Circular economy in Brussels: the first bread made with brewer’s spent grain
The BruXSels is the first Brussels bread made with brewer’s spent grain. The idea was launched by La Wetterenoise, a bakery located in Forest. To make the BruXSels bread dough, La Wetterenoise uses the by-products from the beer brewing process at the Brussels Beer Project.
A good example of circular economy in Belgium.
« The Brussels Beer Project uses fermented bread to make beer. I reuse their waste to make bread again. The loop is complete and everything remains on Brussels, » says Charly Löwy, the creator of BruXsels and director of La Wetterenoise.
Some specifics about the BruXSels
The secret lies in its texture and taste, said Charly Löwy.
« It’s a new taste. And it feels different when you chew as well. The BruXsels is healthy because it contains a lot of protein and fiber. It goes well with either salty or sweet. »
