High Fibre Wheat set to enter Australian market
Allied Pinnacle has announced exclusively licensed patents for High Fibre Wheat in Australia.
The Australian partnership is with Arista Cereals, a joint venture between CSIRO and French farmer-led cooperative Limagrain.
High Fibre Wheat is a natural grown wheat developed and farmed in Australia. It is high in amylose, meaning the resulting flour contains six times more fibre than standard wheat flour without compromising taste or texture. It is set to enter the Australian market in 2023, available exclusively through Allied Pinnacle.
The result of 20 years of global research and development, the wheat is currently grown by wheat farmers across Australia.
It delivers benefits relating to both the amount of fibre and the type of fibre. The naturally higher fibre content is delivered through conventional breeding to provide a more resistant starch, a prebiotic fibre that contains a host of benefits.
David Pitt, Allied Pinnacle CEO, said the wheat can help answer demands for healthier products that don’t require any new eating habits.
The Australian Dietary Guidelines recommend Australians consume a variety of foods from the five food groups, including grain foods of mostly wholegrain and high cereal fibre varieties.
Robyn Murray, Allied Pinnacle General Manager Innovation, said High Fibre Wheat is a natural way to increase fibre intake, which could benefit the grain food industry.
High Fibre Wheat products are already available in the US and Japanese markets, and are currently being developed in European markets.
On the Australian partnership, Arista CEO Eric Vaschalde said, “Following the introduction of this High Fibre Wheat in the USA, Japan and Europe, I am delighted to announce a long-term partnership in Australia, home of our shareholder CSIRO. Thanks to Allied Pinnacle, High Fibre Wheat flour will be soon available to the Australian market. Consumers will now be able to enjoy the benefits of increased fibre in their favourite white bread, using only wheat, with no compromise to taste.”
