Agrain

Agrain specializes in upcycling industrial food waste, specifically spent grains from the brewing industry, into nutritious and flavorful products such as flour, granola, and snacks. By transforming spent grains—leftovers after starch extraction during beer production—Agrain creates innovative, sustainable food solutions that enhance the nutritional value of various food products. Their spent grain flours boast improved environmental footprints and nutritional benefits over traditional baking flours, allowing home bakers, professional kitchens, and the broader food industry to utilize these aromatic and versatile ingredients. Each type of Agrain flour, categorized as 01, 02, or 03, offers distinct flavors and aromas suitable for different culinary applications, including bread and savory baking. Agrain emphasizes sustainability, noting that producing 1 kg of their spent grain flour requires no agricultural land or water resources, contrasting sharply with conventional flour production which consumes extensive farmland. With around 40 million tons of spent grain generated annually, Agrain aims to repurpose this abundant byproduct, reducing food waste and addressing food insecurity challenges. The company also engages with customers through recipes, baking tips, and newsletters, offering a 15% discount on first purchases to encourage sustainable baking practices. Agrain’s mission reinforces the importance of rethinking food systems for a healthier planet by maximizing the utility of every grain.
