Discover Jungle Blue
Embark on an Adventure with Jungle Blue!
Deep in the heart of Colombia’s rainforest river valleys grows a fruit called the Jagua fruit (Genipa americana). This remarkable fruit, also known as huito, holds within it a crystal-clear juice that, when skilfully extracted, unveils a captivating, stable blue hue.
Partnering with Ecoflora Cares, Oterra has unlocked the amazing properties of this juice to produce a sensational, naturally sourced food color that's bound to revolutionize the way we think about blue in our foods.
Fuelling Consumer Desires
Blue food is making waves! Did you know that between 2020 and 2023, a staggering 41%* of new food launches in the US featured a blue color? A whopping 96% of those used synthetic colors. But times are changing! With 1 in 3** consumers now seeking natural ingredients, the call for a natural solution has never been louder.
