Last year we stocked Upcycled Grain Project NZ’s Upcycled Crackers and there is no wonder why we’ve stocked up on this range again!

These crackers were the catalyst of the ‘Upcycled’ adventure. These amazing wholesome spent brewers grain were screaming RESCUE ME! So, the chefs at Upcycled Grain Project made them the hero of these delicious, nutritious crackers.

Whether they hold pride of place on the fanciest of cheese platters, are the ideal scoop for dipping in hummus or simply snacked on solo, these spent grain crackers not only taste great but are a delicious source of fibre.

Sample them at Thorndon Farmer’s Market and Harbourside Market this weekend and tell us they’re not worth the hype… we dare you.

Do you know what this is? It’s your next stop on your sustainability journey…

Upcycled Grain Project NZ's 100% spent brewers grain Flour - a by-product of the brewing process, and Upcycled Grain Project’s hero ingredient.

Apart from the upcycled benefits it is a high fibre product that can be used in baking (replacing about ¼ - 1/3 of regular flour) for a denser, more flavoursome and nutritious end product.

Delicious. Nutritious. Sustainable.

Take a look yourself at Thorndon Farmers' Market and Harbourside Market this weekend!

Rutherford & Meyer is a proud Wellington business that began in 1996 from a desire to utilise surplus fruit to make fruit pastes. In 2020, the team discovered Spent Brewers Grain - a nutrient rich, sustainable ingredient source for crackers and other snacks - and the Upcycled Grain Project was born!
