General information

Short Summary
This Israeli company specializes in premium food products aimed at the health-aware consumers and is seeking to export its flagship product: silan – 100% natural date syrup, a natural sweetener. It also carries various oils and other products, such as rose water, to enhance rich flavors in cooking. The company markets its products locally to most leading retail food chains and would like to expand its activity and export to similar chains abroad under a distribution services agreement.
Full Description
This Israeli company offers gourmet and wellness food products. The company would like to focus on its wellness products and specifically export its leading product in the category of healthier food substances – silan – a natural date syrup made of 100% premium dates.
Silan is used as a healthy sugar substitute and has recently been consumed in the local market in growing quantities as a natural sweetener; it is a good energy source for athletes and is incorporated into the menus of health-food lovers, including vegetarians, for whom this is a great natural, vegan source of energy. It is rich in the monosacchirides glucose and fructose, becoming absorbed into the bloodstream while still in the mouth.
The health benefits attributed to silan derive from its being rich in minerals, in particular potassium and calcium. Potassium is one of the seven essential macro minerals and supports key biological processes; calcium is important for overall health.
The company is seeking distributors that will help it penetrate leading health food chains and food chains in general with this product. In light of good reactions from the local market and a growing need for healthier substitutes for sugar and energy sources, silan is a great source of natural energy and can be combined into every meal.
The company would like to find distributors who can market silan to relevant food retail and health-food chains abroad under a distribution services agreement.
Advantages and Innovations
Silan is a healthy sweetener. The date syrup is higher in magnesium and potassium than other natural sweeteners, such as maple syrup and honey, and has become a preferred alternative to sugar. It is a great source of these essential minerals for athletes and all healthy lifestyle lovers, including vegetarians, for whom this is also a great vegan source of energy.
