Following soy milk, which is attracting attention as an alternative to dairy products, "almond milk" has recently become common in supermarkets. It is a product that is slowly gaining popularity due to its refreshing yet milky flavor and almond scent. If you've seen it in the supermarket but haven't tried it yet, you're probably wondering what it tastes like.
This time, Ms. S from the My Navi Woman editorial department, who is a fan of almond milk, will approach its charm!
Mr. S"Almond effect" is delicious and looks good for your health, so I often drink it in the morning or between work. I hear that nuts are good for beauty, but it's hard to eat them every day when I'm busy, so I'm getting support from "Almond Effect"!
You can take almond milk deliciously and easily!What are Glico products?
Mr. S from the editorial department found a release while working that ``In recent years, almond milk has been attracting attention as a highly nutritious and plant-based milk.'' I liked the smoothness and deliciousness of almond milk and drank it in the morning and between work, but it seems to be more attractive! I want to know more details! I decided to look at Glico's HP.
Mr. SAlmond grains contain about 300 times more vitamin E (α-tocopherol) than sesame, about 9 times more dietary fiber than lettuce, and about 1.8 times more than burdock! Surprised by the unexpected nutritional value!
The relationship between Glico and almonds has a long history, dating back to the 1930s. When Riichi Ezaki, the founder of Glico, visited the United States as an inspection team in 1930, he visited nut specialty stores in Chicago and New York and encountered almonds. At that time, almost no almonds were imported into Japan, but Riichi Ezaki focused on not only their deliciousness but also their nutritional value. In 1955, we launched “Almond Glico,” with the catchphrase “One grain is twice as delicious,” and in 1958, we launched Japan’s first “Almond Chocolate,” which contained whole almonds.
There is now a growing awareness in the world from animal-based to plant-based dairy alternatives such as cow's milk. In particular, the US almond milk market has grown about 158% over the past five years.

Mr. SGlico had an image of almonds, but it has such a long history! Moreover, almond milk is attracting so much attention in the United States!
A qualitative survey of healthy longevity conducted by Glico in 2012 found that many people consume almonds for their health, and that the health benefits of almonds are recognized. However, as they age, their teeth become weaker, making it difficult to chew hard foods and grains.
Therefore, I thought of almonds as an easy-to-take beverage instead of solids, which was the trigger for the development of " Almond Effect ".
Mr. SIt is a wonderful development secret story that elderly people can easily consume almonds! I would recommend it to grandma and grandpa.
Glico, which originally focused on almonds early on and commercialized them, has released various almond milk products in recent years in order to contribute to the health promotion of many Japanese people and make almonds more familiar.
Mr. S, who learned that almond milk is being developed as a variety of products, discovered a product called “Almond Milk Cafe Au Lait.”
Mr. SGlico's "cafe au lait" has a name that combines almond milk! what kind of drink is that...
