Why We Slipped Grape Seed Extract Into Your Perk Energy (And Why You’ll Thank Us).
Including grape seed extract in our drink wasn’t just a decision—it was an odyssey. We debated how to craft something that’s not only delicious but also makes people feel like they’ve done something productive with their day. And so began our deep dive into the wide world of functional ingredients. We considered all the usual suspects: turmeric (too trendy), chia seeds (too floaty), and acai (too hard to pronounce). Then someone whispered, “What about grape seed extract?”
At first, we dismissed it as the kind of thing you’d find on a list of “Top 10 Superfoods You’ve Never Heard Of,” alongside bee pollen and spirulina. But the more we researched, the more we realized we’d struck gold—or, in this case, a very purple kind of magic.
