Butter is a classic animal product. It is made from cow’s milk and is therefore not vegan. But in the meantime, fortunately, there is vegan butter. This is perfect for baking, spreading and frying and is available in almost every supermarket. In this article we present you our favorites of the vegan butter alternatives .
Butter is made from cow’s milk . In this process, the cream (cream) or the whey cream of the milk is whipped until the small fat globules contained in the cream burst open and clump together. The final product is then the well-known butter, which separates from the remaining liquid (buttermilk). Then the butter is washed, kneaded, shaped, packed and cooled.
So a dairy product like butter is not vegan. Butter is also often included as an ingredient in finished products such as frozen vegetable mixes or baked goods. Always pay close attention to the list of ingredients of the respective product. Since butter is also an allergen (milk), the term is always bold and quickly apparent.
But no need to worry, butter can be super replaced in the plant-based diet. You can find vegan butter in just about any supermarket. Organic markets now also have a large selection of vegan butter. Conventional Vegetable margarine is also a good alternative to conventional butter. But if you miss the familiar taste and texture of animal butter, these vegan butter alternatives might interest you:
