The sunflower was domesticated by Native Americans thousands of years ago and later became a beloved snack and oil crop across Eastern Europe, yet its milk is still one of the rarest finds on the plant milk shelf. That's a shame, because sunflower seed milk solves a real problem: it's free from nuts, soya, dairy and gluten, which makes it one of the few milks a school lunchbox can actually take. The taste is mild and lightly nutty, with the subtle savoury note you know from the seeds themselves, and it comes with vitamin E in tow. American newcomer Lattini leads the tiny category. Use it on cereal, in baking and smoothies, or anywhere an unfussy milk is called for.
