Organic rice coffee

Remember the good old rice and corn coffee? Our forefathers especially the Ilocanos used to toast rice for their coffee. This was known and proven to relieve gas pain and makes our body feel good.

 This was how the sisters both government employees, NIEDA N. RAMOS (a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Home Economics- U.S.M, graduate) and ELIZABETH  R. PALMA GIL ( a CPA and LLb graduate), of Maitum, Sarangani, got the idea of starting up a processing business for rice and corn-based products. They thought of producing an affordable, alternative and healthy drink out of it. Also, their mother Cresing would always insist on making rice coffee, as this beverage would always make her day complete. So, the idea of venturing into this processing business came up.

Maitum, in Sarangani Province is the biggest rice-producing municipality, that’s why raw materials abound the highlands of Maitum. Cresing’s Food Products started in March, 2006 with rice coffee as their main product, but later on, through continuous research on value adding and other processing techniques, corn coffee was included in their product. Made with choicest organically grown rice and corn, it is already registered with the Department of Trade and Industry, with DOST Nutritional Facts, as well as an on-going BFAD accreditation and Barcode acquisition.

The sisters also boasts of a homemade process and recipe that makes the difference.There maybe other and similar products in the market, but the unique taste and flavor of Cresing’s Rice and Corn coffee, can keep you wanting for more! It has a wonderful taste, 100% caffeine-free, no preservatives added and 100% organically grown.

Being new in this business, Nieda admits it takes a lot of hardship and perseverance to make this business grow, but with the family’s inspiration and support, success is at hand. Apart from the financial gain, other people are also given extra income through employment from their business. With the advent for healthy food and drinks, Cresing’s Food Products continuous to research on its value-adding, variations, and market matching and linkaging.
