Common questions
Is Yerba mate healthy?
Yerba mate scores 95/100 on Tallow — our clean band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.
What is in Yerba mate?
Yerba mate lists 4 ingredients, starting with Organic Yerba Mate Extract, Organic Brewed Yerba Mate, Purified Water and Organic Cane Sugar. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
Does Yerba mate contain seed oils?
No. Nothing in Yerba mate’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".
