What are spent grains?

Spent grains are the nutritious by-product of the beer brewing process. After extracting the sugars needed to make beer, the remaining grain still contains valuable fiber, protein, and flavour. Rather than going to waste, we upcycle these grains into delicious, healthy products like granola, laddoos, and crackers.

Why upcycle spent grains?

By upcycling spent grains, we prevent food by-products from being discarded, reducing overall food waste. It’s an environmentally friendly practice that supports sustainability while offering nutritious and flavourful food options.

How do you use spent grains at Saving Grains?

At Saving Grains, we work closely with breweries to harvest spent grain and transform it into a variety of products such as granola, energy laddoos, crackers, and more. Each of our products highlights the nutritional benefits of spent grain, bringing sustainable snacking to your table.

Are your products alcoholic?

No, our products contain no alcohol. The brewing process uses the sugars from the grains to make beer, leaving behind the nutrient-rich grain itself, which we then upcycle into food products.
