Sante Plant White Almond - almond drink with the addition of rice 330ml
How many words can there be for something that is supposed to replace milk but is not? The imagination of producers seems to be unlimited. And all because of EU law, which prohibits the use of names assigned to animal products in relation to plant products. All this so as not to mislead people.
Of course, such actions that are aimed at protecting consumers are praised. The use of cheap licks is simply dishonest, and yet even before the fashion for vegan substitutes, you could meet with deceptive labels. Examples? On the shelf with classic yellow, white, mold or long-maturing cheeses, it was not uncommon to find a flashy label with the words 'perfect for pizza'. The picture and slogan immediately suggested that it was mozzarella, but a careful analysis of the composition proved that it was only a mixture of milk and poor-quality fats. The same may apply to quasi-cream with the slogan '18% perfect for soups' or almost-butter with the note 'cream'. Manufacturers are simply trying to sell products that have a good association. However, they are far from the originals.
And today, this case also applies to plant delicacies. Milk can't be vegan because you can't milk plants. This is an indisputable argument. This is where imagination and ingenuity come into play. On the packaging, it is easiest to simply write 'plant drink'. Sometimes the label contains a term referring to the main ingredient ('soy', 'oatmeal', 'millet'), which is irresistibly associated with milk, especially since the graphic shows a milky liquid. Some used English names and that's what the Sante brand did, which launched Sante Plant White Almond. This vegan drink is a great substitute for milk. It does not contain sugar or dairy. Ideal for herbivores and people with lactose intolerance. It can be used in the same recipes as classic milk, but completely without worrying about the welfare of the cows. The plant substitute is white, as befits milk, and has a delicate, slightly sweet almond flavor. Drink non-milk - you will be great! :)
