Guarana is a climbing shrub native to the Amazon rainforest of Brazil. It has been used for centuries by indigenous people for its unique properties. The plant produces small, red berries with a high caffeine concentration, about twice that of coffee beans. The berries are dried and then crushed into a powder or formed into a paste. The paste is used to make a traditional drink known as guarana tea. Whole guarana seeds are also used in many products, such as energy drinks and food products. The seeds are roasted and ground into a powder, which is then added to beverages or foods. The powder is naturally sweet and is often used to flavor candies, snacks, and other desserts. Whole guarana seeds are a natural source of caffeine, and other beneficial compounds, making them a popular choice for those looking for a natural energy boost.
