What we do
We’re radically transforming the processing of crops.
Too often crops are harvested to extract a single component while the remaining material is downgraded and sold for animal feed.
We help you turn waste into opportunity using Total Crop Utilization™ (TCU™), our consulting and licensing program that offers expertise in the ingredients market, food science and process engineering development delivering new and nutritious ingredients.
It’s upcycling on a grand scale, highly sustainable and offers significant financial benefits to our partners.
Company's story
Our Specialty
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.

Our story
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.
