When you need to overcome the typical challenges of adding grains to your next beverage, our Beverage-Ready Grains are there for you.
Grains can deliver desired benefits like flavor and clean label functionality. Plus, they are familiar favorites with consumers. But some grain ingredients leave behind a gritty mouthfeel experience, making them less than ideal for your beverage applications.
Thanks to our unique process, our Beverage-Ready Grains deliver something different. Now, you can add the benefits of grains to your next product without the gritty texture trouble.
Each grain we use undergoes a mechanical (non-enzymatic or non-chemical) process that shatters the tough cell wall and liberates the highly soluble matrix of nutrients, creating a free-flowing hydrocolloid-like material. The gritty sensation of these grains is greatly reduced, which delivers an exceptional texture and flavor experience to your functional product.
Our beverage-ready grains are ideal inclusions for formulators seeking to improve the taste and texture of their plant protein sources and replace gums, fats and oils in bev-erage products with clean label hydrocolloids.
You can include Beverage-Ready Grains in applications like:
AncienTrim™ is a formulation-friendly powder made from these five ancient grains: amaranth, buckwheat, millet, chia, and quinoa. Consumer interest in the benefits of ancient grains is growing with 44% of US consumers reporting purchasing products that contain ancient grains because they are healthier.1
Created with six organic, healthy grains — oats, amaranth, buckwheat, chia, millet and quinoa — ModCarb® provides a real advantage for athletes in training, dieters who want to avoid sudden cravings, or for anyone who experiences energy dips during their typical daily routine.
Nutrim® is a beverage-ready oat bran powder originally developed by the USDA as a means of incorporating the health benefits of oats into food and beverage applications. Nutrim® is easily dispersed in solution, has a neutral taste, and remains stable across a broad range of pH and baking temperatures.
QuinoaTrim™ is a natural quinoa powder product unlike any other on the market. Unsurpassed smooth texture and a nutty, chocolatey flavor profile makes QuinoaTrim™ ideal for infant foods, plant proteins, ready-to-mix beverages, nutrition bars and baked goods, helping you bring on-trend flavor and texture to these popular applications.
98% of Americans do not consume the USDA-recommended amount of whole grains.
