Product Characteristics & Key Advantages

100% clean label, additive free The powder is made only from exceptional fresh tubers and has no artificial colours, flavours or functional fillers at any point. This makes it a good fit for brands with a clean-label positioning in both retail and professional B2B sectors.

Naturally high in anthocyanins. The deep purple colour is not caused by artificial dye but is the consequence of anthocyanins pigments naturally found in the yam tuber. This provides your completed product a beautiful visual colour that people are increasingly associating with health aware elements.
