What to know about cashew milk
Cashew milk is a dairy swap that does what it is bought for: it grades clean for lactose, casein and whey, gluten, histamine and salicylates, so it suits lactose intolerance and cow’s milk protein avoidance. The two things to know are that it is a tree nut product, which is the genuine safety caveat rather than a digestive one, and that it carries a moderate GOS grade inherited from the cashew itself, so a splash in coffee behaves very differently from a large glass.
Watch for
- Cashew is a tree nut, so cashew milk is unsafe with tree nut allergy, and cashew allergy commonly travels with pistachio since the two are botanically related
- Moderate on galacto-oligosaccharides and mild overall on FODMAPs, so small servings suit an elimination phase while a tall glass or a smoothie base can add up
- Commercial cartons often add gums, oils and flavourings, so if a specific brand bothers you, compare its label against a plainer one before you rule out cashew milk entirely
- Not compatible with paleo or AIP eating
