Introduction: A Culinary Journey to the Philippines
In a world where individuals seek healthy, authentic, and one-of-a-kind culinary experiences, Essentials Daily, OPC is thrilled to present Organic Batuan Powder to the markets of Australia and New Zealand. This exceptional product not only highlights the vibrant flavors of the Philippines but also embodies the rich cultural legacy of Filipino cuisine. As a Philippine SEC registered company founded in April 2020, Essentials Daily has continuously adapted to meet the evolving demands of consumers for exceptional and unique products. This article delves into the story of Essentials Daily, the characteristics of Batuan fruit, and the exciting prospects that lie ahead for Batuan Powder.
The Growth of Essentials Daily: A Path to Success
Essentials Daily initially focused on online and offline retail of essential food items, ranging from fresh seafood to processed meats and a variety of fruits and vegetables. By December 2020, the company expanded its offerings to include authentic Filipino favorites like Bacolod delights, Bicol Express, and dried fish from Cebu. This expansion not only enriched the brand’s product range but also deepened its connection with local and international communities.
In July 2021, facing increased competition in the online retail sector, Essentials Daily strategically shifted its focus to niche products. This strategic move led to the development of Batuan Powder and Batuan Flavor Mix, offering a unique taste profile that sets it apart from conventional ingredients in the market. This shift allowed Essentials Daily to cater specifically to a community that values the distinctive essence of Filipino culinary culture.
Essentials Daily Co-Owner, Ivan Requinta shares: “We encountered so many challenges along the way – especially when securing permits and FDA certifications for the Batuan Powder; preventing us from making this happen way earlier. But I guess when you believe that anything is possible through prayer, hard work, diligence, perseverance, and patience; the impossible is really nothing.”
Introducing Batuan: A Tropical Gem
Batuan, also known as Binukaw, is a tropical fruit native to the Philippines, thriving particularly in the Panay and Negros Islands. Known for its tangy flavor and high acidity, Batuan is a popular ingredient in traditional Filipino dishes such as Sinigang, Kansi, and KBL (Kadyos, Baboy, Langka). Its versatile culinary applications make it a staple in many Filipino kitchens, enhancing both taste and nutritional value.
Harvested during peak seasons to ensure top quality, Essentials Daily’s Batuan Powder is made from 100% Batuan fruit, meticulously sun-dried, and processed in the company’s manufacturing plant in Bago City, Negros Occidental. Through each production stage, Essentials Daily guarantees that its Batuan Powder retains the signature tangy flavor and nutritional benefits that this indigenous fruit is renowned for.
The Health Benefits of Batuan
In addition to its delightful taste, Batuan fruit offers numerous health benefits. Packed with vitamins and minerals, it aids digestion and boosts immune health. Furthermore, Batuan contains antioxidants that help reduce oxidative stress in the body, a valuable asset in today’s health-conscious society.
With its low-calorie content, Batuan is a great addition to various diets. Combining delicious flavors with health-promoting properties, Essentials Daily’s Batuan Powder serves as a versatile ingredient that can easily elevate everyday cooking. Whether used in marinades, soups, or as a seasoning for meats, Batuan helps individuals connect with their cultural heritage while promoting a wholesome lifestyle.
Commitment to Quality: Certifications and Safety Standards
Essentials Daily prides itself on upholding the highest standards of food safety and quality. Since March 2024, Batuan Powder has been certified by the Philippine Food and Drug Administration (FDA), ensuring compliance with local regulations. This certification not only builds trust with customers but also reflects the brand’s dedication to delivering top-quality products.
Continuing its commitment to quality, Essentials Daily is in the process of obtaining Halal certification, expected to be finalized by the first quarter of 2025. Additionally, the brand will pursue Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Point (HACCP) certification by the second quarter of 2025 and Kosher certification by the third quarter of 2025. These certifications guarantee that Batuan Powder meets the dietary requirements of diverse communities, expanding its global reach.
A Leap Towards Global Expansion: Export Initiatives
In October 2024, Essentials Daily took a significant step towards international expansion by exporting several kilograms of Batuan Powder to Australia and New Zealand through a local exporter. This milestone underscores the company’s ambition to introduce the unique flavors of the Philippines to a wider audience.
“We are grateful and thankful for this opportunity, to spread our product overseas – most especially to our kababayans in every part of the world,” said Glenn Baratbate (Co-owner of Essentials Daily).
Looking ahead, Essentials Daily plans to explore additional export markets throughout the first half of 2025. Potential markets include countries in the Middle East, Canada, Mexico, and various Asian nations such as Japan, China, and South Korea. By engaging with diverse communities, Essentials Daily aims to connect with fellow kababayans and food enthusiasts who appreciate authentic Filipino flavors. The company is excited about establishing a global presence and sharing the beloved taste of Batuan with those who cherish the fruit.
Local Impact: Engaging with the Community
While expanding internationally, Essentials Daily remains deeply connected to its local community. The brand continues to engage with customers through various online platforms, including popular e-commerce sites like Shopee and Lazada. By offering products in English and ensuring a user-friendly shopping experience, Essentials Daily makes it convenient for consumers to access the flavors of the Philippines.
Moreover, the company is committed to supporting local communities in the Philippines, particularly in Negros Occidental, the region where Batuan is harvested. By sourcing ingredients locally and employing residents in the production process, Essentials Daily contributes to the local economy while celebrating the rich agricultural heritage of the area. This dual focus on community engagement and global outreach enriches the brand and reinforces its identity.
Future Innovations: Exploring New Product Varieties
As Essentials Daily continues to innovate, the introduction of Batuan Powder Mix is on the horizon. Currently in the product development phase, this variant aims to simplify the cooking process for consumers seeking the robust flavor of Batuan in a convenient format. Expected to receive FDA certification and approval by the second half of 2025, Batuan Powder Mix will complement the existing product line, meeting the growing demand for ready-to-use cooking solutions.
Furthermore, the Essentials Daily team is dedicated to continuous improvement and customer feedback. By closely monitoring market trends and preferences, the brand adapts its offerings to ensure that every product meets the evolving needs of the culinary landscape. This proactive approach will solidify Essentials Daily’s position as a trusted source for high-quality, authentic Filipino ingredients.

With the launch of Organic Batuan Powder in Australia and New Zealand, the company is poised to captivate consumers worldwide.

Requinta concluded: “Indeed, there will still be challenges to overcome, but we now know that we can do it because anything is really possible!”
