Ingredients

The oats are considered to have added sugars.

Oats are broken down by enzymes to create oat base that is used in milks. This process creates simple sugars which is what gives many oatmilks their signature sweet taste. These simple sugars created through enzymatic processing are required to be labeled as added sugars.

We use natural flavors in a number of our products to create a more consistent flavor experience across crop years and growing regions, and all the natural flavors are strictly vegan. Although the exact materials are proprietary, using the essential oils, essences and extracts derived from plants (including fruits, vegetables, bark, seeds, nuts, leaves, roots, bark) and microbes help us to assure the consistent, concentrated flavor in our products. We embrace that Foragers have a broad range of dietary objectives, constraints, and concerns. That’s why we also make plain versions of our major products that contain no natural flavors, including Cashewmilk, Cashewmilk Yogurt, Drinkable Cashewmilk Yogurt.

The live cultures/probiotics are added after the product has been pasteurized.

Depending on the product, we use a blend of up to of six different probiotics: S. THERMPOHILUS, L. BULGARICUS, L. ACIDOPHILUS, BIFIDUS, L. LACTIS, L. PLANTARUM.

Our Drinkable Cashewmilk Yogurt products contain in excess of 1 billion live active cultures per serving at the time of manufacture. This culture count meets or exceeds industry accepted criteria such as “Live & Active Cultures” seal program of the National Yogurt Association (NYA).

Studies have shown that including live & active probiotics into your diet can have positive impacts on gut health and overall wellness.

Probiotics are live, beneficial bacteria that reside in your
digestive tract (aka “gut”). They help to balance out the mix
between helpful and harmful bacteria in your body, which is
known as your “microbiome”.
In order for probiotics to work effectively, they need the help
of prebiotics. Prebiotics are a type of fiber and they serve as fuel
or “food” for probiotics.

Cashews delicate flavor and silky texture make them better for creating a neutral and creamy dairy- like taste experience. We searched far and wide to find cashews that met our very strict standards: organic, ethically sourced and sustainably farmed. We found them in Vietnam and the Ivory Coast where they don’t need irrigated water, an increasingly precious resource, to thrive. We work with a small group of farmers who care deeply about their workers and about producing the best cashews possible.
