Dear MEL Topic Readers,
How vegan cheese is made without milk
Demands for plant-based alternatives to meat and dairy products are soaring as people are becoming more conscious of the environment and animal welfare. And where there is demand, there will always be supply. Food suppliers and restaurants have been making substantial investments in creating plant-based alternatives. Vegan meat, for example, is becoming popular on the menus of hamburger shops, restaurants, and even home kitchens. Another rising demand is vegan cheese. Cheese has long been used as the main ingredient of certain dishes like pizza and cheese fondue as well as an enhancer of flavor and taste for sandwiches and pasta. But there aren’t so many kinds of dairy-free cheese alternatives available on shelves. That’s partly because of cheese’s unique characteristic, being solid at room temperature and melts when heated, which is not easy to replicate. Some ingredients have been used to make cheese alternatives more like real cheese by using cashew nuts and palm. However, there are questions about workers’ safety and welfare, most of whom are in poor countries in Asia and Africa, and nutritious benefits and concerns for consumers. Do we really need to replace cheese with something that is not compatible with it? How about levying a heavy tax on cheese to curb consumption?
Enjoy reading the article and learning about cheese alternatives.
