Swedish company Sproud has launched Barista ZERO, a yellow split pea-based sugar-free milk alternative.
Barista ZERO is said to add smoothness and creaminess to coffee without altering its flavour and is high in protein, as yellow split peas provide twice the amount of protein compared to oats.
Sproud will debut its new Barista ZERO at the European Coffee Symposium on 11 November in Berlin, Germany, where it will serve as the exclusive alt-milk sponsor.
In a statement, the company said Barista ZERO raises the bar further by offering long-lasting microfoam ideal for latte art, making it a go-to option for cafés, restaurants, and home baristas.
“Our team has been working on this product for the past year, so we’re all really excited for people to finally taste it. We have a great relationship with baristas and therefore wanted to create an uncompromising product they could rely on for all their customers,” says Sproud CEO Sara Berger.
“We’re confident that Barista ZERO not only meets the expectations of professional baristas, but also supports consumers increasingly seeking low-sugar alternatives in the plant-based category. As the newest product in our pea-based milk alternative line up, Barista ZERO reinforces our commitment to manufacturing plant-based milk alternatives that balance health, taste, and environmental responsibility.”
Barista ZERO is available for purchase via the Sproud website.
