Dark cocoa replacement
Dark Cocoa Replace recently was added to the miller’s cocoa replacement portfolio. Made from U.S.-sourced wheat, it’s a single-ingredient solution, delivering significant cost savings by replacing up to 25% of cocoa powder and 90% of the highly alkalized cocoa powder portion in applications using cocoa powder blends, including dark chocolate cakes, brownies, cookies and muffins. Beyond critical cost savings and availability, Dark Cocoa Replace maintains quality, color and performance in baked goods and snacks.

Pomegranate extract for skin health
New clinical data supports the potential benefits for skin beauty from within from Pomanox, the supplier’s patented, standardized pomegranate extract. A study revealed that daily supplementation with Pomanox resulted in a statistically significant increase in insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in older adults. IGF-1 supports normal cell growth and repair, which typically decline with age. By addressing both the aesthetic and functional aspects of aging, Pomanox meets growing consumer demand for natural, science-backed solutions that promote long-term holistic vitality and healthy skin.
