Is there a guy who can provide me with the best nut milk in the market ? /s
Is the metric for a better milk is the length of time it lasts? >

Yes
-Someone who also hates having to buy things on a weekly basis. >

Organic milk costs a little bit more but lasts LITERALLY MONTHS! >

It’s because organic milk is generally ultra pasteurized, regular milk lasts just as long or longer if it’s ultra pasteurized. You can get regular ultra pasteurized milk In tetra-packs that will last years unrefrigerated >


You can get regular ultra pasteurized milk In tetra-packs

If it is in tetra-packs it is sterilized milk. >

Ultra pasteurized (280 for 1-2sec) milk is good for 60-90 days in cold storage, if you put that same milk in a tetrapak it’s usually ultra high pasteurized (280-300 for 2 sec) and is shelf stable. It can be exactly the same milk or it can be pasteurized at a slightly higher temp. >

Hehe, nut milk. >

Now you can't spell nutrition without NUT >

Ask me that again after post-nut clarity hits >

Your mom says my nut milk is the best >

That's what she said >

r/technicallythetruth >

If only they made a type of ultra pasteurized milk that was shelf stable. That'd be a million dollar idea right there. >

Well, you're wrong because that exists already...
"Box milk" is shelf stable for like 4-6 months at room temperature till you open it.  Then for like a week maybe two refrigerated after opening.
Not popular in America, but in South America it is. >

It was sarcasm. I know about UHP milk. >

Then put a /s at the end f your comment. We live in a society there are rules in place to avoid these situations >

Who made you dictator of reddit? >

I thought it was pretty obvious. I agree with avoiding the /s and if someone doesn't understand, oh well. >

Some oat milk is shelf safe until you open it. Then you need to refrigerate it. >

I FUCK with oat milk dude! God. Damn. Fuck yea! Unsweetened vanilla? Sublime. >

It takes cereal to a whole new level. > >

Feel like I'd get arrested if I tried selling it idk how these other guys get away with it. >

Your mom loves my nut milk >

I will say I was impressed by the refrigerated shelf life of almond milk, but it doesn't taste anywhere near as good as 2% >

It’s nut juice >

Organic milk is Ultra Pasteurized to remove the bacteria that curdles it. 
So it lasts like 3 months. Next time you are at the store, take a look. 
I bought 2 gallons yesterday that expire in March. >

the only thing I buy organic - it has a practical impact and isn't just marketing nonsense >

Damn I also really love nut milk , oh wait you’re talking about the one you get at the store , oh >

If you like your milk having the consistency of liquid sand. >

Nut milk hardly contains nuts and is not healthy >

If it's the nut milk from stop and shop, STOP. That is not milk but whipped up hydrogenated oil >

They last 2-3 months and you buy 4 at a time? There's no way you're only grocery shopping every couple months if you actually use what you buy, so your logic doesn't make a lot of sense. Have my upvote for misunderstanding how milk works. >

Yes, because food is valued only by it's shelf life. >

Lactose free milk is the same way though and tastes better than nut milks >

I bought lactose free milk and it gave me explosive runs. Then I saw that they simply added Lactaid to it and was not lactose-free at all, it's all bullshit, it's a lie.
"Lactose-free" milk is a lie. It not only has lactose but they did nothing at all to remove lactose. >

I'm fairly certain that most containers of those milk say consume within 7 - 14 days from opening. >

That's a suggestion >

So is the expiration date on regular milk >

Nut milk is not milk so it can’t be compared. >

I got a couple containers of nut milk for ya >

you know you can get long life dairy milk right? >

Yeah man I buy the worst tasting milk and also the longest lasting, I only buy 4 gallons all year. >

Hey OP, just so you know, real milk freezes and thaws no problem.  I bought 25 litres of milk that was set to expire in 3 days and froze it.  The day before one runs out, I put the next one on the counter for 8 hours so it’s mostly thawed (still cold by then too).  The rest thaws over the couple days I drink it. >

Nut juice you mean >

The longer it lasts the more preservatives it has. Alternative milk products are full of oils, sugars and not many vitamins in comparison >

If it weren’t so terrible for the environment I’d get them more too. >

ultra-pasteurised milk lasts like 6-8 weeks. >

i mean my lactaid lasts a long time too, not sure why that would qualify it as better though >

I love 2%, and it doesn’t sit in my fridge long enough to go bad. Do you also buy bread and cheese that stays fresh for 2-3 months? >

Nut milk shouldn’t be called a milk… is there a nut tit? No. >

You can always get ultra high-temp pasteurized milk products. There are some shelf-stable milk products out there, too. The sell-by/best-by dates are usually 60 - 90 days out for refrigerated milks, and up to a year for shelf-stable dairy. >

How does the longevity of a milk make it better? 
I can give you kangaroo shit milk that will last you forever. This is just a karma farming post. >

Unless you really love guzzling nutmilk you can also buy long life cow milk >

I prefer badger milk myself; extra chunky is the best! /s >

Don't you have those groceries delivery service. Just call em they'll deliver in like 15 mins >

I guess.
If it's just on how long they last, yeah they are better. Taste on the other hand... "Nut wind" as my wife calls it, is great for things like oatmeal  or in coffee over milk if you're trying to cut calories. 
But straight for drinking. Hell. No.
A warm glass of milk at night beets out a cold glass of nut milk any day. >

Taste like dog water though, only for protein shakes for me. >

Next milk (Idr who makes it) is the only one I can handle cause the aftertaste isn’t as overpowering and it actually feels like milk.
Downside is it’s expensive as fuck >

There's also next to no real nutritional value in them, though.  If you can't have lactose-free milk, soy is your best bet, otherwise you're basically drinking nutty water. >

Taste difference isn't worth it. Dairy all the way. >

Do you not freeze your milk? It’s what I do with mine so they last longer. >

I do larger grocery hauls like OP and frankly freezer space is very precious when bulk shopping. The more shelf stable items the easier to store. I buy shelf stable milk for that exact reason >

Ah, fair enough. Half the time I’m surprised I still have room in mine sometimes. Though now that there are two extra people in the house, it’s been more barren as of late. >

They arent milk though, call them nut juice instead. >

Cow's nut juice >

Bull semen isn't milk, but then again neither are your "plant based" milks. >

I've never have my plant based milks >

Call me old-fashioned, but I just think that "milk" should have to come from the mammary glands of Bovidae-family animals.  If you make a white beverage of out something else, call it a "plant-based milk substitute", but it's not milk. >

Except they taste like nuts, and not like milk. >

Uh, it's only called milk because a marketing committee perceived that associating the stuff with dairy would help consumer acceptance.  Otherwise it should be called nut juice.
From mammals: milk
From plants: juice, nectar, take your pick. >

Those marketing committees have been hard at it since the 13th century? That's dedication.
Edit: I'd respond directly but no, they're not happy, because they immediately blocked me for pointing out that plant milks have been called that for centuries now. 
Now if you want to talk about marketing teams working overtime, have a look at the campaigning the dairy industry does. >

it's probably called milk  because it's fatty, juices and nectars are mostly sugar
I think he was not happy about you questioning him from ur downvotes haha >

for some reason Horizon organic milk lasts as long as nut milk. it's got one hell of a shelf life and it's delicious. >

I don’t care who ridicules me for drinking milk. Horizon is THE SHIT. >

100% >

I’ll give you some nut milk >

Though the absolute reliance on bees to pollinate almond trees and the huge quantity of pesticides used to ensure the fruit growth is devastating to the bee colonies they import (someone said it’s like sending bees to war). >

It’s just a different drink.  It’s not actually milk tho >

Milk will always beat juice and flavored waters. >

Nut milks are better because they reduce animal suffering. >

What about the bees?!!! Won't someone please think of the bees!!! >

Nah. Dairy all the way. Too many carbs in milk alternatives. >

I laughed but then remembered Macadamia milk is so rich it is perfect for coffee, tea, or straight-up drinking. I love it.
I have dairy digestion issues, so other benefits besides spoilage reduction:
1. If people are lactose/dairy intolerant
2. It tends to be more nutritious and has fewer calories than cow milk
3. It is more sustainable than cow milk >

Source for 2 and 3? >

You keep an opened container in the refrigerator for more than a month and it's probably a rank bacteria colony inside there. >

Deez nuts >

"Nut milks" have nothing to do with dairy and are in a complety different category. If you want to compare it to something than compare it to orange and apple juice. It should really be called a nut drink. Its illegal here to call it milk. Just like you cant call plant based proteins meat. >

Yes!!! That’s why I like alternative milks too. Especially as someone who lives alone. >

Oat is a better creamer than half and half. >

Hemp seed 'milk' is even better. Most oat milks have to add a lot of other oils in order to get the consistency to even 'color' coffee. But the fats in hemp seed do a pretty good job. >

Exponentially better for the planet as well. >

I use almond milk creamer for this same exact reason. I don’t worry about it spoiling because it takes me a bit to use even a smaller bottle. >

Where are you from because here in the usa of refrigerators work and our milk last for multiple months >

Just switched to almond milk this month for just that reason lol. Feel I'll regret it later as I develop a lactose intolerance 😂 >

I had to switch to almond "milk" recently. It doesn't last kong enough to go bad lol, 8 oz of vanilla almond juice with breakfast every day >

What is the percentage of almonds in that there 'vanilla almond juice'? >

Lactose free milk is the same way. It’s good for months. >

I'm open to any milk if it's cheaper. But milk is more expensive usually >

In Europe (at least in Croatia where I’m from) they sell shelf stable dairy just like they do with plant milks - don’t remember how long they last compared to plant mills as I haven’t had dairy in 6 years but at least a few weeks! >

I like buying lactose free coffee creamer. Lasts longer, too! >

I mean it depends on how much milk you drink. >

This community is really showing its overlap with /r/teenagers in this post. >

And when it does go bad you get a cool surprise where it doesn't taste sour like dairy milk but...moldy.
