Guarana

Guarana is a climbing plant native to the Amazon rainforest, renowned for its seeds which are used to produce a stimulating extract. The guarana seeds are particularly valued for their high caffeine content, which is significantly higher than that found in coffee beans.

Often used in energy drinks, supplements, and as a natural stimulant, guarana has a distinctive bitter taste that adds a unique flavor to various beverages and formulations.

Its traditional use among indigenous tribes and its widespread use in modern energy products highlight guarana’s enduring appeal and functional benefits. Guarana is prepared by sun-drying, then roasting at low temperatures (max. 43°C), and grinding to achieve the desired texture.

How to use Guarana

Perfect for adding to water, juices, smoothies, plant-based drinks, sauces, and salad vinaigrettes. Its flavor is an explosive combination of spicy and bitter.
