Susgrainable Health Foods Inc

Susgrainable Health Foods Inc. is a Vancouver-based social enterprise dedicated to fighting food waste through the “upcycling” of brewer’s spent grain. While deeply connected to their local British Columbia community through farmers’ markets and partnerships, they operate a robust e-commerce platform that ships their high-fiber baking mixes and flours nationwide across Canada. Their mission is to transform a nutritious by-product of the craft beer industry into easy-to-use, family-friendly food staples.

Susgrainable’s entire business model revolves around the circular economy, specifically upcycling potential food waste.

• Rescued Ingredients: They partner with local craft breweries to rescue “spent grain” (malt residue), preventing it from entering landfills where it would generate methane.
• Resource Efficiency: By dehydrating and milling this grain into Upcycled Barley Flour, they create a high-fiber, high-protein ingredient that requires no new land or water to produce.
• Local Production: Sourcing and processing occur locally in British Columbia (with expansion into Alberta), reducing transportation emissions associated with raw material acquisition.
