It’s not really milk.
We should just call it pea. Already reminds us of a liquid.
Ahh yes give me your finest cup of pea.
Tea sir, what kind may I ask?
Heather, scum. I said pea... Do you not understand?
What's the comparative energy usage for the production process?
You aren't going to pea in my milk!
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

Well of course. Peas are a lot smaller than cows and will eat and fart a lot less.
Do we have to call it pea milk though?
No. In fact, I hope the manufacturers store it in testicle-shaped bottles.
Pea is stored in the balls
I only drink golden showers brand
better than petite pea milk.
Pilk
Essence of pea
No, we should call it pea mammry fluid from a different species.
mammary secretions.
I already don't call it that.

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).
Almond and Oat have that "nutty" taste that works well with chocolate.
i find oat curdles a little bit when used in hot drinks though. Personally, i'm a soy boy
It's great if you can handle its pea-ness.
My kids love drinking pea.
This is exactly the reference I was making
Decades later I still have to say this, in an Orson Welles voice, any time I'm cooking with peas.
I love drinking pea
Try showering in it. The experience is golden.
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 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.

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.
I want to use oat milk but I'm having a hard time getting used to the difference in taste to cow milk
My tip would be, give one of them a go for a set time period, like a month!
It's so interesting how the brain gets used to stuff, I did have the same thing when I swapped, but now cow milk tastes kind of funky when I do have it. You might find that after a week or so, you end up preferring it (you might also find you hate it, but at least you can say you gave it a go when you swap back, haha!)
Yeah, I'll probably have to force my way through it. For now I just stopped drinking milk in general.
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.
Or the real question, does it make cheese?
Don't. Please.
Hell yeah, give peas a chance!
This seems to show that coconut milk is better and uses barely any water. Also, it's coconut milk, which is lovely.
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 :>
Peas are just seeds, so call it seed milk.
we don't have data for its water usage though?
