Elmhurst 1925, a prominent United States plant-based milk producer, expanded its unsweetened range with the launch of three new clean-label products. These include:
- Unsweetened Pistachio Milk
- Unsweetened Vanilla Cashew Milk
- Unsweetened Vanilla Pistachio Milk
Elmhurst’s Unsweetened Vanilla Pistachio Milk and Unsweetened Vanilla Cashew Milk mark the brand’s first-ever flavored, unsweetened plant-based milks. Meanwhile, Unsweetened Pistachio Milk was launched following the positive response to the brand’s other pistachio products.
The three new milk alternatives are now available nationwide at Sprouts Farmers Market locations and on the Elmhurst website. They are designed to meet growing demand for plant-based milks, especially from vegan and flexitarian population.
Elmhurst uses its unique HydroRelease™ method to craft all products, separating the nutrients of nuts, grains, or seeds with water before reassembling them into plant-based milk. This process preserves the full nutrition of the source ingredients without added gums or emulsifiers.
Heba Mahmoud, Sr. Director of Brand Innovation, Elmhurst 1925, said, “Consumers in the contemporary world seek out more clean, creamy, and nutritious plant-based dairy alternatives beyond oat and almond milks. In response, Elmhurst continues to advancing the cashew and pistachio markets with these premium new options,”
She further added, “Elmhurst’s cashew milks contain up to 3X more cashews per serving than other brands. Similarly, our pistachio-based line uses only whole pistachios. We don’t use any processed ingredients that strip away the natural buttery flavor and nutritional value of each nut.
Elmhurst’s expansion of new products indicates the rising consumer demand for plant-based milks across the United States and other regions. It also highlights the role of innovation, such as creating new flavors and textures, in driving the evolution of the plant-based dairy industry.
According to Coherent Market Insights, the global plant-based milk market size is expected to reach USD 21.35 Bn in 2025 and USD 35.22 Bn by 2032. Global plant-based milk demand will likely increase at a CAGR of 7.4% during the forecast period.
Growing vegan and flexitarian lifestyles and rising incidence of lactose intolerance are key factor driving market growth. Similarly, introduction of new clean-label vegan milks, such as those of Elmhurst’s, is expected to boost growth of the vegan milk industry.
Elmhurst’s new launch highlights a transition in the plant-based milk market toward innovation, variety, and ingredient transparency. It unravels the secrets to succeed in this booming industry.
Elmhurst is responding to evolving consumer preferences by introducing flavored as well as unsweetened options with high nut content and no additives. It also sets a benchmark for quality in the dairy alternative space.
This move is expected to accelerate competition, inspire product diversification, and further fuel the growth of the global plant-based milk market. Other plant-based milk manufacturers are expected to follow Elmhurst’s suit by developing novel products in different flavors and textures.
