Rapeseed oil is low in saturated fats and is a good source of omegas 3, 6, and 9. The oil we use is GMO-free, and sourced from the UK and northern Europe.

Is Minor Figures an independent brand?
Minor Figures is an independently owned start up. We formed as a company by crowd-funding and have since grown by partnering with carefully chosen investors, all of whom have a minority share in the company. Our founders control the direction of Minor Figures and everything that we do. The investors are a mix of friends, family, and strategic partners, all of whom help us to scale and reach as many of you as possible.
Is your packaging recyclable?
Our cartons can be recycled wherever local collection and sorting facilities accept them. Whether yours can go in your household recycling depends on where you live, so check your local guidance to be sure. They’re made by Tetra Pak, mainly from paperboard sourced from responsibly managed forests and other controlled sources. We’re also removing single-use plastic from our shipping packaging wherever a suitable recyclable alternative is available, while continuing to improve packaging recyclability across our range.
You can use https://ace-uk.co.uk/recycling/ to check the recycling options in your area.
How do you source your oats?
We currently make our oat drinks in 5 countries, based around our core markets. This helps us keep unnecessary transport to a minimum while ensuring we can deliver the quality and consistency you have come to know and expect. Oat sourcing isn’t always a straight line. Farming is seasonal and availability changes throughout the year, so origins can change too. We work with suppliers who meet our quality and sustainability standards, sourcing as locally as quality and availability allow. For Barista Oat (Regenerative), we go a step further: these oats are grown using regenerative farming practices and can be traced back to the farm.
What makes Barista Oat (Regenerative) different?
The oats for Barista Oat (Regenerative) are grown exclusively by farms in the Wildfarmed network, using regenerative practices: living roots and cover crops to protect the soil, diverse rotations, minimal soil disturbance, livestock grazing within the rotation, no insecticides and no pre-harvest spraying. Every farm is independently audited against the Wildfarmed Standards, and the oats are kept fully separate from conventional supply, so they can be traced from farm to carton. The results are measured, too. On the farm, growing these oats stored more carbon in the soil than it emitted: a net −84.3 kg CO₂e per tonne of oats.
*Farm-level carbon footprint of the oats: on-farm emissions minus soil carbon removals. Excludes processing, packaging and transport. 2026 PCF Report for 2025 Data.
