Our customers, primarily the manufacturers of Pharmaceutical products, need the highest quality raw materials from a reliable source that can supply year after year at a relatively constant price.
Research at the Saw Palmetto Harvesting Company has shown the ripeness of the berry determines the fatty acid content, riper berries give a greater yield of lipophilic contents. As a result, our company is careful to select and collect the berries at the optimum moment of ripeness
