In recent years, oat milk has surged in popularity, known for its creamy texture and eco-friendly production. However, as the market grows, so does the complexity of its products.
One term that often confuses consumers is "concentrated oat milk" We'll explore what concentrated oat milk is, why it can be negative, and why MYOM Original premix stands out as a better choice.
What is Concentrated Oat Milk?
Concentrated oat milk is created by taking a larger volume of liquid oat base and reducing it to a smaller, more concentrated form. This process might sound beneficial, but it has several drawbacks. For starters, the concentration process can strip away some of the natural nutrients and flavours, potentially requiring artificial additives to compensate.
MYOM Oat Milk
Interestingly, Trading Standards have ruled that our MYOM product cannot be labelled as a concentrate because it has, in fact, not a reduction from a larger volume. MYOM Original Oat is the base premix to make oat milk by adding water. This distinction is very important. A base product like our Oat Original premix is designed to provide a balanced, nutritious, and authentic oat milk experience without the volume and weight associated with ready to drink oat milk in cartons.
The Drawbacks of Concentrated Oat Milk
-
Nutrient Loss: The concentration process can lead to the loss of essential nutrients. This means that concentrated oat milk might not offer the same health benefits as non-concentrated alternatives.
-
Added Costs: Concentrated oat milk is often more expensive for consumers.
- Artificial Additives: To compensate for the loss of natural flavours and nutrients, concentrated oat milk often includes artificial additives, making it less appealing to health-conscious consumers.
