Peanut milk
Peanut milk is a non-dairy beverage created using peanuts and water. Recipe variations include salt, sweeteners, and grains. It does not contain any lactose and is therefore suitable for people with lactose intolerance.
Similar in production to almond milk, soy milk, and rice milk, peanuts are ground, soaked, sometimes heated, and then filtered through a fine filter: the resulting liquid is considered the "milk".History
The earliest known production of peanut milk was by the Incas in the 17th century. Almeda Lambert published a recipe for it in 1899 and its use was promoted by George Washington Carver from 1919.Potential use against malnutrition
Researchers developed a vitamin- and mineral-fortified infant formula that used peanut milk as the protein, fat and calorie source.
