Vegetable Millk
Description
Vegetable milk, commonly known as plant-based milk, is a dairy-free, lactose-free beverage made from water-extracted extracts of legumes, nuts, seeds, or cereals. These popular dairy alternatives—such as soy, almond, oat, and coconut milk—are chosen for vegan, allergy-friendly, or sustainable diets and are frequently fortified with calcium and vitamins.
Key Aspects of Vegetable Milk:
Production: It is made by grinding plant materials (nuts, seeds, grains) and mixing them with water. The mixture is then filtered to remove sediment, creating a fluid that resembles dairy milk.
Common Types:
Soy milk: Highest protein content, closely resembling cow’s milk, but a major allergen.
Almond milk: Low in calories and high in vitamin E.
Oat milk: Known for a creamy texture and higher fiber content.
Coconut milk: Known for its rich, creamy texture.
