Vegetable milk or vegan milk – 5 options (introduction):
Milk, by “nature” is a food of animal origin and containing lactose, a sugar present in it and its derivatives. For those who have intolerance, one of the problems is looking for foods that do not have this substance.
To replace the milk and inconveniences that some people have with their consumption (very often associated with lactose), there are alternatives to produce what is called vegetable milk at home.
For Anvisa, for example, the “coconut milk” is “a watery emulsion extracted from a vegetable from adequate mechanical processes”.
And in this way options such as oats, ignore, coconut, almonds and rice appear (among others), which are very easy to make and particularly useful for situations of intolerance.
But it is important to consider how milk (animal origin) is an important source of protein, its replacement with vegetable milk should be made to recommend these proteins with other foods. Therefore, before making any replacement alone, consult a nutritionist.
- Difficulty: Easy
- Durability: In medium vegetable milk they last 3 days in the refrigerator *(use sterile containers, preferably glass).
PREPARATION:
I) oatmeal milk:
- In a bowl, dip the oats in boiling water (enough to cover). Cover and hydrate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- If you have more time, dip the oats in filtered water (enough to cover) for 6-8 hours (at night), covered by a closed furniture at room temperature.
- Then download the excess water from oat milk, reserving this liquid.
- Put the oats in a blender with the amount of water indicated in the ingredients (use part of the language of the language – probiotic – and complete with more filtered water).
- Beat for 1 minute – do not beat too much so as not to activate the starch and make the milk sticky.
- Filter the use of a voile or flat cloth and put the oats aside to make other preparations such as cakes, cakes, etc.
- Advantage: Very cheap from an economic point of view, since oat is cheap and also rather rich in fiber. The residue of oat crash can be used to create cakes and other productions that transport the ingredient.
- Disadvantage : Oat can contain gluten and, therefore, would not be used for a gluten -free diet, at least that in the packaging the manufacturer informs that it is 100% free from cross -contamination. Some recipes ask to beat the oats with hot water, which makes the “milk” more creamy, but makes the effort process more difficult.
Ii) ignore milk:
Before clarifying a cursed confusion on what the break (real) is. The character (tall dioscorea) is a climbing herbaceous, with fertile tubers, and often and in some regions it is confused with Yam. This confusion is due to the name of the character in Spanish (ñame) and in Italian (unknown).
The real ignore has the scientific name of “CLOCASIA COMPANY”and is popularly known as Bull. It is a typically tropical tuber from southern Asia. The edible part is the underground stem that has white pulp and leaves.
Both the character and the Yam must be consumed cooked because it contains indigesible substances and can damage the body.
- Peel the potatoes, cut and place it in a pan with cold water, boil, heat and cook for another 5 minutes or until cooking.
- Remove the break from the heat, discard the water, wash it well.
- Put the ignore (Taro) cooked in a blender with filtered water (see quantity in the ingredients).
- Beat well and add remaining water until a often milk is obtained.
- Filter and set aside for use in recipes.
- Advantage: Igname vegetable milk has a good cost, making it feasible its use. It is very creamy, because the ignore has starch, which when heated becomes a thickener.
- Disadvantage: It may not be found so easily as other roots and still has the “confusion” on Yam (in the texts we do not know which ignore they refer to, be careful!). But it is a fact that Yam-Taro should be consumed only cooked so as not to cause malaise and some unwanted reactions in its consumption (idem to the character, with which we do not deal here, but it is worth reinforcing).
Iii) coconut milk:
-
Beat the ingredients in a blender, filter, leave to cool.
- Advantage: It is a better known flavor, it can also be purchased ready. It is also a very economically valid option and often found “ready”, more easily industrialized.
- Disadvantage: The removal of the coconut pulp requires a good job and it is not always easily the fresh coconut. The best if possible is to buy only the pulp if possible. For milk the pulp is only the white part. Although health is beneficial, the coconut pulp has a greater concentration of fat and excessive consumption is not recommended.
IV) Almond milk:
- In a deep bowl, put the almonds.
- Add enough water to cover them completely.
- Immerse, covered with plastic or covered wrapping for at least 12 hours.
- Drain this water and beat in a blender with filtered water (measured in the ingredients).
- Filter in a vool or a thin sieve (since granules cannot pass through the sieve).
- Advantage: It combines the (sweet) flavor with excellent nutritional properties (“good fats”). The many almonds can be used to produce delicious desserts and cakes.
- Disadvantage: The time of the sauce (parts at night and will not even notice …) and the cost of almonds, makes this milk expensive. It is still much cheaper to do at home, but even so the almond is not cheap.
V) Rice milk:
- Beat the cooked rice with filtered water, filter in a thin sieve or a voal colander and set aside.
- Advantage: If you use full rice, there will be a better use of nutrients (carbohydrates) and “milk” will have a better nutritional value (more fibers and vitamins).
- Disadvantage: Thin consistency and has a characteristic flavor of rice, and it is advisable to add vanilla essence to neutralize this flavor.
