JOIN THE WHITE CHALLENGE: MEET YURAQ
Today we bring you the latest in our portfolio of innovative specialty ingredients.
Let us tell you the story of YuraQ (Inci: Phytelephas Aequatorialis Seed Powder). In the rainforests of Ecuador, a native wild palm (Phytelephas Aequatorialis) produces a magic seed called Tagua.
Due to its consistency, appearance and cream white shade – which is very similar to ivory - the stone nut is also known as vegetable ivory. The Tagua nut is milled to a fine powder called YuraQ, which means ‘white’ in the Ecuadorian indigenous language.
WHAT IS YURAQ USED AS?
- As a sensory enhancer
- As a whitening agent
