Key Moments
Growing plant compounds in bioreactors instead of strip-mining jungles
BioHarvest has developed a way to grow pure plant compounds like resveratrol and grape seed polyphenols in bioreactors without growing the actual plant. This eliminates the need for massive land use, solvent extraction, and 95% plant waste, while producing purer, more bioavailable compounds.
"We're basically strip mining jungles and land in search of these amazing plant compounds so we can grind them up, throw away 95% of the plant, and then put the rest of it in little capsules."
Cell culture produces resveratrol without growing a single grape
Instead of traditional grape seed extraction with solvents and massive land use, BioHarvest literally grows grape cells in bioreactors to produce compounds like pterostilbene resveratrol (the gold standard form), bridging the power of nature with cellular agriculture.
"What we do is we literally, in the case of our red grape cell blood flow superfood, we took the grape literally 2012."
