Zerolait – Nut-Free, Soy-Free Plant Milk

Wholefood Ingredients

We use 100% real foods as ingredients and they are all listed clearly under the ingredient section. No alien words or chemical terms, just names of real foods grown in nature, not labs. These foods, worthy to be labelled as wholefoods, are foods close to their natural form, either unprocessed or have been processed as little as possible. 

In other words, 'chufa milk' means original milk of chufa squeezed from its raw, puréed flesh, not diluted milk with added sugar, binders, colourings or flavourings to mimic its original taste.

Colloid Milling Technology

How does one access the rich minerals trapped inside the tough, jagged skin of chufas? 

Colloid milling technology, which primarily works on the rotor-stator principle, grinds material through a tight, fine-toothed gap between a high-speed turning rotor and a stationary stator. The teeth of the rotor and stator will pierce into the hard shell of chufas, crushing its flesh, and releasing all its nutrients, forming into a rich, smooth and fragrant purée. Milk will then be extracted using high pressure compression applied onto the purée, before being freeze-dried into fine powder.

Fun fact: Chufas (also known as tigernuts, yellow nutsedges or earth almonds) are actually tubers, hence safe for people with nut allergy.

Freeze-Drying Technology

In contrast to cheaper conventional methods of drying which uses heat, vacuum freeze-drying is a long, expensive and highly sophisticated technology. Liquid in chufa milk is first frozen to ice in a blast-freezing chamber (-40°C in < 3 hours), before being removed through sublimation using a vacuum system.

Such advanced technology ensures the natural taste, colour, fragrance, and nutrients (enzyme, vitamins and minerals) of chufa milk are carefully preserved and sealed within. The same as drinking fresh chufa milk!

Better Substitute For Cow's Milk

With the rising emergence of lactose intolerance, health concerns, and environmental impact, consumers are looking at a healthier and more sustainable alternative — plant-based milk.

Comprised of complete protein, dietary fibre, digestive enzymes, Vitamin E, folate, and minerals such as iron, calcium and magnesium, Zerolait is formulated to be equally — if not more — nutritious as cow's milk. It provides you energy and nutrients for maintaining healthy bones and teeth, building or repairing muscle tissue, boosting immune system and transporting oxygen to all cells. Compared to cow's milk, Zerolait is free of allergens, hormones and cholesterol.

Did you know? The dairy industry is one of the major cause for climate change, due to large amount of greenhouse gas emissions by cows.

Better Than Nut, Soy or Rice Milk

In recent years, the world has seen a sharp increase in demands for healthier and more sustainable plant-based milk options. While many turned to almond, soy, rice, coconut, oat or pea milk, our lead nutritionist has discovered the potential in chufa milk — one of the most under-explored, under-utilised plant milk in the market.

Unlike many plant milk in the market, Zerolait is non-GMO, free of extracted or synthetic nutrients, and free of additives such as added sugar, colourings, artificial flavourings, thickeners, stabilisers, preservatives or other additives. Does not contribute to weight gain, inflammation, or diabetes. Taste great as a coffee or tea creamer than other plant milk.

Fun fact: 60% of Zerolait is comprised of chufa milk. Chufas (also known as tigernuts, yellow nutsedges or earth almonds) are actually tubers like potatoes and sweet potatoes, hence suitable for people with nut, soy, gluten, or dairy allergy.

A Source of Complete Plant Protein

Protein is the most important nutrient we need in our lives. A complete protein is comprised of 20 building blocks called amino acids — 9 of which cannot be produced by our body. These essential amino acids must be obtained through foods, such as chia seeds, spirulina and — you guessed it — our Zerolait.

Complete protein is the building block of bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, and blood. Our hair and nails are mostly made of protein. Without protein, our body cannot create enzymes, hormones, and other body chemicals. Complete protein is especially important for vegans, growing children, pregnant and breastfeeding mamas, athletes, and the elderly.... basically everyone.

32% DV Fibre Per Serving

One of the most important nutrient we need, yet we are not getting enough from most milk in the market.

Slows down the absorption of sugar, resulting in a gradual release of energy. Helps relieve constipation. Helps keep you full and cut back on sugary cravings. Helps prevent and improve condition of diabetes by slowing down the absorption of sugar and stabilising insulin level. Helps lower cholesterol by binding itself with excess cholesterol and excreting it out of your body as waste. Helps boost immune system too. Yeap, definitely important.

Good for Prenatal Development

Good for increasing fertility rate, prenatal development, as well as postnatal care. Provides nutrients such as folate, calcium and iron — all of which are essential for a smooth and healthy pregnancy. 

Folate is crucial for forming healthy cells and reducing the risk of neural tube defects such as spina bifida (where spine and spinal cord are not formed properly) and anencephaly (a lethal condition where baby is born without a major portion of the brain and skull). Also supports healthy brain development through childhood and adolescence. 

Needless to say, calcium helps build strong bones and reduces risk of osteoporosis (brittle bones). Iron, on the other hand, is responsible for creation of red blood cells and transport of oxygen to all cells in our body, as well as to foetus.
