RE: 4 Game Changing Veggie Burgers that 'BLEED' (and Taste) Like Real Meat! 🍔😍
I fell off the the vegan wagon, but I tried a number of alternative meat products, mostly out of curiosity. None of them were really that satisfying. I have not tried any of the above, or seen them in stores, although I am interested to try them out. I'm pretty curious about legit food and all.
What I do know about is cultured nut cheese, which I've had the opportunity to give a shot. They are a non-dairy cheese that is real cheese, because it's made with real cheese cultures, but don't have any of the animal products in them. This is the best of the best as far as vegan alternatives. None of the nut cheeses I tried had the same flavor or texture as dairy cheeses, but they do have that tangy cheese flavor that makes you go yum!
Treeline is one that I've tried. Thier cashew cheese is EXCELLENTE!!!!! ok, I'm done :)
Unfortunately a lot of alternatives are full of crazy ingredients which aren't so great but I'm really curious about the Don Lee Farms one here, they have the organic cert from the US and claim to be all about the good ingredients but I couldn't find a full list online since they are so new.
If you do try them. let me know. I'm super curious! I lived off veggie burgers when I first transitioned because I was having such a hard time giving up my emotional addiction to the food.
I've been making cheese like it's nobody's business lately. My dad got my senses all messed up ordering pizza around me all the time. I'll have to remember this brand next time I'm over that way or maybe you can pack some for me whenever you come over here finally ;) <3
You been making cheeses huh? I'm intrigued. How do you make cheese?
Well nut cheeses! I made an almond spread last week then a cashew pepperjack over the weekend and a bunch more I haven't even posted yet! They all are different, sometimes you use lemon and have it sit in the fridge to get it to take on this cheesy taste, sometimes you have to cook it to get it to melt. Depends what you're going for but some can be super easy!
but not fermented? that's da kine!
Depends how much time you want to put into it! If you want easy, quick stuff that tastes and acts like cheese, you can just do it like that. If you have more time, you can ferment and get into all kinds of craziness but it depends. I always eat everything before it's ready so I'm not the person to tell you about long term ;)
I'm all about fermented, because it gets that real tang from the culture :)
If it's just the tang you're after, you get it in a lot of the cheese recipes because of things like ACV which are already fermented so you still get that distinguishable taste :)
