Agrain

Agrain® is organic and sustainable Danish-made everyday food products made from upcycled brewer’s spent grains. Spent grains are the malted and mashed grains used to brew beer and whisky. Once the brewery has extracted the sugars from the grains to ferment the beer, they discard the grains. Agrain® sources the spent grains directly from the breweries, working primarily with Danish organic craft breweries.

We process the spent grains into Agrain® Super Grain Flour. Our flours are 100% pure spent grain – no additives. Our process is very gentle, we preserve the delicate aromas and have a lower CO2 emission than organic wheat and rye flour. 

Beer is the 3rd most consumed beverage in the world, second only to water and tea. Worldwide, 200 billion liters of beer are brewed annually, resulting in about 42 million tons of spent grains. 

By upcycling the spent grains from beer and whisky production we give the malted and mashed spent grains a second chance, thus we help to reduce the massive food loss. We offer new tasty and healthy everyday products to the consumers and give everyone the opportunity to take the climate agenda with them in their food-shopping. Agrain® Super Grain Flour is 100% upcycled resources – requiring no land use – in comparison a kilo of regular flour requires approx. 2m2 of land use. 

Agrain® Super Grain Flour is nutrient-dense. 100g of Super Grain Flour contains 20g of protein and 50g of dietary fibers, this is 12 times as much dietary fiber and almost twice the amount of proteins compared to average wheat flours. Adding Agrain® Super Grain Flour to your baking is therefore a nutrient boost!
