Replace dairy in a nutritious and delicious way.
Cashew milk has a delicious flavor and adapts excellently to different types of needs in the kitchen, so it is also useful in baking and pastry. I have used them for a long time since I did not find another milk that could be more functional and adaptable.
In addition to its wonderful flavor is its incredible nutritional value, full of antioxidants and cholesterol free, they produce a variety of completely healthy and much-needed minerals, among which are melanin, collagen and elastin.

Hello, could you tell me what is the function of the tara gum? Thank you very much!

Hi Nina, with pleasure.
I tell you that tara gum works as an emulsifier, that means that it keeps the ingredients integrated. Without the tara gum, the natural fat of the cashew would separate from the water, which we usually say in Peru as "it is cut". To maintain that smooth texture, tara gum is needed. I hope you prepare it and share your experience with us by this means.

Thank you teacher for the recipe, a question, Tara gum is not necessary to cook?

Hello Silvia, it is not necessary to cook, it is emulsified with the shake. Kisses.
