What it is
Almond Cashew Milk is a plant-based beverage made from a blend of almonds and cashews, water, and often other ingredients like sweeteners or thickeners. The nuts are typically soaked, blended with water, and then strained to create a smooth, milk-like liquid.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use it as a dairy-free alternative to cow's milk in a variety of food products. It can add a creamy texture and a subtle nutty flavor to items like puddings, yogurts, and desserts.
Health notes
Almond Cashew Milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. As a plant-based beverage, it does not contain lactose, making it suitable for individuals with lactose intolerance. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many food ingredients, and while specific evaluations for this blend may vary, similar plant-based milks are widely consumed. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.
