Cashew milk

Cashew Milk

Cashew milk (pronunciation: /ˈkaSHo͞o/ /milk/) is a plant-based, non-dairy beverage derived from cashew nuts. It is a popular alternative to cow's milk and is often consumed by those who are lactose intolerant or following a vegan diet.

Etymology

The term "cashew milk" is derived from the English words "cashew", which is a type of nut, and "milk", which traditionally refers to the white liquid produced by mammals. The term "milk" in this context is used to describe the creamy liquid that results from blending cashews with water.

Preparation

Cashew milk is typically made by soaking cashew nuts in water, then blending them until smooth. The mixture is then strained to remove any remaining solids, resulting in a creamy, milk-like beverage. Some recipes may also include additional ingredients such as sweeteners or flavorings.

Nutritional Information

Cashew milk is rich in vitamin E, magnesium, and copper, and is often fortified with additional nutrients such as calcium and vitamin D. It is also lower in calories and fat than cow's milk, making it a popular choice for those watching their calorie intake.
