Have you ever heard of the drèche?
Dregs are a by-product of beer production. Beer is a fermented beverage whose starch (sugar) has been transformed by yeast, leaving only dregs, a fibrous and nutritious substance that is partially fermentable. Recovering the dregs kills two birds with one stone. On the one hand, it's an ecological act and, on the other, it's a source of protein and prebiotic fibre. It's worth noting that dregs come from the wheat, barley and corn used in beer production. It is therefore a product containing gluten and FODMAPs.
Low FODMAP alternative:
Low substitutions in FODMAP are on offer. In spite of everything, be aware of your symptoms and the recommendations your nutritionist.
Express chocolate energy bars
Ingredients
- 1 t. (250 ml) almonds, cashews or walnuts (you can mix all 3)
- ⅓ t. (80 ml) of spent grain (or psyllium)
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) water*
- ¼ t. (60 ml) cocoa bean nibs
- ¼ t. (60 ml) hemp seeds, shelled
- ¼ t. (60 ml) cranberries, dried, unsweetened
- ¼ t. (60 ml) coconut, grated and unsweetened
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) cocoa powder
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 10 dates
Instructions
- In a food processor, grind the walnuts with the spent grains and water.
- Add cocoa beans, hemp seeds, cranberries, cocoa, coconut and salt. Mix again until smooth.
- With the food processor running, add the dates one at a time and mix well.
- Line a loaf tin with parchment paper and pour in the mixture.
- Sprinkle a few hemp seeds and shredded coconut to decorate the top of the bars.
- Cover with another sheet of parchment paper and press down firmly. Refrigerate for about 1 hour before unmolding, then slice the bars (it's a good idea to leave some weight, such as large cans, on the bars during refrigeration).
- Wrap bars individually and store in a cool, dry place like the fridge. You can also keep them in the freezer and take them with you on long hikes.
Notes
- Depending on the freshness of your dates, add up to ¼ cup more water if the mixture is too dry.
Low substitutions in FODMAP
- Choose walnuts
- Replace drèche with psyllium
- By making the above substitutions and keeping to a serving size of 1/12, the recipe is considered low in FODMAPs.
