BiaSol: Delicious nutrition from upcycled food waste

Siblings Niamh and Ruairi Dooley take a waste product from the brewing industry and upcycle it into a new food that is delicious and nutritious

BiaSol founders Niamh and Ruairi Dooley 

“WE’RE in the food industry — if we didn’t have taste as number one, it would be a harder sell. When you have something that tastes great, it’s much easier.”

Niamh Dooley, the co-founder of Tullamore-based BiaSol knows that flavour is the key to getting people to try her products, a range of nutritious milled grains made from a by-product of the brewing process. Working with Irish microbreweries, they take the grains left over after making beer and turn them into food that is high in fibre and protein.
