Design Popcorn

Extruded popcorn mostly consists of whole or crushed corn kernels. Depending on the shape of the die and the process parameters, the popcorn can be produced in the typical shapes "Mushroom" or "Butterfly". The raw extrudates can be seasoned sweet or savory. Then caramel and roasted flavours can be created using infrared heating.

Whole Grain Curls

Production of whole grain flips from whole or crushed, cleaned corn kernels. The product contains all the valuable components of the corn kernel. In opposition to corn curls of semolina, the expansion is slightly less when using wholegrain raw materials. It can also be combined with legumes such as peas, chickpeas, lentils or beans.

Malt Rings / Beersnacks

Extruded malt ring snacks can be made from corn and malt kernels. It is also possible to use beer spent grains, which are produced in large quantities in beer production. Depending on the amount of malt raw materials used, the snacks have a more or less pronounced malty, bitter or charamelous taste and a brownish color.

Legumes Snacks

Extruded legume snacks consist of a high proportion of legumes and small proportions of corn grits or rice grits. The higher the protein content of the raw material mixture, the less the products expand. That is why it makes sense for the taste and the texture to add starchy raw materials. The high-fiber snacks get a naturally special taste from the application with a high percentage of herbs.
