General information
- Short Summary
- Belgian startup offering a sustainable instant tigernut powder drink is in search of distribution partners for it's international expansion of this health-centric and environmentally-conscious product.
- Full Description
-
The company was founded in 2023 by an orthomolecular therapist, Sofie Dobbelaere. As a therapist, Sofie Dobbelaere, encountered difficulties in finding healthy (lactose free, healthy sugars and fats,…), ecological drinks for her patients.
Sofie started 3 years ago studying plant based drinks and found the healthy match with the tigernut.
From an ecological perspective Sofie was shocked by the pointless (mainly) water transport in the drinking sector and the excessive bottle/PET handling. To find a solution several test were performed to examine the feasibility of a plant-based powder drink solution.
The study work and tests became finally successful in 2022 and as a consequence a new innovative drinking solution was launched in April 2023: small tigernut powder sachets of 35 gram are sold to mix with approx. 200 ml water in a re-use bottle. Sofie is convinced that powder drinks will/must be part of the ecological solutions in the drinking sector (will/must be industry revolution like data via the cable).
Sofie plans to expand her innovative drinking solution abroad and is looking for distribution ‘Tigers’. - Advantages and Innovations
