Grain milk looks very similar to cow's milk. It has a lower protein content and a higher carbohydrate content than cow's milk. Just as cow's milk is often fortified with Vitamin D, which it naturally lacks, grain milks may have calcium and some vitamins (especially cobalamin) added to them. Cobalamin is produced exclusively by microorganisms: bacteria, fungus and algae. Higher plants and animals are unable to produce it. In lupin milk, cobalamin has been found in larger quantities.
