how it really works

Why it lasts a year with nothing added

  1. 01

    Soak and stone-grind

    Whole soybeans soak overnight, then get ground with water. The pulp is pressed out. That's the milk.

  2. 02

    Flash-heated, 140°C for 4 seconds

    Ultra-high temperature for a few seconds makes the milk sterile without cooking the taste out of it.

    140°C

  3. 03

    Filled sterile, sealed without air

    The milk goes into sterile pouches in a sterile room. Nothing gets in, so nothing grows. No preservatives needed.

questions

Fair questions.

How can it last 12 months with no preservatives?

Heat and a sealed pouch do the work. The milk is flash-heated to 140°C for about four seconds, which makes it sterile, then filled into sterile pouches with no air. With nothing living inside and nothing able to get in, it keeps until you open it.

Is UHT soy milk less healthy?

The protein stays put through a few seconds of high heat. You may notice a slightly rounder, toastier flavour, but it's the same soy milk.

Do I need to refrigerate it?

Not until you open it. After that, keep it in the fridge and finish within five days.

Are the soybeans organic and non-GMO?

[SOURCING DETAILS]

What about allergens?

It contains soy. Black Sesame also contains sesame. [FACTORY ALLERGEN STATEMENT]
