What are plant milks?

BABABAM
About this episode

Plant milks have been all the rage for a number of years now, and they’re gradually taking up more and more space on supermarket shelves, to the detriment of animal milks.

In 2020, British shoppers spent £100m more on plant milks compared to the previous year, according to research from Mintel. That was a rise of over 30%, demonstrating their growing popularity. They are considered a viable alternative for people who are allergic or intolerant to lactose. They often have a sweet taste, making them a popular breakfast option. 

But these products aren’t really milks, are they? Are they really better from a nutritional point of view? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
