Mediterranean cereal awarded best better-for-you ingredient of the year

Tritordeum has won the first award in the category Best Better-for-You Ingredient of the Year at the Food Matters Live Awards 2018.

Tritordeum is a new Mediterranean cereal with real benefits for the farmer, the consumer and the environment that has come to stay. It is considered a healthy alternative to wheat because of its nutritional, agronomical and organoleptic benefits. Its grain is suitable for a wide range of cereal based foods and beverages (bread, biscuits, pasta, pizza, beer, etc).

Within the framework of Food Matters Live, these awards are an excellent opportunity to recognise and reward the latest and greatest innovations in the nutrition, food and beverage sectors. A panel of 24 expert judges from across the food and drink industry assessed and tasted each product, and the winners were announced at the ceremony that took place 21st November in Excel, London.

In this second year of the Food Matters Live Awards, the jury has selected the mediterranean cereal from the Spanish start-up company Agrasys as a solution that can help manufacturers create better-for-you food and drink products. Another five finalists were selected in the same category.

The Agrasys managing director Pilar Barceló collected the iconic trophy on behalf of the company, together with Verónica Guerra, communication and marketing manager. "This is very important recognition for our cereal and the best letter of introduction for our entry to the UK market", said Ms Barceló at the ceremony.

The Awards recognise important new food products in a range of 12 categories, from innovative product development and ground-breaking science and technology through to healthy eating initiatives and sustainable practices. The 13 selected winners reflect the boom in nutritious and environmentally-friendly products and ingredients, as well as trends towards vegan and free-from foods.
