What it is
This is a plant-based beverage designed to offer an alternative to traditional dairy milk.

The beverage is processed and packaged for convenience and shelf stability.

Before opening, shake the container well to ensure the ingredients are properly mixed. This beverage can be used in any recipe that calls for dairy milk. It works well in hot beverages like coffee or tea, where it can add a smooth consistency without curdling. For baking, it can substitute for milk in cakes, muffins, and pancakes. It is also suitable for use in sauces, soups, and other savory dishes, contributing to their richness and texture. Its neutral taste makes it adaptable to a wide range of flavors.

How to keep the rest
After opening, refrigerate the plant-based beverage and consume within the recommended timeframe, typically 7-10 days. Keep the container tightly sealed to maintain freshness and prevent the absorption of odors from the refrigerator. Store unopened containers in a cool, dry place.
