Cooking With A Vegan Egg Substitute

By Martha Meyer


These days, more people are becoming curious about the various vegetarian diets out there. The difference between now and a few decades ago is that the variety and taste are vast. Even better, the latter has greatly improved so much that some people cannot tell the difference. This holds especially true for those who love their meat and dairy, as the variations of vegan egg substitute may taste like the real thing.

While eggless powders can be great for making savory dishes, the modern eggless products are more versatile. Anyone can make an omelet, souffle, or Asian rice entrees without tasting the difference. The taste and texture also work in most sweet baked goods.

If a person is contemplating cutting back on dairy and meat products, these new food innovations make the change a lot easier. Many are seeing the health benefits and ease of preparation as a plus. Modern food manufacturers keep the typical user in mind, who would prefer a fast but healthy meal without having to mix a dense powder until it is palatable.

Another alternative for breakfast would be to mix vegan egg powders with egg white products. While this is not entirely free of dairy, it does make a more substantial meal with a lot of fiber. Mixing can also help cut the cost since some vegan products can be priced higher than most dairy items.

This may also be a good idea for baking, as some people like to add tofu or eggless mayonnaise as a binder for cake or meatloaf recipes. Before making a purchase, it helps to read the ingredients list and directions before buying. Most manufacturers will list restrictions and meal preparation ideas on the package.

If buying from a health food store, staff can often make recommendations for cooking and other uses. While some chain grocers may have better prices, specialty stores tend to have a wider selection. More flexitarians and people converting to other forms of vegetarianism say the selection found at these stores, as well as online vendors, makes it easier to stay on track.

People who are familiar with these products often have tips on how to cook each product on the market. There are many types of seasonings on the market that are targeted to vegans or those cutting back on gluten. For those who are new to this type of diet, it may be wise to keep the usual condiments nearby until they find a brand they like.

Although some vegan items can be found at chain grocers, there are many online sellers as well as specialty grocers that offer a wider variety. The latter also tends to have a knowledgeable staff or run a blog with recipes and other related content that answers questions or is inspirational. Often vegan food sites can give honest reviews on new and current products on the shelves today.
