BI Showcasing New Sweet Potato Powder and Two Unique Beverages at IFT Booth #1745
RANCHO DOMINGUEZ, CA — BI will be featuring their new sweet potato powder at this year’s IFT Annual Meeting and Food Expo being held June 26-28, 2017 at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Attendees will be able to sample an exciting showcase of flavor rich ingredients including a tasty sweet potato corn muffin containing BI’s new high-fiber sweet potato powder complimented by psyllium, ginger and cinnamon; a protein packed iced latte featuring a clean-label, hypoallergenic faba bean protein (60%) concentrate; and a refreshing pineapple and orange juice blend containing ginger root powder.
BI’s recently announced the launch of their sweet potato powder. The mildly sweet aroma and flavor of the powder with notes of raisin, dried fruit, and honey make the powder a complimentary addition to a variety of applications, from baby foods to beverages and snacks. Long recognized for their nutritional benefits, sweet potatoes offer an excellent nutritional profile with essential vitamins and minerals, protein and fiber. The sweet potato corn muffin captures the baked goodness of a conventional corn muffin while offering 3 grams of additional dietary fiber.

BI also conducts extensive species identification and quality testing on every ingredient so manufacturers can be assured each one meets clean label claims.
