FAQ
How can we help today?
We love it when people ask us questions about our products, our sustainability work, or our passion to create the lowest carbon footprint plant-based milk in the category. It could also be other questions around taste, nutrition or anything else you have on your mind.
We can’t speak for everyone, but many Sproud drinkers describe the flavour as natural and creamy. No hint of peas.
We use rapeseed oil (aka non-GMO rapeseed oil in North America) for that silky-smooth texture. Scroll up to “Fats and Oils” for the in-depth version.
Nei, alli Sproud-Produkte sind 100 % nussfrei.
(Hinwiis: i Nordamerika wird Sproud i ere Fabrik produziert, wo au Mandelmilch hergstellt wird, aber gründlichi Reinigig stellt sicher, dass kei Chroskontamination passiert. I andere Märkt findet d’Produktion i nussfreie Fabrike statt.)
Jo! Sproud isch völlig allergenfrei, du chasch meh drüber weiter obe uf dere Site läse.
Jo! Alli Sproud-Produkte hend wenig Zucker, aber wenn du dini Zuefuhr im Blick hesch, sind Sproud Unsweetened oder Sproud Barista Zero dini beste Wahl mit 0 g Zucker. Mir sind stolz Sugarwise-zertifiziert, was bedeutet, dass alli üsi Zucker-Aussage korrekt und überprüft sind. Das chline Sugarwise-Logo? Das isch dini Garantie, dass mir alles mit wenig Zucker, saubere Inhaltsstoff und im Einklang mit de WHO-Empfehlig halte.
Nöd ächt. Mir entwickle grad e bio-Version vo Sproud. Währendem das mache, wähle mir sorgfäldig Zutaten us, wo eusi wichtigste Prioritäte erfülle: guete Gschmack, glatti Konsistenz, zuverlässigi Performance i warme Getränk und bim Choche sowie e minimale Klimafuessabdruck.
Mir starte mit bescheidene, gelbe Spalt-Erbsli und veredle sie, um ihr reines Erbsenprotein-Isolat (dä Hauptinhaltsstoff) z’gwünne. Das Protein wird denn mit Wasser, pflanzliche Öle, Vitamine, Mineralstoffe und e Prise Salz gmischt, um eusi feine pflanzliche Drinks z’mache. D’Mischig wird sorgfältig unter hohem Druck homogenisiert, damit sie die glatte, cremige Textur bechunnt, wo du so gern hesch, und denn schnäll mit Ultra-Hochtemperatur (UHT)-Dampf erhitzt, damit sie sicher und frisch blibt, ohni dass Nährstoff verlore geit. Zum Schluss wird es abkühlt und i aseptischi Verpackige abpackt, was de guete Gschmack, d’Qualität und e langi Haltbarkeit bewahrt, parat zum Gniesse.
The food system stands for almost a third of all global emissions and Sproud constantly work towards keeping a low climate impact. Our vision is to create a sustainable planet and society by reinforcing positive change and inspiring everyone to discover a plant-based lifestyle with less climate impact.
We, at Sproud, track and measure our products’ climate impact using real primary data in collaboration with CarbonCloud. CarbonCloud is based on a biophysical model that has been developed during more than 20 years of scientific endeavours. We strive to be climate transparent, hence we share our 3rd party verified and continuously updated product climate footprints online as well as print it on the packs:

THE IDEAL SOURCE OF SUSTAINABLE PROTEIN
Split peas are rich in proteins and contain a wide range of essential amino acids.
SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE
The pea plant has the amazing ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen in the soil through its symbiotic relationship with soil-borne bacteria. The nitrogen-fixing properties not only reduce nitrogen in the atmosphere but also improve soil fertility and the aggregation and conservation of water. Split peas also require less water, land, and energy than most other crops. By including peas in a crop rotation cycle, the yields, and energy efficiency increase up to 25% for years to come.
ALL-ROUND SUPERHERO
The split pea is rich in proteins and nutrients, reduces atmospheric nitrogen, and requires less non-renewable energy. Split peas also improve soil fertility, increase the farmland’s productivity, promote farm and soil biodiversity, and help keep harmful pests and diseases at bay without pesticides. On top of this, pea protein steams brilliantly, making Sproud drinks creamy and smooth.

Our Sproud Iced Coffee drinks are Fairtrade-certified. The Fairtrade certified ingredients are coffee, sugar, and agave syrup. The quantities of coffee, sugar and agave syrup required for this product are sourced, traded, and audited as Fairtrade. Visit info.fairtrade.net/sourcing for more information.

Dipotassium Phosphate is a potassium salt. It is a natural mineral and we add Dipotassium Phosphate to our Unsweetened, Original, Barista and Vanilla products to regulate the pH (acidity). Without the Dipotassium Phosphate the product would curdle in coffee and tea as they generally have a low pH (pH <5) which causes a separation of the fat and liquid within pea m*lk. An acidity regulator is therefore an essential addition in plant-based m*lk alternatives if they are aimed to be used in coffee, tea or for cooking.
Many acidity regulators can be used in foods. We have chosen an acidity regulator with characteristics that match our pea m*lk by adding natural minerals to the product while not affecting the smooth and neutral taste of our pea m*lk.
Dipotassium Phosphate is regarded as a safe additive to use in foods and is approved by EFSA (European food safety authority), FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) and other similar authorities all around the world.
We do not add Dipotassium Phosphates to Sproud Chocolate products since cacao naturally has a similar ability to regulate the acidity in the product.

It is important for us that we provide you with great coffee with consistent taste over time. Since the quality of the coffee beans can differ from year to year and region to region due to environmental factors (i.e. weather conditions, such as the amount of rain, drought, amount of sun hours, yield etc.), the coffee beans are sourced from several different Fairtrade certified farms. Therefore our Fairtrade-certified coffee does not originate from one specific region. The beans are then mixed together until we receive our specific characteristic preference.

Our yellow split pea is sourced and processed into pea protein isolate in France.
By using peas from fields close to the pea protein factory, we can reduce transportation distance and our climate footprint. At Sproud, we are very proud of the purity and quality of our pea protein isolate and are continuously searching for high-quality pea protein isolate that we can source close to our production sites.

Bi Sproud isch dr Hauptbestandteil vo üse Drinks Erbse-Proteinisolat, wo es eus ermöglicht, Produkte mit eme hohe Proteinghalt z’entwickle, ohni dass mer Kohlenhydrate oder Zucker müend zuefüege. Tatsächlich enthalte einige vo üse Produkte, speziell Sproud Unsweetened und Sproud Barista Zero, gemäss dr Nährwertdeklaration kei Zucker und kei Kohlenhydrate, biete aber en hohe Proteinghalt.
Pflanzedrinks us Getreide, wie zum Biispiel Hafer, enthalte Kohlenhydrate, wil Getreide natürli starchreich sind. Bi dr Produktion vo Getreidedrinks chöi Enzyme verwendet werde, zum e Teil vo dr Stärke in eifacheri Zucker z’zerlege, was zum natürliche Zuckergehalt vom Produkt biiträge cha. Ähnlech wird während dr Verdauig im Körper Kohlenhydrat, inklusive Stärke, dur Enzyme in Monosaccharide, vor allem Glukose, abgebaut, wo denn ufgnah und als Energie bruucht werde chöi.
Kurz gseit füehre verschiedeni pflanzlichi Inhaltsstoff zu unterschiedliche Nährwertzusammesetzigene. E Teil vo de Konsumente bevorzugt proteinreicheri Optione wie Sproud, während anderi je nach Gschmack oder je nach Verwendig vom Produkt Getreidedrinks wähle, zum Biispiel für Kaffee, Choche oder Smoothies.
