Homemade plant milk and its benefits

It is true that in the organic market you will find numerous options, good tasting and healthy, but by making your own plant-based milk you avoid the BPA that is in the Tetra Paks, and you get a fresh and live food, known as RAW (raw) when you use the raw raw material. It is a perfect substitute for animal milk for those who have lactose intolerance, for vegetarians, vegans or simply for those who appreciate light digestion.
