Willa's Blog

Willa’s uses the whole oat in the creation of our oat milk for a zero-waste process. Other brands discard 20-30% of the oats. Oat milk stands as the second highest-selling plant-based milk so that is A LOT of wasted oats! With Willa’s, we’ve developed a proprietary milling approach that allows us to use the entire whole grain oat (the germ, endosperm, and the bran). This practice offers our customers a less processed and more nutrient-dense oat milk choice that is better for the environment.
