FAQ
What is ValueGrain?
ValueGrain is a highly nutritious food ingredient made from a side stream of the brewing process.
What makes ValueGrain unique?
It is circular, plant-based, rich in fiber and protein, and processed without drying or additives, making it economical and sustainable to use for versatile food applications.
What can ValueGrain be used for?
ValueGrain can be used in a wide range of food applications as a nutrient booster or functional ingredient, including baked goods, bulking substances, meat alternatives and novelty foods.
Is ValueGrain a flour substitute?
No. ValueGrain complements flour rather than replacing it. It enhances texture, fiber, and nutritional content in existing recipes.
What are the nutritional benefits?
ValueGrain contains ~22g fiber and ~10g protein per 100g, with minimal fat and sugars—ideal for optimizing nutrition naturally.
How is ValueGrain delivered?
We handle the full logistics chain from brewery to food producer delivery. ValueGrain can be delivered tailored to your production needs either fresh or frozen for extended shelf life.
How is the ValueGrain technology integrated into the brewing process?
Our technology is installed directly in the brewery and connects seamlessly to existing infrastructure requiring no major changes to brewing operations.
How does this matter for sustainability?
Each year, over 40 million tons of BSG go to waste. Upcycling it into food reduces waste, saves CO₂, and supports circular food systems.
How can I test or collaborate with ValueGrain?
We offer pilot projects for interested partners. Reach out to explore samples, product development, or joint test production.
