Stock Buy - Ingredion (10 shares, $25 dividend income)

Ingredion (NYSE:INGR) is a leading global ingredients solutions company. They make sweeteners, starches, nutrition ingredients and biomaterials that are used in foods and beverages to paper and pharmaceuticals.

I use their products in my daily life so it is a case of "Invest in What You Know"(a famous quote by Peter Lynch) The moat around their business is their long history of innovations and knowledge base.

With a dividend yield of 3%+, low payout and decent div growth, I like it. I hope they can increase their dividend soon too. This buy will add a nice "tasting" $25 to my dividend stock portfolio 💪😋

DIVIDEND YIELD (FWD)	ANNUAL PAYOUT (FWD)	PAYOUT RATIO	5 YEAR GROWTH RATE	DIVIDEND GROWTH
3.11%	$2.50	38.17%	9.45%	9 Years
