How it Works

For Farmers and Processors

Imagine youre a farmer or processor handling carrots, and you want to find a use for the leafy tops or other leftover parts that are still rich in nutrients. Typically, you might end up paying to dispose of this material through composting, including tipping fees. But what if you could turn this waste into profit instead?

For Food and Supplement Formulators

Now, consider you’re a food or supplement formulator looking to enhance your product with additional fiber or antioxidants. Whether it’s for soups, smoothies, or powdered greens, you’re seeking ingredients that are high in nutrition. You come across Joe the Carrot Farmer, who has exactly what you need—but how do you determine the value of his leftover carrot pieces?

Cost-Saving Solution

Normally, you would need to hire a consultant at significant cost just to figure out where to begin with evaluating and utilizing these materials. Our AntioxideTM Value Calculator simplifies this process, saving you both time and money.

Introducing the AntioxideTM Value Calculator

Enter the AntioxideTM Value Calculator. This tool helps both farmers and formulators by providing an estimated monetary value for plant-based materials based on their antioxidant content.

How It Works:

Whether you’re looking to sell nutrient-rich leftovers or buy high-quality ingredients, the Antioxide Value Calculator provides a clear, data-driven estimate.

Note: if you get no result or especially, if you get a "null" dollar value ($USD/kg) your material could still be worth a lot of money! Contact us for more info.
