Nutraberry upcycles the millions of lbs. of PNW berry seeds created during the production of seedless purée by focusing on manufacturing high quality berry seed powders sized from the single digit micron size sold into the supplement and functional food markets to larger sizes to supply the personal care markets with natural actives, colorants and exfoliants.
The status quo is rigid and requires purposeful activities in order to unlock the existing latent demand for upcycled products. Nutraberry’s products are part of both a fast-growing upcycling food trend and the better for you, wellness, post Covid addressable segment.
A key to our success has been our ability to manufacture polyphenol-rich defatted seed powder, which achieves a 3% fat level, from a starting fat level of 12-15%, and a powder particle size under 50 microns. Finer powder amplifies the flavor and health benefits, as well minimizes the color. The finer the powder the more color neutral our seed powder.
In addition to founding Nutraberry, earning a B.S in Chemical Engineering from Madison, Wisconsin and an MBA in 2011, I bring an eclectic blend of experiences from vending at Wrigley Field during Chicago Cubs baseball games leading into selling glow sticks during college to being lucky enough to have lived and studied in Copenhagen Denmark.
I am a Food Safety Preventive Control Qualified Individual (PCQ) and HACCP certified. My very first job after college was at a Nabisco Oreo production plant measuring the moisture of Oreo cookies. After that, I worked in production at Baxter Health Care Injectable Formulation lab and then became a validation engineer at Abbott Labotories.
In parallel to cultivating Nutraberry, I have 7 years background tutoring at Chief Sealth International High School and Franklin High School in Seattle, WA where I work with a diverse range of students.
