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.

Now, liquid alternatives bring more in terms of taste and consistency of the egg. This is great for those who like to bake or just desire a little more versatility while remaining faithful to their dietary preferences. What is even better news is that many of these products can be found in most supermarket chains as well as specialty grocers.

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.

Although eggs contain many nutrients, there is also the cholesterol to consider. Prepackaged eggs whites often do not have enough taste or are too expensive with a short expiration date. What many like about powdered and liquefied products is that they last longer than most dairy egg products.

This is what happened to plant based meat products, as well as natural sweeteners like agave nectar and coconut sugar. With social media, a lot of these smaller brands can focus more on what users are saying rather than dealing with the overhead and other issues that commonly affect large corporations. Being in tune with the user also allows them to focus on making improvements faster.

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.
