear from you: Aladey is produced by an established food group with its own mill and its own growers, so supply does not depend on anyone else's schedule.
