Expo West 2016
Macadamia nuts take center stage in new nut milks
Macadamia nut-based milks abounded at Expo West with the launch of Milkadamia’s self-named nut milk, Royal Hawaiian Orchards’ Macadamia Milk and the relaunch of SunCoast Gold’s reformulated Macadamia Milk. The suddenly popular nut provides a creamier, smoother beverage than some milks made from other nuts. Milkadamia comes from Australia in Original and Unsweetened and promises 50% more calcium than 1% dairy milk and is an excellent source of vitamins D and B12. It also is free from cholesterol and carrageenan. Royal Hawaiian Orchards’ Macadamia Milks come in unsweetened and sweetened original and unsweetened and sweetened vanilla, is shelf stable and Non-GMO Project Verified. Suncoast Gold’s Macadamia Milk also comes in unsweetened and original and tastes like drinking ice cream, according to a company representative at Expo West.
