About Oat creamer

Oat creamer is a plant-based dairy alternative made from oats, water, and often additional ingredients like oils, sweeteners, or thickeners to provide a creamy texture. It originated as part of the surge in plant-based products in Sweden and has become popular worldwide due to the growing demand for vegan and lactose-free options. Nutritionally, oat creamer is lower in fat than many dairy creamers and provides modest amounts of fiber from oats. Fortified versions often include calcium, vitamin D, and B12, making it a nutrient-enhanced option for those avoiding dairy. The sugar content can vary depending on the product, so reading labels is recommended. It is typically lower in protein than soy or almond alternatives but remains a versatile choice for coffee, tea, or cooking applications.

Health Benefits

• Rich in beta-glucans, a type of soluble fiber that supports heart health by lowering LDL cholesterol levels.
• Fortified versions provide vitamin D and calcium, essential for bone health and immune function.
• Naturally lactose-free, making it suitable for individuals with lactose intolerance or dairy sensitivity.
