Before opening, it can be stored at room temperature. Once opened, it should be refrigerated and consumed within a specific timeframe, usually about 7 to 10 days. It can be used in the same ways as dairy milk. For hot beverages, it is advisable to heat it gently to avoid curdling. In baking, it contributes moisture and a subtle richness to batters and doughs. It also blends well into sauces and gravies, providing a smooth, creamy texture.
