— and there’s a new disruptor emerging: Sesame Milk.
Hope and Sesame® Sesamemilk has undergone 5 years and millions of dollars of intensive research and experimentation to craft an award-winning formula that outshines other plant-based milks on the market, garnering critical acclaim and numerous accolades.
Nutrition: Comparable to dairy with up to 8X more protein than almond milk and 1/2 the sugar of oat milk.
Sustainability: Using 95% less water than almond milk and 75% less than oat; sesame thrives in arid climates.
Performance: Froths, foams, and steams as well as oat milk in barista applications.
Oat milk went from $45M to a $6B global subcategory in just seven years (101% CAGR)³ — that’s how quickly the plant milk space can evolve. Sesame milk has all the hallmarks of doing the same, representing the next stage of plant milk evolution, starting NOW. Consumer Reports thinks so too.
