ReGrained (1)

With the rise in craft brewing has come an increase in waste produced during the brewing process; roughly a pound of spent grain is left behind for every six pack of brewed beer. ReGrained is a mission-driven food-tech company that is transforming brewing waste and byproducts into edible, tasty ingredients and products. In partnership with the USDA, it has developed patent-pending technology to rescue, process, and stabilize wet food manufacturing byproducts. The company plans to expand beyond its first product line of snack bars and incorporate this SuperGrain+ product into pretzels, breads, cookies, cereals, chips, and more. ReGrained is also currently pursuing co-branded ingredient/product development with several consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands and manufacturers, allowing them to incorporate SuperGrain+ into other products.
