      @@penthactussoul yeah but since you're not eating much of the almonds or whatever nut you're using, there is little nutritional value and a lot of recipe blogs and "influencers" don't know this or neglect to share this info (a lot of people instantly think natural = better without a thought). this is why there are added vitamins/minerals from commercial brands in order to better match regular milk for those who consume it as a vegan alternative or could use the extra nutrients. you'd need to drink an inhuman amount of homemade to even match cow's milk in terms of health properties and even then, nuts don't have all the same nutrients so it depends on needs.
      it's a toss up -- you can go au naturel without preservatives and fillers for a better, richer taste and freshness, but you won't get much from it and it can be pricy or wasteful if not used quickly so it's not always feasible for the average person.
      for something like this, though, I think homemade is the way to go since it's less watery and a special treat. plus, depending on the brand's emulsification process and type of nut, they can taste weird after high heat.

  • @Redorgreenful
    @Redorgreenful 3 ปีที่แล้ว +80

    What I notice between lvl 2 and lvl 3 chefs is that lvl 2 tends to have dishes that look slightly more fanciful than lvl 3. Both are well-plated, but there are more things going on with lvl 2. Lvl 3 have more complicated processes. The ingredients are more elaborate and take more time to prepare. But you don’t necessarily see that on the surface.
