Enjoy the rich, creamy texture of macadamia milk, a delightful plant-based beverage perfect for your morning coffee, smoothies, or baking. This dairy-free alternative offers a subtly sweet and nutty flavor profile, making it a versatile ingredient for a healthy diet.

Storage Time

Once opened, consume within 5-7 days when refrigerated. Unopened, shelf-stable cartons can last for several months past the best-by date if stored properly in a cool, dry place.

Temperature

Store unopened cartons in a cool, dry pantry away from direct sunlight. Once opened, refrigerate at or below 4°C (40°F).

Freezing

Macadamia milk can be frozen to extend its shelf life, though its texture may change slightly upon thawing. Pour the milk into freezer-safe containers, leaving some headspace for expansion, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw slowly in the refrigerator overnight. Shake well before consuming, as separation is common after freezing.

Signs of Spoilage

• Sour or off odor, distinct from its natural nutty aroma.
• Curdled or lumpy texture, indicating separation beyond normal settling.
• Visible mold growth on the surface or inside the container.
• Unpleasant, bitter taste.
