Gluten-free brownies can be prepared with a variety of alternative flour products but Hudson Valley Cold Pressed Oils favors the use of sunflower meal, a by-product that comes from extracting the oil from sunflower seeds. The brand's Gluten-Free Sunflower Brownie Mix is made with just a few simple ingredients, including sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, vanilla powder and salt, alongside the aforementioned sunflower flour. To prepare a batch of gluten-free brownies at home, consumers need only add a few other fresh ingredients like eggs, butter and water.
While Hudson Valley Cold Pressed Oils is able to make a variety of new products from by-products that come from making its own oils, start-ups are creating entire businesses out of repurposing goods from the food and beverage industry that would otherwise go to waste.
