CHICAGO, IL and VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 28, 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 the Fox News Channel national morning show, Fox & Friends, featured Hope and Sesame® Sesamemilk and RightRice® Veggie Rice on their November 24, 2022 Thanksgiving morning segment with celebrity Chef George Duran.
Chef Duran showcased Planting Hope brands in a variety of products including Hope and Sesame® Sesamemilk in a sweet potato casserole, and limited-edition RightRice® Holiday flavors as fast, easy-to-prepare holiday side dishes.
As Chef Duran stated, "I'm making a sweet potato casserole, but this is kind of a twist in here. We're going to use some sesame milk-this is Hope and Sesame. What you're going to do is …use this sustainable, nutritious plant milk [in place of dairy milk]. I'm telling you guys-this tastes amazing."
Fox & Friends host Rachel Campos-Duffy replied, "Is this the next new thing? Like everyone was into oat milk and now everyone is going to be into sesame milk?"
Chef Duran continued, "This has eight times more protein than almond milk, for example. Zero cholesterol, eight grams complete protein, vitamin D, calcium. So, when you add this to the mashed sweet potatoes, it elevates it and gives it a little nutty flavor."
"We're thrilled to see the versatility and sustainability of our sesame milk highlighted as a great choice for recipes," said Julia Stamberger, CEO and Co-founder of Planting Hope. "Yes indeed, we believe that Rachel is correct-sesame milk IS the next new plant milk that everyone will soon be into!"

About Hope and Sesame®
Hope and Sesame® has cracked the code on unlocking the dense nutrition in tiny sesame seeds to create a plant milk that's good-for-you, planet-friendly, and delicious! Sesame is highly sustainable, thriving in arid climates with very little water, is naturally drought- and pest-resistant, and can self-pollinate. Nutritionally comparable to dairy milk, Hope and Sesame® Sesamemilk delivers 8g of complete protein per serving (including all nine essential amino acids) - that's 8x the protein in most almond and nut milks and 3x the protein in most oat milks! Developed for and approved by top baristas, Hope and Sesame® Barista Blend Sesamemilk froths, steams, and foams like a dream, is great for latte art, and delivers 4g of complete protein per 8oz serving. Sesamemilk is an excellent source of both vitamin D and calcium, and its core ingredient is the ultra-nutritious pulp upcycled from sesame oil extraction. All Hope and Sesame® products are vegan, Certified Gluten-Free and Certified Kosher, free from soy and dairy, Non-GMO Project Verified, and Certified by the Plant Based Foods Association. Hope and Sesame® Sesamemilk is available in both refrigerated 48 oz bottles (three flavors) as well as shelf-stable long-life recyclable aseptic cartons (seven flavors, including Barista Blend) in both US and Canadian bilingual packaging.
Hope and Sesame®'s products have received myriad industry and consumer awards, and they keep coming: Hope and Sesame® Barista Blend Sesamemilk was awarded Best Novel Creamer by Good Housekeeping in their 2022 Best Coffee Awards, won Best Product at Coffee Fest Chicago 2022, received the international GAMA 2022 Innovation Award for Best Hospitality Product, and was a finalist for Best Product of the Year at the 2022 Specialty Coffee Awards; Hope and Sesame® Sesamemilk was awarded Best Milk Alternative and Best Plant-Based Sustainability in FoodBev's 2021 World Plant-Based Food Awards; signature Chocolate Hazelnut Sesamemilk flavor received the 2020 Sofi Award for Best New Product, Plant-Based Milk from the Specialty Food Association.
