Spill the Beans

With a South African Twist

About

The aim of Spill the Beans is to introduce a safe and convenient, ready-to-drink beverage to a specific dairy alternative market with a South African twist.

 The product is formulated with locally sourced ingredients including red speckled beans, sorghum, and rooibos tea.

The drink can be consumed on the go as a snack between meals. The dairy alternative drink must be stored in a package, specifically designed for the convenience of a busy, young working consumer.

Our strength

Red speckled beans are rarely utilised to produce milk. This can result in consumer attraction and reinforce an original product.

Sorghum also naturally contains a significant quantity of protein, vitamins and minerals. It is also free from gluten and lactose hence it is appropriate for gluten intolerant and lactose intolerant individuals. The addition of a Novozyme increases the bioavailability of the starch. It also reduces the need for the addition of more refined sugars (white sugar) as the enzyme breaks down the starch and converts it to sugar. This then decreases the sugar-tax implemented for drinks.

The utilisation of the Rooibos and caramel flavour, rooibos is a typically popular South African flavour, and is associated with health benefits. There is a lack of rooibos flavoured ready-to-drink beverages.

Inulin which is a prebiotic fiber is added to increase the creaminess of the product as it acts as a fat replacement, and it does not alter the flavour of the product (Schneeman, 1999). Spill the Beans also obtains a source of high in omega 3 claim which is exceptionally beneficial for working students and professionals. Spill the Beans explicitly has an allergen-free claim whilst the other chosen benchmarked products contain a nut allergen hence Spill the Beans caters for a larger variety of consumers.
