Beverages, almond milk, unsweetened, shelf stable

Shelf-stable unsweetened almond drink, mostly water with a small share of ground almonds and added minerals and vitamins. Per 100 g the record reports 15 kcal, 0.4 g of protein, 1.3 g of carbohydrate and 1.0 g of fat, with 97% water. The USDA measure is one cup of 262 g: 39 kcal and 1 g of protein, about an eighth of the protein in the same cup of cow's milk.

Calcium reaches 184 mg per 100 g (14% of the Daily Value, 482 mg or 37% per cup) and vitamin E 6.3 mg (42%, 16.6 mg per cup). Almonds alone would not give a drink this dilute those levels, so they reflect fortification, which the record does not itemize and which varies by brand. The 2020 and 2022 Foundation records linked below analysed shelf-stable and refrigerated products separately.
