Everfresh is one of the UK's oldest sprouted grain bakeries. In collaboration with The Food Incubator and Celtic Bakers, Everfresh intends to create a variety of healthy sprouted-grain snack bars that can be consumed more easily by individuals with digestive issues (e.g. IBS, Crohn's disease) that typically struggle to find healthy, diet-friendly snacks. The consortium also intends to create a sprouted-grain inclusion/blend that can be used in a variety of baked goods by other bakers. Sprouted-grains have a strong flavour profile negating the need for added salt/sugar, enabling the creation of highly nutritious products.Everfresh's knowledge of sprouted-grains, coupled with The Food Incubator's capabilities of and facilities for thermal processing (retorting), alongside Celtic Bakers' expertise on baking inclusions and food production has the potential to introduce a range of completely disruptive, socially-beneficial snack products and baked goods. Retorting is the heating of low-acid foods prone to microbial spoilage in hermetically sealed containers to extend their shelf-life.All of Everfresh's baked goods have no preservatives, no dairy, no eggs, no added sweeteners or refined sugars, Everfresh's products are ideal for those who are wheat intolerant, vegetarian, vegan or just looking for a really simple and pure way of eating.Organic food production is very important to Everfresh and so is sourcing the best quality ingredients and then keeping the processing requirements to a minimum (i.e. low carbon-footprint). Everfresh is committed to protecting the environment for future generations and as a result will not consider making products that are not part of a sustainable or organic food chain.This project also has potential sustainability and low-emission outputs. During conventional heating in an oven, an exceptional amount of heat is lost up the flue or when a door is opened at the end of a cycle. In retorting, interestingly, the steam that has been used to heat the product serves as a secondary process in helping to cool the product. When the steam is "collapsed" at the end of the cycle it is then turned into condensate, in effect water, that is then used to circulate through the heat exchanger where it cools and then is used to cycle over the product to bring its temperature down. This represents a significant saving in water.

Everfresh是英国最古老的发芽谷物面包店之一。Everfresh与The Food Incubator和Celtic Bakers合作，打算创造各种健康的发芽谷物小食棒，这些小食棒更容易被消化问题（例如肠易激综合征、克罗恩病）的人食用，这些人通常很难找到健康、饮食友好的零食。该联盟还打算创造一种发芽的谷物混合物，可以被其他面包师用于各种烘焙食品。发芽谷物具有强烈的风味，不需要添加盐/糖，使高营养产品的创造成为可能。Everfresh对发芽谷物的了解，加上食品孵化器的能力和设备的热加工（蒸馏），以及凯尔特面包师在烘焙和食品生产方面的专业知识，有可能引入一系列完全颠覆性的，对社会有益的零食产品和烘焙食品。蒸煮是在密封容器中加热易受微生物腐蚀的低酸食品，以延长其保质期。Everfresh的所有烘焙食品都不含防腐剂、乳制品、鸡蛋、甜味剂或精制糖，Everfresh的产品非常适合那些小麦不耐症、素食者、纯素食者或只想寻找一种简单纯净的饮食方式的人。有机食品生产对Everfresh来说非常重要，因此采购最优质的原料，然后将加工要求降至最低（即低碳足迹）。Everfresh致力于为子孙后代保护环境，因此不会考虑生产不属于可持续或有机食物链的产品。该项目还具有潜在的可持续性和低排放产出。在烤炉的常规加热过程中，当烟道或在循环结束时打开门时，会损失大量的热量。有趣的是，在蒸馏过程中，用于加热产品的蒸汽充当了帮助冷却产品的二次过程。当蒸汽在循环结束时“崩溃”时，它就会变成冷凝水，实际上是水，然后被用来通过热交换器循环，在那里冷却，然后被用来在产品上循环以降低其温度。这代表了显著的节水。
