As global temperatures rise, the risk of food shortages and malnutrition caused by reductions in crop yields also rises. Our ability to process and recover all the nutrients from grains and seeds, rather than just one, is one solution, more sustainable than many other technologies being explored. The nutrients are already here, harvested, so let’s apply our processing technology and expertise to extract them and create nutritious and functional ingredients to help feed the world.

Using Total Crop Utilization™ (TCU™), our process technology and expertise platform, you can radically convert waste material into premium ingredients, with maximum nutritional and financial yields.

We know process engineering and how to extract proteins and other nutrients from “waste” streams.

We know food science and how ingredients are applied to food systems.

We understand and follow the market for ingredients.

This is Total Crop Utilization™ (TCU™), our service and consulting program that develops and commercializes exciting new plant ingredients (proteins and more!).

Our Total Crop Utilization™ team consults with clients and designs, licenses, and implements novel processing technologies that disrupt traditional crop processing. Our team is proud to have developed and commercialized a process for upcycling barley protein from Brewers’ Saved Grain, now being scaled by our partner. We continue this mission, introducing innovative processing to the world’s food industry with sunflower processing being our current focus.
