Smarter Solutions from Better Ingredients
Riviana introduces nutrient-rich pulse ingredients that deliver texture, nutrition and functionality.
New Ingredients. Better Performance. Smarter Solutions.
Our passion is producing natural solutions to existing problems that the food industry faces, like clean-label substitutions, natural thickeners and texturizers, nutritional improvements, shelf life optimization, natural emulsifiers or gluten replacement.

Riviana only manufactures natural ingredients in line with the values of clean label food products. No chemically modified or synthetic products are produced. No preservatives or any other additives are added during production.
In recent times, a clear trend toward plant-based foods has emerged in the U.S., along with increasing interest in alternatives to animal proteins. Inspired by the latest food trends, our application teams create products that are tasty, healthy, and natural.
Our two R&D centers are fully equipped pilot plants that work to develop the most innovative ingredients.
