Hello,
I would like to reflect on the quality of plant-based beverages.
If we look at the composition of nut milks, they have everything in a nice proportion and resemble classic milk.
Considering the production of milk from grains (rice, oats, buckwheat...), it actually seems like water with flour to me. The nutrient content is also not very good, and with a price tag around 60 CZK, it's truly worth pondering. Do you also recommend preferring nut milks?
Thank you very much.
You're considering this correctly. Nut-based beverages are indeed nutritionally richer than grain-based ones, making the price/performance ratio more favorable. However, let's not completely dismiss grain-based beverages, as some products contain a significant amount of beta-glucans, which is valuable information considering their impact on the immune system (oat products are supposed to be the best in this regard).
