Bioactive ingredients innovator, CarobWay, GmbH announces it has sealed an exclusive distribution agreement with GRA Nutra Corp., a Delaware-based developer and distributor of natural ingredients. CarobWay’s first commercial product, CarobBiome™, will roll out in 2026. This alliance enables CarobWay to expand its full line of carob-based solutions into the US.
CarobBiome™ is a novel, natural prebiotic fiber derived from carob fruit shown to support wellness on several fronts: it promotes digestive comfort, enhances satiety, and contributes to overall metabolic function.
Bringing the ancient Biblical superfruit back to the forefront of the functional food and natural supplement markets, CarobWay runs a fully vertically integrated company operating as a cultivator and innovator of specialty carob sourced ingredients. With GRA Nutra, the full portfolio is in the pipeline for availability across North America.
CarobBiome™ is a clean-label, minimally processed prebiotic sourced from upcycled carob pulp. It is extracted using a proprietary method that applies only water and heat and allows a clean and simple ingredient list. CarobWay’s production capacity is ready to scale, as it preps itself to serve the US market next year.
CarobBiome™ for foods, beverages, and supplements
“By integrating CarobWay’s responsibly produced, high-quality, carob-based ingredients into GRA Nutra’s North American portfolio, we enhance the value we can deliver to our customers across the functional food, beverage, and supplement industries,” affirms Lynda Doyle, CEO of GRA Nutra Corp. “I have known CarobWay’s co-founders, Udi Alroy and Guido Schaer for many years, and they have a long history of bringing top-tier natural products into the market. I’m excited to work directly with them. I have immense respect for their expertise and their commitment to making a lasting impact on our industry. The rapid growth CarobWay has already achieved is remarkable. This collaboration underscores our shared vision for a more sustainable future and reflects our dedication to advancing industry standards through integrity, innovation, and lasting partnerships.”
