British company Supplant says that processing wheat stalks to produce flour can increase the profitability of the crop by about 33 percent per unit area, and the quality of such products is not inferior to pure grain flour, reports World of NAN.
When wheat is grown, the stalks, which make up the majority of the crop by weight, are usually discarded or sent to the livestock sector. However, the company's experts saw new opportunities in these stalks. The new flour blend uses wheat grains, like traditional flour, but also includes stalks.
The flour produced in this way does not differ in appearance, taste and characteristics. It is similar to traditional wheat flour, but it has 25 percent fewer calories, six times more fiber and fewer net carbohydrates. In addition, processing the stalks allows producers to increase the yield of useful, value-added products per unit area.
