It’s not really milk.

We should just call it pea. Already reminds us of a liquid.

What's the comparative energy usage for the production process?

Oat milk is pretty good. I recently switched over to it from soy milk and it's high in calcium and all the other nutrients. Very creamy.

Edit: damn that's batshit crazy, I should give pea milk a try.

Here's the comparison table of the nutrients in the article

You aren't going to pea in my milk!

I had some pea chocolate milk and it was pretty okay. Think almond and oat taste better but it's not the worse (that's soy).

Well of course. Peas are a lot smaller than cows and will eat and fart a lot less.

My fiance has food allergies, including dairy & tree nuts (like almonds). Once she discovered pea milk she started making mashed potatoes again. It turns out coconut milk doesn't make a great choice. I don't remember why she doesn't like soy milk.

It's an ...acquired taste

I've had pea milk, doesn't seem too rare in the UK. It was nice enough, maybe slightly watery compared to oat (my go to) but that could just have been the brand.

The comparisions are interesting, but also kind of demonstrate the futility of debating between plant based milks. There's a clear worst candidate here, and it isn't plant based. If your thinking of switching, choose your favourite, soy might be the second worst but it's significantly less than half the emmisions of cow milk.

Do we have to call it pea milk though?

It's great if you can handle its pea-ness.

I love drinking pea

I tried pea milk for the first time a couple of weeks back, albeit it was chocolate flavored. It was pretty good and is a good alternative to water-hungry almond milk.

This seems to show that coconut milk is better and uses barely any water. Also, it's coconut milk, which is lovely.

Does it have qualities that would make it useful replacement in cooking and baking, or is it a drink alternative? The archive link isn't working for me, so sorry if this is in the article. I'm really curious.

Hell yeah, give peas a chance!

we don't have data for its water usage though?

Yeah if people want this to catch on you can't call it pea milk.

Peas are a type of pulse. So let's call it pulse milk that sounds a lot more appetizing :>

The colour of it makes me feel a bit noxious. Maybe I shouldn't have eaten that candy snake I found in my jacket pocket just before jumping into bed.
