The strongest new wind blowing in 2022
Consumer demand for plant-based milk is increasing day by day. Besides the familiar organic plant-based milks such as: soy milk, walnut milk, now there is a new product that is very popular with vegans, which is potato milk.
Potato milk is low-carbon, vegan-friendly, and free of lactose, soy, gluten, and nuts (some of the most common allergens). This is said to have a smooth creamy texture and mild sweetness – making it an ideal substitute for milk in coffees, cereals and baked goods.
The now-fashionable potato milk comes from Sweden, where Professor Eva Tornberg has developed a unique plant-based milk production technology to help blend potatoes and canola oil in an emulsion. Potato milk usually comes in three flavors: the regular original. The unsweetened, and the barista, which is creamier than the other versions.
Why focus on promoting potato milk production?
Proven Sustainability
Today, many consumers are looking for delicious, affordable plant-based milks that are environmentally friendly. Sustainably produced and free of harmful substances. There will never be a ‘perfect’ plant-based milk, but potato milk is now pretty close to emissions, land and water requirements. Potatoes don’t need much soil or water to grow!
In fact, growing potatoes is twice as efficient as growing oats in terms of land use, and growing potatoes requires about 56 times less water than growing almonds. In addition, we know that the intensity of greenhouse gas emissions associated with dairy milk production is quite high.
On the other hand, according to research on the development of plant milk, potato milk contains about 75% less carbon, and in the process of cultivation also produces much less CO2 than dairy cows. So potato milk is a worthy product, isn’t it?
Provides an abundance of nutrients
Potatoes are packed with fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and healthy carbohydrates. Often, the way we prepare potatoes is to introduce additional calories, such as cooking with butter, oil, sour cream or other high-calorie toppings that easily make the dish unhealthy.
Potato milk mainly contains water. This is very similar to other plant-based milks. Potatoes usually make up about 6% of potato milk, so there will be a little bit of whole potato in every glass – but not much.
So if you want to get all the good nutrients of potatoes, you’d better put them in the oven with the skin on. Or businesses can talk to WANA’s R&D Team to adjust the amount of pure potatoes in each milk carton according to the needs of the majority of customers.
