What is Patch Organics?

Patch Organics is the first commercially available plant-based milk made from pumpkin seeds. Founded by chef and Kundalini yoga devotee Patricia Trongone in 2016, Patch boasts a product line of good-for-you milks that are allergen-friendly and full of protein, calcium, and electrolytes.

Patch Milk is currently available in both ‘Original’ and ‘Chocolate’ flavors, with ‘Coffee’, ‘Ginger’ ‘Turmeric’, and ‘Pumpkin Spice’ flavors coming soon.

How It Compares + My Thoughts:

I’m a HUGE fan of Patch Milk! I first tried it back in February, when I interviewed CEO Gil Kernan as part of the Milk Future Museum campaign. It was my first time tasting pumpkin seed milk, and it was unlike anything I had tried before — in a good way! The ‘Original’ flavor has a subtle yet slightly sweet flavor that makes it pleasant to drink alone or in cereal/coffee. And although I am not generally a chocolate fan, Patch’s chocolate flavor is pretty good, too, and I would say it tastes comparable to a traditional chocolate-flavored milk.

One thing I love about using pumpkin seeds to make plant-based milk is its environmental benefits. As you can see from this comparison chart from Patch’s site, pumpkin seeds are less environmentally invasive to grow than other common plant-based alternatives like almond and soy.
