Guide to Milk Street For Beginners And Dummies: Every year, it seems as if there is a new dairy-free alternative to milk popping up on our wellness fe

Every year, it seems as if there is a new dairy-free alternative to milk popping up on our wellness feed. A decade ago, it was soy. This year, oat milk and so many in between, including coconut, almond, rice and cashew milk. Lately, however, we've been noticing a new plant-based beverage around the health food store - sesame milk - and it's aiming to dominate 2020.0
"The plant-based beverage market as a whole is hot right now, and sesame seed milk is just another example of it," nutrition consultant Keri Gans, M.S., RDN, CDN, explains.
A group of Chicago friends saw the market potential of sesame milk, which at the time was one of those drinks you had to make at home. After about two years of research, in late 2018, they introduced the first sesame milk line, Hope & Sesame, to the market. They launched with five varieties: original, unsweetened original, vanilla, chocolate and chocolate-hazelnut.
According to Hope & Sesame, their organic seeds are harvested using sustainable farming practices. After selecting the freshest seeds, they process them in their state-of-the-art facilities and fortify them with their proprietary "Sesamein protein" - which is basically their exclusive plant-based blend of organic sesame protein concentrate, organic pea protein concentrate and organic natural flavor.
