CoffeeFruit Pure and Ingredients By Nature sign supplier agreement

18 Oct 2017 --- CoffeeFruit Pure, maker of “pure and sustainable” antioxidant ingredients, has announced its partnership with Ingredients By Nature, which it describes as “a leading manufacturer of innovative, science-based ingredients and ingredient solutions.” The partnership makes CoffeeFruit Pure the exclusive supply source of premium coffee fruit for Ingredients By Nature.

Coffee fruit is described by CoffeeFruit Pure as one of the world’s most potent superfruits, with the company particularly noting how it surpasses other superfruits in both phenolic and chlorogenic acid content. The company’s namesake antioxidant-rich ingredient was launched earlier this month. Heidi Rosenberg, spokesperson for the company, told NutritionInsight at the time: “CoffeeFruit Pure has perfected a proprietary process that ‘up-cycles’ the otherwise discarded outer coffee fruit into a potent and wholesome nutritional ingredient.”

“The current challenge is educating the market about this ingredient. Everyone is familiar with coffee beans, but the amazing health support benefits of CoffeeFruit Pure are not widely known. CoffeeFruit Pure is working to bring more awareness to this potent antioxidant ingredient,” Rosenberg added.

Identifying a distributor with similar values
“We took the time to identify a distributor that shared our same values and excitement for an antioxidant-rich ingredient like coffee fruit,” says CoffeeFruit Pure Business Development Director, Stuart Nixon. “We look forward to the possibility of a lasting relationship with a company as established and driven as Ingredients By Nature and are excited to see the innovations and new product applications that will occur from joining forces.”

CoffeeFruit Pure currently offers its coffee fruit as powder, tea cut or liquid extract products. It may be used in food, beverage, dietary supplement and personal care products. It is also suited for applications as a flavor in beverages such as energy drinks, teas, beer and protein shakes.

Working with Ingredients By Nature, CoffeeFruit Pure expects to be able to deliver an increasingly diverse portfolio of coffee fruit products to suit the various needs of the companies’ US customers.

“Partnering with CoffeeFruit Pure is a great opportunity to help bring a high-quality ingredient to the market that is still largely unknown,” says Ingredients By Nature’s VP of Business Development Jon Brewster. “With our broad range of state-of-the-art processing capabilities, we will be able to provide our customers with top-of-the-line coffee fruit formulations to fit their needs.”
