Upcycled World Ingredient Marketplace
Building on the success of ReGrained SuperGrain+®, we’ve ventured into new territories by offering a diverse portfolio of upcycled ingredients to harness the potential of various overlooked materials, such as coffee leaves, fruits, and more. Designed to be formulated into foods and beverages to add flavor, improve texture, and naturally fortify nutrition, each ingredient offers an easy solution to drive upcycled food innovation.
Upcycled Teas
Upcycled Arabica Coffee Leaf Tea
This unique premium ingredient is made from handpicked leaves of the arabica coffee plant featuring light, diffused caffeine, antioxidants, and polyphenols. Coffee leaf tea has been consumed in Africa and Southeast Asia for generations for its health benefits but was never crafted into an ingredient until now. This upcycled food ingredient also creates year-round jobs in the coffee offseason by generating a new source of stable income for the community. This product is available wholesale as a loose-leaf tea or liquid extract and is perfect for beverage applications like kombucha, craft beer, and non-alcoholic refreshers or as an alternative to matcha in baked goods.
Cacao Husk
Dried & Roasted, Tea Cut
Upcycled Cacao Husks come from the outer shells of cacao seeds, naturally separated from the beans during chocolate production. After fermentation, drying, and roasting, these husks are full of rich, dark chocolate flavor with a natural boost of caffeine and theobromine. When brewed as a tea, they offer a smooth, energizing alternative to coffee, packed with antioxidants and polyphenols. Sustainably sourced from zero-deforestation, fully regenerative farms, our cacao husks help reduce waste while delivering bold flavor and functional benefits.
Upcycled Fruits
Upcycled Cacao Fruit Syrup
This flavorful syrup is produced from the incredible pulp of the cacao fruit, Theobroma Cacao. Cacao fruit juice is harvested from the fresh cacao, where the seeds become chocolate. Despite a rich history of human consumption around the world that honors the cacao fruit’s incredible flavor and health benefits, the juice largely goes to waste on a commercial scale. Cacao fruit contains theobromine, a powerful antioxidant and a natural stimulant similar to caffeine but without the potential side effects. This product has a wide range of applications from sour ales to sauces, marinades and more.
Date Ingredients
Sugar, Paste & Syrup
Date Nectar is a sweet, delicious, and healthy sweetener and natural honey alternative that’s made sustainably from fruit that would not have gone to human consumption. We have curated 3 types of date products: granulated sugar, paste, and syrup. Organic, Non-GMO, Paleo-friendly, and totally vegan, dates have a rich history that spans thousands of years and has been a staple of Middle Eastern cuisine since the biblical era.
Upcycled Wine Raisins®
CabernayZyn®, MerlayZyn®, ChardonayZyn®
Upcycled Wine Raisins® contain the skins, seeds, and stems from wine grapes to deliver more antioxidants, fiber, and polyphenols than regular raisins. These raisins have a unique crunch because of the toasted seeds left inside the grape during the drying process. The seeds contain high levels of antioxidants like resveratrol and epicatechins, which are known for promoting heart health and preventing cancer. In fact, Wine Raisins® have 8x the antioxidants as regular raisins. Just 1.6oz of product contains the same amount of antioxidants as 15 pounds of almonds, 100 pomegranates, or 2 pounds of blackberries! We have curated 3 types of Wine Raisins® including CabernayZyn® (with flavors of black currant, fig, and toasted seeds), MerlayZyn® (with raspberry and plum notes), and ChardonayZyn® (with caramel, apricot, and green apple notes).
