About Our Product
Product Benefits
Our industry-leading production process allows us to produce flour while perserving food safety, nutrition, and a natural colour for our flour. Plus, using our flour provides several business advantages, including the following.

Sustainability
Versatility
Taste
Savoury, flavourful products no longer have to come at the expense of nutrition. Upcycled Barley Flour has a deep, rich, toasty, malt flavour that adds a complex note, complementing other sweet or savoury flavours in your recipes. Reducing food waste has never been so yummy!
Nutrition
Our Upcycled Barley Flour has 4x the fibre, 3x the protein, and <92% net carbs than regular barley flour. With all the prebiotics, vitamins and minerals, and macronutrient profile of our flour, it's safe to say our flour is the healthier half of beer. Oh, did we forgot to mention it has higher fibre and protein content than all other functional flours on the market!
Sustainability
By redirecting brewers' spent grain from landfills and upcycling them into flour, we reduce carbon emissions from decomposition. Some would say we are making the most of the grain, so why not leverage it as an ESG win with your stakeholders by sharing the impact of the grains you've helped us rescue.
Versatility
Thanks to carefully curating the spent grain varieties we deal with, our best in class production process, and extensive food safety standards we surpass, you can trust upon our flour to be easy to reformulate into an existing recipe or to use in developing a new one.
Product Comparison
Spent Grains
Susgrainable directly collects the BSG from craft breweries as soon as it is ready. Wet spent grain is taken to a drying facility for rapid dehydration, which is done within 8 hours.
Upcycled Barley Flour
The dried barley is then milled to create flour. We grind the flour to remove any large husks and create a consistently smooth texture.
Malted Barley
The grain we focus on for collection as malted barely is used by breweries in the beer-making process. The end product is a mash known as Brewers' Spent Grain.
Barley Grains
Different varieties of malted barley, each offering their own flavour of barley flour.
So how does our barley flour compare? By using the healthier half of beer with all the fibre, protein, vitamins and minerals, upcycled barley flour already looks quite promising.
Add in our industry leading production process that preserves food safety, taste, nutrition and color, and you have the healthiest flour you can find for a more affordable price than other functional flours.
Potential Commercial Use Cases
Crisps
High fibre crackers, flatbreads, and crisps are now easy to produce with a blend of our barley flour and enriched wheat flour.
Bread
Barley flour can be used in sourdough, improve the nutrition of sliced bread, or be sold by artisinal bakers and in cafes.
Pretzels
People love eating pretzels with their beer. Why not go full circle by serving them pretzels made from beer waste.
Cereal
Multigrain flakes are net carb intensive. Now you have a low cost way to improve its fibre and protein content with a twist.
Flatbreads
Naans, pitabreads, and tortillas are staples in certain cuisines. With a blend of barley flour, they can be even healthier.
Baking Additive
Creating muffins, carrot cake, or pizza dough? Add a bit of our barley flour to enhance its nutrition and taste.

Who Do Our Partners Have To Say?
Was really great to meet up… & explore the opportunities to use the upcycled grains that Sugrainable are developing & especially see how they might work in the development of the Banana & Zucchini Loaves.

I am excited to receive samples of the product to see what kind of recipes we could create. We are looking to reduce our GHGs through our menu offerings, serve up more local products, all while providing more nutritious foods.

Spent grain barley flour is an incredible ingredient to work with in our wholesale bakery. Just a little spent flour adds a depth of flavour that is rich and chocolaty with the added benefit of being high in protein and fibre.

First off, I love the Susgrainable story and team. The flour can be tricky to use at first, but once you find the right ratios, it makes a delicious healthier baked good. Customers are growing increasingly excited about our Susgrainable collab products.
