Vetch from Field to Food, Feed, Malt, and Seed.

Vetch takes a long and detailed journey before it reaches your table. From planting and growing to harvesting and processing, turning this essential grain into food or beverage products requires significant time and effort. If you’ve ever noticed different types of Vetch on store shelves, the main distinction comes down to Vetch processing. After harvest, Vetch undergoes a series of processing stages that shape the final product.

VETCH PROCESSING
