Barley-based ingredients
EverGrain, a sustainable ingredient company, is introducing protein and fiber barley-based ingredients for food, including bread.
EverGrain utilizes saved grain from brewing to transform the circularly sourced barley into nutrient-rich ingredients.
The barley-based protein and fiber ingredients have the following benefits in these application categories:
*	 Bread: Increases specific volume and moistens crumb
compared to wholemeal flour; promotes superior machinability and consistency of dough; lowers net carbohydrates
and predicted GI
*	 Pizza Crust: Improves on the whole-wheat pizza experience with strengthened mouthfeel; easy to integrate into
