Carbon-Negative Oat Ice Creams
Plan(e)t Foods Developed a World-First Oat-Based Ice Cream
Laura McQuarrie — October 5, 2022With shoppers searching for healthier swaps to support their well-being and the health of the planet, oat-based ice cream is everywhere. By Plan(e)t Foods, the vegan start-up launched in Greece, developed the world’s first vegan and carbon-negative oat-based ice cream.
The plant-based and carbon-negative ice cream is said to be indistinguishable from dairy and its oat-based recipe is the result of hundreds of experiments and many hours invested in the lab. With oat drinks used in place of milk for the ice cream base, these products build the foundation for an ethical and planet-friendly brand. By Plan(e)t Foods has raised €400K in its first funding round led by Greek angel investors and as the pioneering start-up says, "Our planet-friendly and plant-based ice cream is not a substitute product, but the successor of dairy ice cream."
