Hemp milk: low in sucrose. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- SucroseLow
Hemp milk carries almost no sucrose of its own - the nut or seed it is made from has little, and water makes up most of the carton. What decides the answer is whether the maker sweetened it, and the same brand often sells both. Read the sugar line, not the name.
- FODMAPsNone
Hemp milk is hemp seed blended and strained, and a hemp seed is one of the few plant materials in this aisle that carries neither fructan nor galacto-oligosaccharide worth counting. It is a genuinely quiet answer rather than a diluted one, which is unusual here. What varies is what is added: sweetened versions bring their own sugar, and that is on the label rather than in the seed.
