Vegan Cheese
Vegan Cheese is a plant-based cheese alternative used in sandwiches, spreads and cooking as a substitute for dairy cheese; varieties range from meltable blocks to soft spreads and it’s common in vegan and dairy-free cuisines. It can be a meaningful source of protein, providing about 20g of protein per 100g, while also contributing substantial fat and some calcium depending on the recipe. Many commercial vegan cheeses are highly processed and can be higher in added fats and salt than whole-food alternatives, so choosing less-processed options or homemade versions can improve their nutritional profile.
