Nondairy milk, milk substitute, vegan milk, nut milk, milked nuts – whatever you call it, worldwide interest in these cow-free beverages has been on a meteoric rise for the past few decades. As health-conscious shoppers, chefs, and foodies explore the variety of options now available at even mainstream supermarkets, a whole dictionary of names has popped up. At Sanlinx, we like to simply call it “plant milk.”

The reason? While words like nondairy, substitute, and vegan bring to mind the exclusion or replacement of foods, “plant” simply and broadly includes all members of the kingdom Plantae that can be pulverized with water to create a tasty drink.

We believe that plant milks are more than just a dairy substitute or upper-class trend. They’re a whole category of delicious drinks that showcase a world of nut, grain, and legume flavors, while offering great health benefits. Whether you’re enjoying a cool glass of rice milk, infusing fresh almonds into your baking with almond milk, or dishing up an authentic bowl of vegetable ramen with soy milk, plant milks are here to bring lively flavor to the table.
