About

Company description

At UpGrain, we are on a mission to establish Brewer’s Spent Grain (BSG) as a key protein and fiber source for the future. This byproduct of beer brewing has long been undervalued - yet we see it as one of the most promising alternatives to conventional plant-based nutritional sources. As an upcycling pioneer, we have developed an innovative mechanical process that allows us to extract high-quality protein and fiber from BSG - without the need for additional water, land or chemicals. The result? A sustainable, locally sourced ingredient that not only reduces food waste but also helps to preserve natural resources. Our Upcycled Barley Ingredients are: 100% plant-based, Rich in protein & fiber and low in carbohydrates, Perfect for your health, Applicable to a wide range of food products, from baked goods to plant-based meat alternatives By giving new life to what was once discarded, we are shaping a more sustainable and resource-efficient food system. It’s time to rethink nutrition - because the future of food is circular.
