Solving today's formulation challenges.

Food and beverage manufacturers are under growing pressure to reduce sugar and sodium, replace sweeteners, improve flavor, simplify labels and create differentiated products. Kefiplant's fermented botanical ingredients help formulators address these challenges while maintaining the taste and performance consumers expect.

Formulation challenges we solve.

Our fermented botanical ingredients are designed to help you create cleaner, better-performing products while maintaining taste, functionality and consumer appeal.

Add Functional Benefits

Each ingredient we offer is fermented, naturally developing functional benefits that vary from one botanical to another. Fermented ginger can support digestive wellness and provide anti-inflammatory benefits, while black tea kombucha is valued for its gut-friendly properties. These fermentation-enhanced botanicals help manufacturers bring more function to every formulation.
