Cosucra develops and produces naturally-sourced ingredients from locally grown chicory roots and peas. But we want to think about, more than just producing food ingredients. Thinking about food to improve it and make it better able to meet consumers’ expectations in the coming years. Working alongside clients from idea to launch, we deliver innovative solutions in a wide range of applications based on Inulin chicory fiber (Fibruline™), pea protein isolate (Pisane™), pea fiber (Swelite™) and pea starch (Nastar™). We think food better. Naturally.
