No, almond milk is not coconut.
Almond milk is a plant-based milk alternative made from almonds and water. Coconut milk, on the other hand, is made from the flesh of coconuts. They are distinct products derived from different sources.
Here's a breakdown:
- Almond Milk: Made from almonds. A popular dairy-free alternative.
- Coconut Milk: Made from coconuts. Another common dairy-free alternative with a distinct flavor.
While both are often used as dairy-free milk alternatives, their ingredients and flavor profiles are entirely different. It's also important to note that coconut, while often used in a similar fashion to tree nuts, is classified as a fruit; however, individuals with tree nut allergies may still exhibit reactions to coconut.
