Almond milk, plain, unsweetened
This shows vit D and a lot of calcium. Do you think this assumes it is fortified? For plain almonds no vit D or calcium is recorded. It is a generic listing for the almond milk. I'm making home-made so should I just put in my own recipe? It's just almonds and water. I'm feeling lazy but I'll do it if I have to. I don't see any other option for almond milk except store brands.
Sorry for all the questions today.

In many countries, plant-based beverages are required to be fortified with calcium and vitamin D (among other nutrients). If you are making your own almond milk, the amount of calcium would be less and there would be no vitamin D. As such, I suggest you input it as a recipe.

The generic listing of "Almond milk, plain, unsweetened" is likely measured and averaged values from a number of storebought brands. Like Susan mentioned I would reccomend creating you own recipe with almonds and water for the most accurate reading. (If you do this you could also conveniently create a gram measurement!)
