If you watch closely almonds have two little dugs.

An excellent question, Wilberforce!!! Even I want to know the answer to that … “inquiry!!!”

You’re too young, you’ll have nightmares.

Milking almonds is easy but roping and branding is tough work. You ever been kicked by an angry almond?

Milking an almond is udderly ridiculous.

Watching all those Discovery and Nat Geo vet shows I’ve learned that the only animal milk that is truly compatible with humans is goat’s milk. A close second is camel’s milk. However, have you ever tried to milk a camel???

vewwwwwy cahhhfuwwwy…

well, first you get a tiny stool, ….

maybe somethings are better left unanswered…

Just like you do with a cow’s udder. You squeeze it and milk comes out!

We spray deer repellant on our hostas, which supposedly contains wolf’s urine. I wonder how they collect that!

Seems like a logical question!

Same way you milk soys and oats… ☺

Common grocery almond milk contains only about “2% almonds” but it’s actually less because it’s filtered. That’s let’s them claim “made with almonds.” The rest is thickeners and whiteners and sugars and of course lots of water. Real almond milk is made with one cup of almonds to two cups of water. So, it’s just almond flavored milk-like drink.

Oat milk is somewhat better, since oats are cheaper and are easily extracted. They still add oils for thickening.

I know that the American Dairy Farmer will very adamantly remind everyone that there is no such thing as Almond “milk” or any other type of “nut” milk! It is nut JUICE!

By the time that milk get into the box.. it has probably been through more machines that that almond did.

Only a Thornapple, would consider almond juice to be milk. At least Wilberforce has a basic understanding of what constitutes MILK.

With teeny tiny hands…

Squeeeeeeze…..

Bet the all knowing wise one at the top of the Himalayas doesn’t even know the answer to that question. I’d go, but my feet get cold easily.

It’s a reasonable question for a child, who can still drink normal cow milk.

I think the better question is why would you want to.

I have always wondered. . .

I’ll take 2% cow’s milk, thank you.

I myself am still trying to figure that one out as almonds are not mammals…..

Sorry butt… It’s not anything like cows milk. My wife likes it though!

I’m thinking we have milked this subject long enough. ;-)

Good question!

With extreme pressure milked from company executives.

Carefully. Very carefully.

Google Steven Colbert/ Late Show/“A almond doesn’t lactate”.

leave it to a child to ask the direct question no one seems to be able to ask

Yes! This has bothered me right from the very beginning of almond “milk.” It’s not milk! It’s juice!!! Anything that does not come from a mammal is juice! Or blood, but we won’t go there …

I just can’t bring myself to drink nut juice

I was wondering that myself…

It’s Nut Juice.

Plant based liquids should not legally be allowed to be called milk
