Guarana Seeds from Brazil

The Guarana Seed is produced from the Paullinia Cupana Plant and the most famous end product is the Guarana Powder.  The Guarana Seed contains about twice the concentration of caffeine found in coffee beans (about 2–4.5% caffeine in guarana seeds, compared to 1–2% for coffee seeds). Guarana Seed, Guarana Powder and the Guarana Extract are the main ingredients for Energy Drinks today.

The Guarana Seeds are planted, harvested and processed in Northern Brazil States of Bahia and Para. The Paullinia Cupana Plant is stripped of the Guarana Seeds and the Pulp of the Fruit is separated from the seeds. The Seeds are then dried in the sun, cleaned  and stored for exportation or production of Guarana Powder. Many Importers and Guarana Powder Brands are buying Guarana Seeds in Brazil to produce their Guarana Powder in House and save more on operation costs.
