Homemade cashew milk
Homemade cashew milk
Cashew milk is a creamy, plant-based beverage with a mild, slightly sweet and nutty taste. It is a real treat for your taste buds and a popular alternative to cow’s milk. Our homemade cashew milk is made from carefully selected, organic cashews and pure water. Soaking, mixing and then straining the cashews creates a velvety milk that is all-natural and free of added sugars, oils or preservatives.
Originally from Brazil, the cashew nut grows on the cashew tree(Anacardium occidentale). Today, cashews are grown all over the world, especially in tropical regions such as India, Vietnam and Ivory Coast. The nut is known for its rich, buttery flavor and high nutritional value.
What nutrients are in cashew milk?
Homemade cashew milk is packed with healthy nutrients naturally present in the cashew nut. For example, it contains healthy unsaturated fats, magnesium, zinc, iron and vitamin E. These are nutrients that contribute to healthy skin, energy production and a functioning immune system.
Because cashew milk is naturally creamy, it requires no additional fats or thickeners. It is an excellent source of plant-based energy and also completely lactose-free and vegan.
Homemade vs. industrial cashew milk
Most ready-made cashew drinks in the supermarket often contain only a small percentage of cashews, supplemented with water, sugar and stabilizers. Our homemade variety, on the other hand, is made with a much higher nut content. You can taste that immediately: richer in flavor, fuller in texture and pure in composition.
This preserves the natural creaminess of the cashew nut.
Why do we use cashew milk?
We use homemade cashew milk in several of our juices and smoothies because of its soft, creamy texture and mild flavor. It provides a nice balance between fresh and full-bodied, and pairs perfectly with fruits, spices or cocoa.
Moreover, cashew milk is a sustainable, plant-based choice completely free of lactose and animal products. A delicious, nutritious basis for our juices and a conscious choice for people and planet.
