Could Potato Milk Be the Next Plant-Based Favorite?
Europe is getting a brand new plant-based milk from an unconventional ingredient–potatoes. The Swedish milk brand DUG will launch domestically in Original, Unsweetened, and Barista variations, but soon after will become available on Amazon in the United Kingdom. The new plant-based milk is the product of a partnership between the parent company Veg of Lund with Professor Eva Tornberg at Lund University.
“We have a good product that we are proud of,” Veg of Lund CEO Thomas Olander said. “Our choice to use potatoes as a base means that we have a super-sustainable drink. Potatoes don’t need much to grow at all, making them a super-sustainable crop compared to others like soybeans, almonds, or oats. Not to mention dairy products.”

A new vegan milk is hitting stores in Europe and it’s made from an unlikely vegetable: the humble, and allergen-friendly, potato. Swedish milk brand DUG was created by parent company Veg of Lund in partnership with Professor Eva Tornberg at Lund University and just became available in Original, Unsweetened, and Barista flavors on Amazon in the United Kingdom after its domestic retail debut.
Fortified with vitamins, including B12, the potato-based milk also includes pea protein, rapeseed oil, and chicory fiber in its formulation. The new milk is free from soy, gluten, and added sugar, was developed to be versatile, and can be used in cooking and baking. DUG foams similarly to dairy milk making it a good substitute for lattes. Using potatoes as the main ingredient also means that DUG offers impressive sustainability metrics. It uses half of the land required to grow oats and 56 times less water than almonds two of the most common crops used to produce plant-based milk.
