Almond Milk shelf life?
Comments (3)I think the "use by" date is previous to opening (for the shelf stable product, but different for their refrigerated product). After opening, (and for the refrigerated product) this is what the website for Almond Breeze says: How soon should I use Almond Breezeî after I open it? After opening, REFRIGERATED Almond Breeze should be used within 7 days. SHELF STABLE Almond Breeze should be used within 7-10 days of opening. Because Almond Breeze does not contain preservatives, it is susceptible to spoilage after being opened for a prolonged period of time. Do not leave opened Almond Breeze unrefrigerated for an extended period of time. Storage at room temperature will shorten the shelf life and just like regular dairy milk and will spoil if left unrefrigerated too long. Blue Diamond does not recommend trying to extend the Refrigerated âÂÂUse Byâ or Shelf Stable âÂÂBest Beforeâ time frame of Almond Breeze and Blue Diamond will not guarantee the quality of the product beyond this recommended time frame....See MoreAlmond milk
Comments (4)Save money and make your own. Almond milk is a good source for calcium. Other non-dairy milks you can easily make yourself: oat, rice, other varieties of nuts, cashews (which is a fruit, not a nut), hemp, sesame, sunflower, pumpkin seed.... A great little book on the subject is "Not Milk...NUT MILKS!" by Candia Lea Cole. Recipes in the book include: Apple Ginger Almond Milk, Banana Almodine Milk, Mellow Carob Cocoa Almond Milk (a great recipe to use 100% Cacao Cocoa), Mocha Mint Almond Milk, and many others. I've been making non-dairy milks for decades. -Grainlady...See Morealmond milk???
Comments (10)I don't believe in consuming dairy, and I avoid soy, so I use a lot of nut milk. It's easy and cheap to make your own. Just blend soaked almonds with water, though it works best with a high-speed blender. Or, even easier, blend a little almond butter with water and you get instant almond milk. If you make it yourself, it's even cheaper than dairy milk and so much better for you and the environment. Additionally, you still get the benefits of the live enzymes that the packaged pasturization destroys. Hemp milk is also great, and absolutely loaded with nutrition....See MoreAlmond Milk?
Comments (13)I like the Diamond (Almond Breeze) brand a lot better than Silk, which has gone all out into the almond milk business. My local Walmart, where I buy most of my groceries, has cut way down on their soymilk inventory and is pushing almond milk. I wonder how this relatively new popularity is going to affect the water shortage in California. Almond trees are notorious water hogs. I still prefer soymilk, but use both. To answer the original question, I never noticed that warning on the container, and mine always lasts longer than 7 days. I think we're both fine. :-)...See Moresooz
