Organic Guarana Powder
Guarana powder has become extremely popular in the energy drink market as an alternative source of caffeine. A native evergreen sprawling shrub-like vine grown in the Amazon region, the guarana tree produces red berries that have been used like coffee in its native country of Brazil for centuries. Each fruit harbours one seed which contains approximately five times as much caffeine as coffee beans.
Ingredients: 100% Guarana berries
Country of Origin: Brazil
Botanical Name: Paullinia cupana – Other Names: Brazilian cocoa
When ripe, the fruit partially opens and at this stage the seeds are harvested to prevent them from falling on the ground; they are then roasted, dried and ground into a powder. As with other plants producing caffeine, the high concentration of caffeine is a defensive toxin that repels pathogens from the berry and its seeds.
Guarana is widely employed to flavour carbonated soft drinks and is often used in energy bars and even chocolate bars for flavour.
