Potato milk is a new hit among the products of proper nutrition

Now it has become fashionable to replace ordinary milk with unusual alternatives. And it is consumed not only by vegetarians, but also by fans of healthy eating. There are a large number of different types of vegetable milk, but the potato drink promises to be a real hit. There are already dozens of recipes for making miracle milk on the Internet, and a Swedish company has put it on the production stream. Learn about the benefits of potato milk from our material.

Potato milk may not seem like the most delicious thing, but it was the same with oatmeal and soy milk. Nevertheless, they have become very popular. They say that the potato drink has a pleasant creamy taste and perfectly complements coffee.

To grow potatoes, you don't need as much land as for other plants, from which milk is now made. Thus, potato milk becomes more affordable. So far, only one Swedish company is engaged in the production of milk from potatoes — DIG. She plans in the near future to establish the supply of the drink not only to Europe, but also to China and the USA.

The factory version of potato milk from DIG contains many other additives and vitamins to improve the taste.

Despite the success of the idea of potato milk, it is not worth guaranteeing a high level of sales. Those who have tried the new product note a salty aftertaste, which is not liked by everyone. In addition, there is not enough protein in the drink, compared to soy or oat milk.

Those who want to try potato milk can make it themselves. There are already dozens of recipes on the Internet for how to cook it at home. Basically, you just need to cook the potatoes, then whisk in a blender with the water in which it was cooked, strain and add water to achieve the desired consistency.

Nevertheless, potato milk still has the main advantage - savings. Potatoes yield twice as much grain crops, do not require abundant watering and do not occupy a large territory. The new drink will have to compete with other types of vegetable milk, but it obviously has a chance to become a new PP hit.

But everyone can make it in their kitchen. Boil and peel the potatoes. Mix the mashed potato pulp, the water that remains after cooking, tartar, a pinch of salt, processed almonds, vanilla and sweetener and whisk for 5-7 minutes or until smooth. Carefully strain through cheesecloth and drain the filtered potato milk. Store in the refrigerator.
