Oat and Oat Products

Oats are a nutritious cereal, particularly rich in dietary fiber. Generally speaking, oat-based drinks have a good nutritional profile: they are low in saturated fat, while providing a range of nutrients (dietary fibre, added vitamins and minerals). They allow for variety and therefore have their place within a healthy and balanced diet.

Oat-based drinks naturally contain sugar or can be sugar-free, thanks to a different production process where the enzymatic reaction causing the transformation of starch into sugar is then stopped.

Alpro oat products have a smooth subtle creamy taste, which means they can be used in many occassions: straight from the glass, in hot drinks or over a breakfast bowl. The versatility also means they can be used in many recipes.

How are Alpro Oat Products Made?

Alpro uses hydrolysed oat flour: the oats are ground and made soluble, before being mixed with water. Other ingredients and nutrients, such as calcium and vitamins, can then be added to this base.

Oat drinks either contain naturally occurring sugars or can (by the use of a different production process) be without any sugars.

Good to know – for chilled and UHT oat drinks, Alpro uses British oats, sourced mostly within an 80-mile radius of the mills in Kettering. For Barista drinks,  Alpro only uses oats grown in Europe!
