Your seeds, cold-pressed into two premium ingredients.
Send us your seeds and take back clean-label botanical oil, defatted seed meal — milled to powder on request — or both, all through our gentle NatureFRESH Cold Press™ process. We handle jobs from one pallet of seeds up to one truckload, and we specialize in specialty fruit, vegetable, and herb seed oils.
Take home the oil, the meal, or both
You decide which products ship back to you, and we build your quote around that choice:
- Meal & Powder — you keep the defatted meal or powder; the oil stays with Botanic Innovations.
- Oil only — you keep the botanical oil; the meal stays with Botanic Innovations.
- Both components — you keep the oil and the meal or powder from the same run.
Please note: if you choose to leave a component with us, it is not a credit. Botanic Innovations does not purchase or pay for a product you elect not to take — we do not pay for leftover oil or leftover meal.
NatureFRESH Cold Press™: a gentler press, a cleaner ingredient
Our all-natural method uses mechanical pressing to avoid the extreme heat of conventional techniques — preserving the seed’s fiber and the oil’s natural flavor, purity, and nutrients. It is slightly slower and more costly than standard extraction. In return, you get superior quality and integrity: seed oils and powders that meet the highest standards and stand out for clean-label appeal and premium performance.
