Our Palmfruit™ organic coconut flour is ground from shredded and dried organic coconut meat (desiccated coconut) after it has been pressed to release the virgin coconut oil. The resulting flour has a mild coconut flavor with a somewhat nutty and slightly sweet flavor.

Coconut flour contains fat, protein, and fiber — making it an excellent base flour for functional gluten-free baking. Use it in cookies, crackers, pizza crusts, muffin mixes, tortillas and snacks, or for treats and biscuits that pets are sure to love.

Fair trade coconut flour is available upon request.

Organic inulin is a mildly sweet, fine white powder used as a functional dietary fiber source in applications like granola bars, frozen desserts and nutritional beverage powders. Ciranda's organic inulin is produced from the agave plant.

Organic agave inulin is a prebiotic dietary fiber that is extracted from the agave tequilana plant — a plant which naturally contains a high concentration of inulin fructans. It is an odorless, clean tasting, white powder that is highly soluble in liquid.

Inulin from agave adds fiber and carbohydrates to cookies, powdered beverage mixes and pet food, while also providing numerous functional benefits. Agave inulin has natural water-absorption properties. It acts as a fat mimetic to improve the texture and mouthfeel in reduced sugar or reduced fat applications like ice cream or yogurt. It can partially replace flour or starch in baked goods, and partially replace sugar in confections.

Try organic agave inulin in baking mixes, meal replacement shakes, sweet spreads, powdered creamers and non-dairy milk alternatives.

Organic tapioca starch is a white, bland-flavored starch derived from the tapioca (cassava) root. It is used for bulking, thickening and gelling in a variety of applications. Choose from native or pre-gelatinized tapioca starch.

Tapioca starch is one of the world's largest starch sources, coming in behind corn (maize) starch. However, unlike corn starch, no GMO tapioca cultivars exist commercially.

Organic TapiOK® tapioca starch is a high amylopectin starch with excellent water absorption properties. It forms a semi-transparent gel when hydrated. In yogurt preparations, tapioca starch adds a glossy shine and is useful for preventing syneresis (liquid migration). In gluten-free bakery and snacks, you'll find tapioca starch in baking mixes, cookies, bars, crackers, pizza crusts, pasta and more. It is also used in the pet food and personal care industries.

Native tapioca starch requires heat to activate the gelling and thickening properties, while pre-gelatinized (pre-gel) tapioca starch is cold water swelling, immediately activating without the use of heat.

Conventional non-GMO native and pre-gel tapioca starch is also available.

Organic tapioca syrup is a translucent, viscous liquid produced from organic tapioca starch using enzymes. Ciranda supplies tapioca glucose, maltose and fructose syrups in a dextrose equivalent (DE) range of DE 27 to 95.

TapiOK® organic tapioca syrups are colorless, neutral-flavored syrups that add sweetness and functionality in a variety of applications from cookies to ice cream to beverages and beyond. Ciranda supplies tapioca syrups in a range of sugar profiles, from DE 27 to 95. Lower DE tapioca syrups are typically more viscous and less sweet, while higher DE syrups are less viscous, but sweeter. Many manufacturers find success combining multiple DE's to achieve the desired balance of sweetness and texture.

As the first major organic supplier to introduce organic tapioca syrup to the North American market in the early 2000's, Ciranda has decades of experience helping manufacturers formulate with syrups from grains and tubers. Compared to glucose syrups from grains, tapioca syrups have specific advantages — like a lower protein content which positively affects shelf life. Tapioca syrup is also superior for film-forming and low-tack coatings, which is beneficial in granola bars and confections to prevent the product from adhering to the packaging.

Organic and non-GMO tapioca syrups can often be substituted at a one-to-one ratio for corn syrup at the same DE. Unlike syrups from corn, genetically modified tapioca currently does not currently exist commercially.

Conventional non-GMO tapioca syrups are available in the same DE levels.

Tapioca Syrup

Organic cassava flour is a mild flavored, white-to-beige colored flour that is popular with gluten-free bakers and snack-makers. Choose from fine, extra fine, all-purpose and toasted cassava flour.

Although cassava flour has only become commercially available in North America within the last 10 years, cassava (also known as tapioca, manioc and yuca) has been widely used across Africa and South America in traditional dishes for centuries.

Ciranda's organic cassava flour is produced in Brazil from cassava roots which have been peeled, grated, pressed, dried and milled to the desired fineness. Choose from all purpose, extra fine, fine and toasted varieties where a higher number indicates a finer mesh/grind. Each flour has unique properties. 

AP60 (All-Purpose) - Some water binding; best for softer and lighter doughs; try it for tortillas, soft cookies and most other bakery or snack applications 

EF50 (Extra Fine) - Very high water binding capacity; creates cornbread type structure in bakery; softer fiber; well-suited for crisp cookies, crackers, chips, extrusions, breadings, prepared or frozen meals

F20 (Fine) - Highest water binding capacity; creates dense structure; chewy fiber; best for thickening soups or sauces; suitable for crisp baked goods, extruded cereals and snacks, breadings, prepared or frozen meals

T20 (Toasted) - High water binding capacity; coarse texture; adds crisp and crunch; slightly nutty flavor; well-suited for coatings/breadings and whole grain snacks
