Unsweetened Almond Milk
Mild, faintly nutty, and thin, with none of dairy milk's creaminess or added sweetness.
Lens analyzedUnsweetened almond milk is a dairy-free beverage made from ground almonds and water, strained to remove the solids, with no added sugar. It's thinner and less rich than dairy milk, and recipes that call for the unsweetened version specifically want to avoid adding extra sweetness to a savory dish or a dessert that's already sweetened separately.
Where it comes from
Almond-based drinks have old roots in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking, where ground almonds steeped in water served as a dairy-free option long before refrigeration made fresh dairy milk widely available. The modern carton version took off as plant-based milk alternatives expanded on North American grocery shelves.
Buying it
Check the ingredient list for added sugars if the carton isn't clearly labeled unsweetened, since sweetened and unsweetened versions often sit side by side. Shake or stir before pouring, since almond solids can settle.
Storing it
An unopened shelf-stable carton keeps in the pantry until the printed date; refrigerate after opening and use within about a week to ten days.
Keeps about 7 days in the fridge.
