You Oat To Buy Some
Do vegans deserve to enjoy milk chocolate? Of course they do. And do lactose intolerant people deserve to enjoy milk chocolate? You betcha. And what about people who cut down on dairy to deal with issues of inflammation? Do they deserve to enjoy delicious milk chocolate? You’re damn right they do.
That’s what this stuff is for: people who can’t/don’t consume dairy but don’t want that fact to get in the way of their sweet tooth. Also, they’re for people who don’t want a whole bunch of sugar. Because these aren’t just dairy-free; they also don’t have any added sugar. (They’re gluten-free, as well, but the fact that the company advertises this is sort of lame; pretty much all bars of milk chocolate without any crunchy additives are gluten-free.)
How do they achieve this? Well, they use allulose to sweeten and organic whole oat milk to… milkify? In terms of that sweetener, we’ll let you all sound off about that in the comments. Instead, we’re going to use this space to discuss that second thing: the oat milk. Specifically, we’re going to provide a brief lesson on how oat milk comes to be.
The oats we most often see are picked and dried. But once a year, oats in that are still in the field will become engorged with a naturally occurring cream-like substance. Here is what one such engorged oat looks like:
When the oat is like this, the oat milker has two options. They can either milk the oat by hand, like this:
Or with a machine, as shown in this video:
Either way, the oat, when depleted of milk, will look like this:
Interesting, huh? Anyway, buy some of this chocolate and enjoy a sweet treat without all the dairy and sugar!
