Almond nuts are native to the Middle East but are enjoyed almost everywhere in the world. The nuts are eaten as snacks, ground up into flour, and can be also turned into creamy milk with some pretty nutty benefits. Almond milk is one of the most popular almond products because it has a very important trait: it’s lactose-free. People with lactose intolerance appreciate almond milk as a healthy and tasty alternative to traditional dairy drinks. Others simply love its sweet, nutty flavor. You can drink almond milk plain or use it in recipes that call for animal milk. Beyond its taste, almond milk packs some impressive health benefits.
