Not yet, but we are actively working on it. We are working with pouch manufacturers to create a more sustainable and completely recyclable pouch but it will take time. We do take comfort in the fact that our products ship without water and, therefore, have less of a carbon footprint than heavy cartons and jars.

Yes. All of our products are certified by Orthodox Union with the exception of our Barista Base which is certified by Kosher Australia.

We use as few ingredients as possible without any binding agents. As a result, separation and firmness can occur in our pouches. This is common when pouches sit in the cupboard for a while without being used. Knead them well to mix and soften. Mike, our co-founder, has found that blowing a little air into the pouch and then continuing to knead helps mix the contents.

It takes a few tries to ensure you’re eyeballing it to your liking but before you know it you’ll find your squeeze™.

We don’t like the term ‘proprietary process’ because it’s jargon that unnecessarily complicates how we make our Milk Bases. The truth is, we spent years making hundreds of mistakes before figuring out how to deskin, dehydrate and mill nuts and seedlings to allow you to make fresh and tasty plant milks in the comfort of your kitchen. The process is special. It is unique. But we’ll keep the lawyers out of it and forgo the use of the term ‘proprietary process’ even though we have one.

Australian Food Standards DO NOT recognise Oats as a Gluten Free grain. However, Planut Milk Oat Base is certified in the US by the Gluten Free Certification Organisation (GFCO) and meets the threshold of less than 10ppm. Our Gluten Free Oats have been sourced from suppliers that ensure that there is No Gluten contamination throughout the entire supply chain. In addition, we perform regular testing using an external lab to validate that our product is meeting the required standard.
