Coconut & Cashewmilk

Coconut and cashew milk is a plant-based beverage made by blending soaked cashews and shredded or pureed coconut with water. The mixture is then strained to remove solids, resulting in a creamy, milk-like liquid. It is often fortified with vitamins and minerals.

Manufacturers use coconut and cashew milk as a dairy-free alternative in a wide range of products, including yogurt, ice cream, creamers, and baked goods. It provides a creamy texture and a mild, slightly nutty flavor. It can also be used as a base for smoothies and sauces.

Coconut and cashew milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of healthy fats, particularly medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) from coconut, which may have some metabolic benefits. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated similar plant-based beverages, but specific evaluations for coconut and cashew milk blends may vary. Evidence on the health impacts of plant-based milks is still evolving.
