Spent grains are residues from the brewing of cereals. And today we have decided to answer some of your questions so that you have all the information you need to better understand spent grains!

• We find alcohol in spent grains: FALSE, in fact spent grains are produced after the first stage of beer production, that is once the cereals have soaked in hot water. We recover the spent beer (i.e. the part of the cereals not used) before the brewers go to the fermentation stage, therefore before the alcohol in the beer is created. Do not hesitate to consult our FAQ for more information.
• You can only cook sweets with spent grain flour: FALSE , spent grain flour is suitable for both sweet and savory dishes. With our 3 flours, you can vary the flavors. For example, you will be able to make vegan burgers with our brown spent grain flour and then make a marbled cake with this same flour. You can also use spent grain flour to concoct your sweet or savory dishes. In addition, we have developed macaroni with blond spent grain flour, allowing you to make any kind of recipe containing pasta.
• Grain flour replaces conventional flour: FALSE, grain flour is a complement to so-called more conventional flour. Use 10-30% spent grain flour in the overall mix. And if you are more for gluten-free recipes, you will have to use less than 50% with gluten-free flour such as rice flour. As you can see, in each of our sweet recipes , we use spent grain flour in addition to another flour.
• Spent grains are not recycled: FALSE , spent grains can be recycled in different ways such as composting, methanation or even animal feed. Some spent grain recovery sectors are developing, we find human food with delicious Maltivor products, cosmetic products, or even the development of biomaterials. The revalorization of spent grain is in the process of strong development and Maltivor fights every day in order not to waste a crumb while enjoying something good and healthy!
• We find the taste of beer: FALSE , we find the taste of cereals used for beer, such as barley, wheat or rye. The blond is therefore cereal, the amber is caramelized and then the dark is roasted, even cocoa. For more details, you will find the flavor offered in the description of each flour available on the site.
