I personally like the unsweetened almond milk, even though it is only 3.8% almonds. Subtle taste, good for coffee, doesn't curdle.
Great for everyday use or stock up for prepping!
A limit of 36 litres per item per order applies.
Your questions:
- Q. Doesn't almond milk use a lot of water to make?
-
A. Apparently it takes some 2,000 gallons of water to produce one gallon of cow milk, roughly twice as much as that required to produce a gallon of Almond Milk. So it's not ideal, but it's definitely better.
- Q. What is the best alternative milk for coffee frothing?
-
A. That would be Minor Figures Oat M*lk which is $7 per litre. You can also find Vitasoy for baristas, but not at Woolworths.
- Q. Why isn't the almond milk 100% almonds?
-
A. That wouldn't make any sense. All milks are emulsion in water.
- Q. Are they allowed to call this stuff milk when it's not from a cow?
-
A. See above.
- Q. Which one of these is the best?
-
A. This is a great opportunity for you to try them all and decide for yourself. Most people find the taste of soy milk is too strong, rice milk is pretty watery and oat and coconut milks can be really sweet. But nobody can tell you which one tastes best for you.
- Q. Which one tastes most like cow's milk?
-
A. Probably start with the Soy Milky, then try some of the others.
- Q. Doesn't soy milk have estrogen in it? Won't that mess with my hormones?
-
A. Soy milk contains phytoestrogen, is a plant-based estrogen that you already eat in other foods. Scientific studies have not found any effect on the human body, including sexuality in men or menopausal symptoms in women. You are much more likely to be hormonally effected by mammal estrogen which is present in cow's milk.
- Q. But humans are meant to drink milk. It's good for us.
-
A. Humans have only been drinking cow's milk for 100 years, since pasteurisation and refrigeration made it safe to drink outside of a farm. Two-thirds of people on the planet are lactose intolerant. That may not include you if you're white, but don't you think drinking the breast milk of another animal is a little weird?
- Q. But you're wrong and only weirdos drink milk alternatives.
-
A. Nobody's forcing you to buy. Move along.
