Harm score: 1 (Natural substances)
Oat milk, better known as Oat Milk, is a plant-based alternative to conventional cow's milk. It is made from oat flakes or whole oats, which are first soaked in water until soft. Everything is then blended and the strained liquid is the resulting oat milk. It has a creamy texture and a slightly sweet taste. Oat milk is popular among vegans and lactose intolerant people because it contains no dairy products.
Oat milk is often used in a variety of food products. It is a popular beverage for making teas and coffees, especially in cafes that offer different milk alternatives. Its characteristic flavour is also very effective in bakery and confectionery products such as bread, cakes and muffins. Oat milk is often used in healthy smoothies, where it replaces conventional milk and adds a specific flavour to the drink. Oat milk is also often used in cosmetics for its beneficial properties for the skin.
