CHICAGO, IL and VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 13, 2022 / The Planting Hope Company Inc. (TSXV:MYLK)(OTCQB:MYLKF)(FRA:J94) ("Planting Hope" or the "Company"), a plant-based food and beverage company focused on producing the world's most nutritious and planet-friendly products, is pleased to announce that its Hope and Sesame® Sesamemilk shelf-stable line is launching in stores nationwide across multiple retailer banners at Kroger, the largest grocery retailer in the United States. Beginning in Q3 2022, Kroger customers will enjoy access to three new Hope and Sesame® flavors in shelf-stable 32 oz cartons: award-winning Hope and Sesame® Barista Blend, Unsweetened Vanilla, and Chocolate. The Kroger divisions now carrying shelf-stable Hope and Sesame® Non-GMO Sesamemilk span 681 stores across Ralph's (Southern California), King Soopers (Rocky Mountains), Fry's Food and Drug (Arizona), Fred Meyer (Northwest), Smith's Food and Drug (Southwest), and Kroger stores across the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, Southeast, and Texas.

"Kroger is the gold standard when it comes to national grocers in the United States," said Julia Stamberger, CEO and Co-founder of Planting Hope. "We're thrilled to collaborate with Kroger, a company committed to giving communities across the United States access to high quality, plant-based food and beverages that are nutritious, sustainable, and better for people and the planet."

  • Sesamemilk is nutritionally comparable to dairy milk, with 8g of complete protein per serving with all 9 essential amino acids - that's 8x more protein than almond milk and 2-3x more protein than most oat milks. Sesamemilk is also an excellent source of calcium and vitamin D.
  • Hope and Sesame® Barista Blend Sesamemilk, optimized to froth, foam, and steam like a dream for hot or iced beverages, has 4g of complete protein and is designed for excellent performance in coffee and tea.
  • Sesamemilk is extraordinarily sustainable, using 95% less water than almond milk and 75% less water than oat milk to produce.
  • Hope and Sesame® Sesamemilk in shelf-stable 32 oz cartons are produced with 12 months of shelf life and require no refrigeration before opening.

Hope and Sesame® Sesamemilk 32 oz cartons can be found in the Grocery aisle wherever shelf-stable plant milks are sold. Many of the same Kroger stores also carry two flavors of refrigerated Hope and Sesame® Sesamemilk in 48 oz bottles, Unsweetened Original and Unsweetened Vanilla, in the Plant-Based Milk section of the refrigerated case. This new shelf-stable distribution replaces the previous organic Hope and Sesame® shelf-stable cartons, a product line that the Company phased out in favor of the new branding, lower cost, and improved formulation of the new Hope and Sesame® Sesamemilk Non-GMO product line.
