A new drink has been born that follows the most current and 'futuristic' line of produce without polluting environment. Because the gin Nàdar Gin boasts of having an impact of -1,54 kilograms of carbon dioxideTherefore, not only does it not harm the planet, but it also avoids more of those emissions that it could generate. The result of an investigation in which two groups have participated and the distillery arbikie, This never seen distillate has been presented that favors the environment. In addition, it arises from an unusual raw material such as the components of the pea. We tell you much more about this new product here.
Five years of research with legumes
This Nadar Gin is already a reality after five years of work in which the James Hutton Institute, University of Abertay (Scotland) and also the distillery already mentioned. The researchers believed that peas were the absolute protagonists of the drink because they are part of a family of plants of great value. We talk about legumes, which can produce nitrogen on their own. This is an essential chemical element for the development of vegetables, hence the importance that the natural pea can be used. In this way, artificial fertilizers are not necessary, something that avoid environmental impact in air, soil and rivers.
After the harvest of bliss green legume, waste is generated with nitrogen which acts as a fertilizer for the farmland. So it is ready for the next planting, whether of the same product or different ones. All this in the more sustainable plan, although it is not the only one that justifies the use of this vegetable to make the scottish gin. Because it should also be noted that all its components are used in the distillation process and also in animal feed. The protein that leftover is reused since it has a high nutritional value. But the investigation has not culminated with the birth of this gin.
The pea, much more than a vegetable
The experts want to continue working to ensure that both that pea protein and the leftover yeast from the process of making the Nadar Gin serve for human consumption. New foods could benefit from it, while others that are already commercialized already use this component of the vegetable. This is the case, for example, of the burger vegan. Along the same lines, another interesting product for this purpose is the bean. Both foods are being used by the industry that researches and manufactures vegan products.
Nàdar Gin and the Arbikie philosophy
This innovative drink and the world's first gin that, for every 700 milliliter bottle, has a carbon footprint of -1,54 kilograms, it has an exceptional flavor. Because those in charge of making it have introduced aromas of natural botanicals, citrus leaves and lemongrass. Scottish distillate is already a good example of the excellent results that can come from collaboration between companies and researchers. In this specific case, the signature arbikie -whose main product is the vodka of different flavors- has opted for the sustainability. In addition, everything used comes from the local harvest at the distillery.
Its own owners have also explained it, alluding to support for a respectful agricultural production with the environment. The one that believes in favorable crop rotation, the use of less fertilizers and the improvement of the characteristics of the terrain. «From our beginnings, our spirit has been to create liqueurs premium where all the ingredients used are grown on our Single Estate farm, ”says John Stirling, Director of Arbikie Distillery. The truth is that everything they use for their drinks is sown, cultivated and harvested on the company's own farm protected by the angus hills high up. The 1500 hours of sunshine a year together with the climate that they enjoy in these lands allows agriculture in line with their philosophy.
Now, maybe Nadar Gin mark a very attractive path for other brands of this or another distillate and we will see more and more products that respect an environment that must be cared for in their process. Among all, citizens, businessmen and farmers. Either with the use of peas, beans or another ideal food for the most 'green' objective.
