Frequently asked questions
Does oat milk contain gluten?
It depends on processing; while oats are naturally gluten-free, they are often cross-contaminated, so look for a certified gluten-free label.
Is it suitable for children?
It is a safe alternative, but should not replace breast milk or infant formula without medical advice due to lower fat content.
Why is it so creamy?
Unlike nuts, oats absorb more water and retain starches, creating a naturally thick emulsion without many additives.
