As more and more of us are beginning to embrace healthier living and sustainability, we’re seeing a pretty big shift towards plant-based milk. But while there are plenty of options for vegan milk, not all of them are produced as naturally as you’d think! Many of the popular options today, such as almond milk or oat, have oil added during the production process.
But don't worry, there are plenty of delicious, natural, and healthy options out there! Today, we’re excited to show you how we make our sunflower milk from the whole kernel to the cup, and how our vegan milk embraces nature every step of the way.
All Natural Vegan Milk, From Sunflower to Kernel
1. Harvesting the Sunflower Seeds
Our process starts in the sun-drenched fields where sunflowers thrive. Grown with care, our sunflowers are sourced from Organic Certified farms dedicated to sustainable agriculture. The quality of our sunflower milk starts with these high-quality seeds, rich in natural goodness.
2. Removing the Shell
After harvesting, the sunflower seeds undergo a de-shelling process. By removing the shell, we can make sure that only the most nutrient-dense part of the seed—the kernel—is used. This process is super important, as it allows us to keep all the natural nutrients without the extra help of added oils or other artificial enhancers.
3. Roasting the Kernels
Next, we roast! By roasting the sunflower kernels, we can bring out their best qualities and help preserve essential nutrients that transfer to our vegan milk. This process brings out a richer, deeper flavor profile that makes the final product taste great.
4. Milling the Roasted Kernels
Once roasted, the kernels are milled to create a butter-like consistency, similar to your favorite peanut butter but with all the unique benefits of sunflower seeds that anyone can enjoy. This buttery texture is packed with fiber, protein, and natural oils, and offers a wholesome alternative to other plant-based milks that often lose nutrients during the process of soaking and straining.
5. Blending the Seed Butter
Lastly, we blend the sunflower seed butter with purified water. This blending process transforms the thick, nutrient-rich butter into a smooth and creamy milk base. This step helps us ensure a perfect consistency that maintains all the benefits of the sunflower seeds.
Discover the Benefits of Our Sunflower Milk
Now that we’ve taken a dive into how we make our sunflower milk, let’s review a few of the key benefits that set it apart:
- Absence of Added Oils: Our sunflower milk achieves a rich, creamy texture without relying on added oils, unlike many other vegan milks. This ensures you get a smooth milk without compromising on health benefits.
- Superior Nutritional Content: Because it’s made from the whole kernel, our sunflower milk retains essential nutrients often lost in other dairy-free alternatives. Enjoy the natural fiber, protein, and oils along with high levels of vitamin E, copper, zinc, and selenium.
- Health and Sustainability: By preserving the whole kernel, our sunflower milk isn’t just a substitute, but a better option for those seeking health and sustainability. Perfect for vegans, lactose-intolerant individuals, or anyone who loves the taste and benefits of sunflower seeds.
