Grain milk

Grain milk is a milk substitute made from fermented grain or from flour. Grain milk can be made from oats, spelt, rye and einkorn wheat.

Grain milk looks very similar to cow's milk. Its nutritional content is quite similar.

Grain milk is low in saturated fat and contains no lactose, which is good for the many people who are lactose intolerant. Grain milk also lacks casein, a milk protein which some studies have shown to release histamine and increase mucus production in the body.

Flavored grain milk can come in plain, vanilla, chocolate, seaberry or a variety of other flavors. Some have added vitamin B12 and calcium.

Obviously the environmental impact of grain milk is even less than that of soy milk in regions where grain is available but soybeans are not.
