#Almond breeze vanilla settlement update

Q: How do you get several weeks of shelf life without preservatives? Our facility processes a variety of nuts and seeds but has very strict cleaning procedures which ensure that our milks are not contaminated with any allergens other than what is listed on the label. Q: Is your plant-based milk processed in a facility where other allergens are present? This step enhances the nutritional value of the almond milk as the almond skins contain tannins, which inhibit nutrient absorption. Yes, the almonds are blanched to remove the skins. Pasteurized almonds are still considered raw. The FDA/USDA requires that all raw almonds be pasteurized to protect against Salmonella. We source locally whenever possible - we use California almonds and California pistachios! Q: Are your almonds pasteurized? Just give your bottle a good shake to disperse the vanilla beans in the bottle and enjoy the taste of real vanilla. Over time, the vanilla bean seeds settle at the bottom and sometimes group together, forming a black ring you might see at the bottom of your bottle. Just like you would find in your pantry at home. Nope, we use only the real (good!) stuff. In our Unsweetened Vanilla Bean Almond Milk, we use real organic vanilla bean. Q: I see some black specs at the bottom of my Vanilla Bean Almond Milk.

If your milk has chunks or clumps, your nut milk has not curdled – we promise! Shaking the bottle breaks up the bit into smaller pieces that dissolve into the milk so it’s not chunky. What are the clumps floating on top of my bottle of Three Trees?īecause we don't use any stabilizers or emulsifiers, our nut milks naturally separate, just like homemade. Emulsifers such as oils and lecithin also serve to make the milk even and “pretty.” We think natural is beautiful, so we don’t cover up our gorgeous nut milks with additives! Q. Thickeners and stabilizers such as carrageenan, xanthan gum, locust bean gum and acacia gum are what prevent separation. We don't add thickeners, stabilizers, emulsifers, or fillers, so they naturally separate. Separation is natural – just give them a good shake. Q: Why do Three Trees nut milks separate? If Three Trees is not available at your favorite natural foods store, please talk to the dairy buyer and ask him/her to bring in Three Trees! We would love to be available on shelf everywhere, but stores listen to their customers.

It may last longer if your refrigerator is very cold. Q: How long does Three Trees last after opening?Īfter you open your bottle, the milk will be good for at least 10 days in the fridge. Unlike some plant-based dairy alternatives that use thickeners to give body and taste, our milks get their rich yet clean taste simply from the quality of the fresh, organic ingredients that we use. The richness of our nut and seed milks comes simply from using more healthy nuts and seeds, nothing else. Absolutely no gums or fillers! We're proud of our 100% clean ingredient list. That means we only use real food ingredients that are healthful. Our mission is to help people eat more real, nourishing plant-based foods.
