Developing functional oat ingredient systems for manufacturers

New Zealand's first powdered oat milk - Built for manufacturers

Early-stage Aotearoa New Zealand based company focused on powdered oat bases and real-world manufacturing performance.

Innovation is constrained

Oat milk has already proven consumer demand, but the powder format needed to scale it across food and beverage is still missing.

Liquid oat milk is expensive to ship, difficult to store, and poorly suited to many automated and dry-line manufacturing systems, while current oat powder alternatives fail on texture, dispersion, stability, and performance.

The result is slower innovation, costly reformulation, and products that launch below standard - or never launch at all.

What we’re working on.

Teiny his developing a high-performance powdered oat ingredient designed for real food and beverage manufacturing environments.

Unlike liquid oat milk, it is built to finish as a shelf-stable powder, with clean rehydration, preserved oat flavour, and compatibility with the production systems manufacturers already use.

The goal is not just to dry oat milk, but to create a true oat ingredient that is soluble, functional, and commercially usable at scale.
