Sustainability in farming

Farming2x

Tritordeum is a very robust crop:

  • Efficient in capturing nitrogen from soil
  • Resistant to climate change (drought, heat, salinity, anoxia)
  • It withstands fungal diseases (common in cereals)
  • It has a good tillering and re-growth capability
  • It behaves like perennial crops and can regrow for grazing

The grain is produced under contract with local farmers with a full traceability from seed to food Farmers cultivating Tritordeum receive higher incomes per hectare in comparison to other crops

Sustainability in processing

Processing2x

Tritordeum has a serie of characteristics that makes it more efficient in processing

In backing
  • Higher water absorption in dough
  • A high enzymatic activity* allowing to accelerate proofing time
  • Yellow color allows to reduce fats and eggs in recipes
In malting
  • No husk surrounding the grain, allowing higher yield in malting
  • A high enzymatic activity* allowing to accelerate germination time, and use less water

*enzymes are proteins naturally ocuring in cereal that have a specific action when activated.
In the case of Tritordeum, those enzymes allow to reduce complex carbohydrates into simple sugars.
This allows to speed up sugar conversion and fermentation
