Is Vegan cheese good for you? What about the taste?!
I was at the grocery store, and I was looking at a bag of non-dairy cheese!. I looked at the back, and the ingrediants list was so long!. Certainly that can't be healthy! And how does it taste!? Is it worth it!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
It doesn't really offer much health-wise except maybe a bit of calcium and protein, possibly B12 if it's been enriched, but it's a good way to spice up a veggie burger, salad, pasta dish, soup, etc!.!.!.
As for the taste!.!.!. Definitely noticeably different than regular cheese but some brands are better than others!. I like tofutti mozzarella the best!. Stay away from the cheddar!! It's gross!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't like vegan cheese!. Or "cheeze" as it's often called!. I agree entirely about how processed faux meats and cheeses are!. I generally stay away from them because of this, and because often, they taste horrible and they're far too expensive!.
As a side note, most "non-dairy" cheese is made with a milk derivative that the USDA for some godforsaken reason has deemed non-dairy!. Unless it's certified vegan, beware!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
