Whole Foods Market Broadens Selection with Elmhurst 1925’s New SKUs
Elmhurst® 1925, a pioneer in premium plant-based dairy alternatives, has announced an exciting expansion of its product lineup at select Whole Foods Market locations across the country. Known for creating some of the cleanest and most delicious dairy-free beverages on the market, Elmhurst is now making three of its standout products—Pistachio Barista Edition, Unsweetened Coconut Cashew Milk, and Maple Walnut Barista Edition—available to even more shoppers nationwide.
This move comes as consumers increasingly gravitate toward food and beverage options with minimal, recognizable ingredients. Foods Market In fact, recent data suggests that over 80% of shoppers consider wholesome, clean-label foods essential to their purchasing decisions. Elmhurst’s expansion reflects a growing demand for transparency, sustainability, and quality in the plant-based category—a demand the company continues to meet with flying colors.
“We’ve long enjoyed a successful collaboration with Whole Foods Market, and we’re excited to continue to grow together following overwhelmingly positive customer feedback,” said Heba Mahmoud, Senior Director of Brand Innovation at Elmhurst 1925. “The Whole Foods shopper is one of the most discerning in the industry—seeking not just plant-based, but best-in-class plant-based options. That’s where Elmhurst delivers. As we continue to set the gold standard for clean-label innovation, we look forward to reaching more households across the country with our unique offerings.”
Whole Foods Market, recognized for its dedication to quality, clean ingredients, and innovation, shares a strong synergy with the Elmhurst brand. The addition of these three new products to Whole Foods’ shelves exemplifies the natural alignment of two industry leaders aiming to provide shoppers with exceptional, purpose-driven food products.
“At Whole Foods Market, we’re committed to bringing customers thoughtfully crafted, high-quality products,” said Joanne Neugebauer, Beverage Category Manager at Whole Foods Market. “We’re thrilled to introduce Elmhurst’s Pistachio Barista, Maple Walnut Barista, and Unsweetened Coconut Cashew milks to our stores across the nation. These beverages don’t just meet our high standards—they exceed them. With their unmatched taste and versatility, they’re a natural fit for our shoppers.”
Clean, Creamy, and Completely Unique
Each of the newly featured Elmhurst products highlights the brand’s innovative approach to plant-based milk, offering delicious alternatives that go far beyond the ubiquitous almond and oat milks dominating the market.
Unsweetened Coconut Cashew Milk, for instance, is a trailblazing entry into the plant-milk category. With just four simple ingredients—water, coconut cream, cashews, and salt—it’s one of the first “extra creamy” plant milks crafted without any added gums, emulsifiers, or oils. This barista-approved milk alternative is keto-friendly and perfect for a wide variety of uses, from smoothies and cereal to soups, sauces, baking, and of course, your morning coffee.
Pistachio Barista Edition brings an indulgent, elevated experience to your coffee cup. Made with real pistachios and developed in collaboration with professional baristas, this creamy and nutty milk is designed to steam, froth, and foam effortlessly. Whether you’re crafting a smooth latte or a delicate cold foam, it adds a hint of natural sweetness and a luxurious twist to your routine.
Maple Walnut Barista Edition, on the other hand, is pure comfort in a carton. Combining toasty walnut milk with the natural richness of maple syrup, this variety is ideal for those looking to enjoy a refined, refined-sugar-free alternative to flavored creamers. It froths beautifully and provides a cozy, seasonal flavor profile that enhances any hot or iced coffee drink.
A Commitment to Clean Ingredients and Sustainability
What truly sets Elmhurst apart in the crowded plant-based milk market is its steadfast commitment to clean-label formulations. All Elmhurst products are:
- Non-GMO Project Verified
- Vegan
- Gluten-Free
- OU Kosher Certified
- Free from dairy, gums, emulsifiers, carrageenan, and added oils
The company’s unique HydroRelease™ method is central to its clean approach. Using only water, this innovative process separates the nutritious parts of nuts, seeds, or grains and reassembles them into a creamy, full-bodied milk without compromising their natural benefits. The technique preserves the integrity and nutrient profile of the source ingredient and completely avoids the use of chemical stabilizers or thickeners.
Elmhurst’s HydroRelease™ process is powered entirely by 100% renewable hydroelectric energy, reinforcing the brand’s deep commitment to sustainability. Environmental responsibility doesn’t stop there: Elmhurst has also implemented a comprehensive recycling program that currently helps save approximately 10,000 mature trees annually. The brand uses FSC-certified paperboard for all cartons and has transitioned to paper-based shipping materials for its direct-to-consumer business, reducing reliance on plastic. Even the molded trays used for packaging are made from post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials, and filler is derived from scrap corrugate—small details that collectively make a big difference.
Where to Find the New Products
Shoppers can now find Unsweetened Coconut Cashew, Pistachio Barista Edition, and Maple Walnut Barista Edition in the ambient (shelf-stable) beverage aisle of select Whole Foods Market stores nationwide. These varieties are part of Elmhurst’s broader lineup, which includes its popular Unsweetened Plant Milk Collection, Barista Editions, and Oat Creamers.
