Leche de Avena, or oat milk, is a popular plant-based beverage originating from European cuisines, particularly Sweden, where it was first commercially developed. Made by blending oats with water and straining to remove solids, it offers a creamy, mild flavor ideal for drinking alone or using in recipes. Oat milk is naturally free from lactose, nuts, and soy, making it an excellent option for those with dietary restrictions or allergies. Nutritionally, it is often enriched with vitamins such as B12 and D, and minerals like calcium. It provides fiber and beta-glucans, known for supporting heart health and cholesterol management. However, some store-bought varieties may contain added sugars and thickeners, so checking labels is recommended. Leche de Avena is an eco-friendly choice, as oats require fewer resources to cultivate compared to other milk alternatives, contributing to its status as a sustainable and health-conscious option.
