Welcome to Primal Essence
We offer Natural Extract Ingredients to help your food and beverage brands achieve:
Natural Health Benefits
Clean Label Appeal
Scaleable Manufacturing
Aqueous Molecular Partitioning (AMP) Technology
What makes our extracts unique is our proprietary AMP technology. We apply this process to pure oils and oleoresins so that they can mix in water. This allows you to easily incorporate powerful extracts into your formulas without extra manufacturing steps or chemicals
Family-Owned & Operated
Since 1998
We strive to ensure that our extracts match the food quality standards of the industry's largest corporations, but we will always deliver them to you with the loving dedication and personalized service of a small, family business
Always From Nature,
Never From a Lab
Call us old-fashioned, but we believe that Nature does it best. We love partnering with formulators who use our products as the building blocks for flavorful innovations, but we like to stick with supplying single-ingredient extracts that are true to Nature's design
The Food & Beverage Industry
Is Changing... For Good
Don't let your brand be held back.
The 2022 - 2024 data from market analysis firms all report the same massive shifts in the industry:
people want healthy, functional, and natural ingredients in their food & beverage products.
This growing trend is creating valuable opportunities for brands that are able to adapt,
but will be a disaster for brands who refuse to keep up.
Functional Foods
The link between good diet and good health is undeniable. Consumers are opting for food and beverage products that promise to deliver real health benefits through high quality ingredients. Our extracts retain the phytonutrients found in natural herbs, spices, fruits, and florals, and can help your brand deliver on these promises.
International Flavors
The world is more globalized than ever, and consumer food trends are no exception. More and more, people are exploring exciting and exotic flavors from all over the globe. And as it turns out, they're really enjoying them. Chai is a perfect example of how a traditional spice blend from India has forever changed the menus of coffee shops and cafes, ever since it became popular in the US domestic beverage market.
Plant-Based Products
Products that can offer plant-based ingredients are often environmentally-friendly and sustainable. It's hard to find something more natural and sustainable than real herbs and spices. By using organic extract ingredients, your brands can stay plant-based without making compromises on functionality or flavor.
Natural Ingredient Labels
Consumers want to be able to identify, understand, and pronounce the ingredients on a label. This is commonly referred to as "Clean Label" appeal. For example, compare "Methyl Salicylate" to "Organic Wintergreen Extract." Which one would you prefer eating? When brands continue to hide what they put their into products by using "natural & artificial flavors" on labels, they're losing people's trust.
