Cashew milk

Cashew Milk is a type of plant milk made from cashew nuts. It is a popular alternative to dairy milk and is often consumed by those who are lactose intolerant or follow a vegan diet.

Production

The production of cashew milk involves soaking cashew nuts in water, then blending them until smooth. The mixture is then strained to remove any remaining solids, resulting in a creamy, nutty-flavored milk. Some commercial brands of cashew milk also add sweeteners or flavorings, such as vanilla or cinnamon, to enhance the taste.

Nutrition

Cashew milk is lower in calories and fat than dairy milk, but also lower in protein. It is often fortified with vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin D and calcium, to match the nutritional profile of dairy milk. Cashew milk is naturally lactose-free, making it suitable for those with lactose intolerance. It is also free from cholesterol and saturated fat, making it a heart-healthy choice.

Uses

Cashew milk can be used in a variety of ways. It can be consumed on its own, used in smoothies, or substituted for dairy milk in baking and cooking. It can also be used to make vegan versions of dairy products, such as yogurt and cheese.
