Discovering Delicious Alternatives: Exploring Vegan Substitutes for a Flavorful Journey

Embarking on a vegan journey doesn't mean bidding farewell to your favorite dishes; it's an invitation to explore a world of delicious and compassionate alternatives. Whether you're transitioning to a vegan lifestyle or simply looking to incorporate more plant-based options, discovering vegan substitutes is a creative and exciting adventure. Join us as we dive into the realm of plant-powered culinary innovation and explore a myriad of delectable vegan alternatives.

Revolutionizing Your Plate:

Vegan substitutes empower you to transform traditional recipes into plant-based delights without compromising on flavor, texture, or satisfaction. From dairy-free milk to plant-based cheeses and meat alternatives, these swaps introduce you to a culinary wonderland where innovation meets compassion.

1. Dairy-Free Milk:

Bid farewell to cow's milk and welcome a plethora of plant-based milk options. Almond, soy, oat, coconut, and cashew milk are just a few alternatives that grace the shelves. Each variety offers a distinct taste and nutritional profile, ensuring there's a perfect match for every palate and purpose.

2. Plant-Based Cheese:

Vegan cheese options have evolved leaps and bounds, offering a range of flavors and textures that mimic dairy-based counterparts. From creamy cashew-based spreads to meltable mozzarella, these cheeses elevate your pizzas, sandwiches, and platters.

3. Egg Replacers:

When it comes to baking or binding, eggs have met their match. Applesauce, mashed bananas, flax or chia seeds, and commercial egg replacers work seamlessly to create the structure and moisture required in various recipes.

4. Meat Alternatives:

Plant-based meat substitutes have gained popularity for their ability to replicate the taste and texture of meat. Options like tofu, tempeh, seitan, and Beyond Meat offer a versatile canvas for creating savory dishes that satisfy even the most discerning palates.

5. Nutritional Yeast:

Nutritional yeast isn't just a seasoning; it's a game-changer. With its cheesy flavor, it adds depth and umami to your dishes, making it an ideal alternative to Parmesan and other cheese toppings.

6. Aquafaba: The Magical Bean Water:

Aquafaba, the liquid found in canned chickpeas, acts as an incredible egg white substitute. Whipped aquafaba can be used to create light and airy meringues, macarons, and even vegan mayonnaise.

7. Coconut Cream: A Creamy Delight:

For decadent cream-based dishes, coconut cream steps in as a luscious substitute. Its rich and velvety texture adds indulgence to curries, soups, and desserts.

8. Silken Tofu: The Creamy Base:

Silken tofu serves as a versatile base for creamy sauces, dressings, and desserts. Its neutral taste and smooth texture make it an excellent blank canvas for a variety of flavors.

9. Jackfruit: Nature's Pulled Pork:

Unripe jackfruit's fibrous texture and mild flavor make it an exceptional stand-in for pulled pork or shredded meat in savory dishes.

10. Agar Agar: A Plant-Based Gelatin:

Agar agar, derived from seaweed, is a plant-based alternative to gelatin. It's used to create jellies, custards, and other gelled desserts.

Conclusion: Redefining Culinary Creativity:

Exploring vegan substitutes is an invitation to reimagine your favorite dishes and embrace a world of culinary creativity. These alternatives not only cater to your taste buds but also align with your values of compassion and sustainability. Whether you're recreating comfort food classics or crafting innovative new recipes, vegan substitutes are your allies in a plant-powered culinary journey that delights and nourishes.

So apparently jackfruit is a great meat substitute and acts a lot like chicken or pork, and I saw that my local shop has it canned. So I would like to try it.

But when searching, all the recipies are either curry (we already have a curry recipe that we make with either squash or sweet potato and we also vary the sauce so we don't really need any more curry variations) or tacos/tortillas/enchiladas/wraps and, I dunno, I feel like that's kind of cheating because you can put pretty much anything in a wrap anyway. I found one "chicken" noodle soup recipe that replaces the chicken with jackfruit, that might be cool - but we do already do soups, and it also looked like the recipe makes a lot of soup and it didn't seem that easy to halve...

The other common one is making pulled pork-like stuff from jackfruit, which I'm a little bit interested in - but then all the recipies are like "pulled jackfruit sandwich!" which, ehh, I feel like the bread would need to be the star of that. What else other than a sandwich or taco would you have pulled pork with/on?

Chicken is made into nuggets sometimes, but our menu already includes these really good frozen Mexican nuggets that are good with frozen fries, so it's a good solid "make something easy in the oven" -solution.

.

And it also feels like I suddenly can't even remember the existence of any foods that aren't curry, soup, or a taco/wrap/bread thing. Like. What do humans even eat? And to make this even more of a mindfuck, my mom never made curry or taco type foods, but I'm pretty sure I didn't grow up eating nothing but soup. But what did we eat? I remember a lot of potatoes, with either a sauce or a meat of some sort? Can you do jackfruit in that kind of context? Do people eat pulled pork with mash, for example? But surely we didn't eat potatoes at every meal either?

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to decrease your footprint on our struggling planet, April 22 – Earth Day – is the perfect chance. All over the world, species are dying out due to the destruction of habitats, with horrific images of sealife hampered by trash becoming common in the news, including the story last month of a dead whale washing up on a beach in the Philippines with more than 40 kg of plastic inside its stomach.

It’s time to act. And, as we are increasingly being told, our diets are one of areas in which we can make a real difference. Transport and refrigeration of foods is one of the key killers of our planet. Eating sustainably is the fastest way to reduce your footprint, and in a country like Cambodia, with loads of beautiful fresh local produce available, it isn’t such a big task.

Drink the coffee grown in Mondul Kiri. Eat locally grown fruits, such as bananas, coconuts and mangos. Local chicken – it goes on and on.

Or have you tried jackfruit? Not straight from the tree, but repurposed and substituted for meat – a trend that is catching on around the world in the face of growing evidence that our hunger for meat, and particularly beef, is responsible for the destruction of our the Amazon Rainforest, which is the lungs of our planet.

The humble and ubiquitous fruit, with its wholesome, stringy texture, has become a favourite of local chefs, too. Its versatility allowing it to be the feature ingredient in a curry, a substitute for pulled pork in burgers and tacos, or to liven up a sweet borbor.

Use Earth Day to take a step towards a lighter footprint: take public transport; recycle; say no to plastics; turn off your television; buy reusable shopping bags; become a vegetarian for a day; or plant some trees – every bit makes a difference, and it will change the way you think about your impact on the planet and set an example for whoever is watching you. #ADyummydiary #ADfood #food #cambodia #earthday #angkor #Thaliashospitality #greenbiz #csr #savetheplanet #oneplanet #photography

"The good news is that you are trying to eat veg! The bad news is that you’re thinking how much you will miss all your old favorite foods. Well, guess what? The better news is that going veg doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice the dishes you love most. Pretty much anything you used to eat can be made with plant-based ingredients – even really meaty dishes like burgers, meatballs, and Buffalo wings. It just takes a little imagination, a bit of creativity, and the benefit of some tips and guidelines to help you create delicious vegan versions of those recipes. Soon you will be making delicious, satisfying meals that will satisfy your cravings, and before you know it, you will realize you don’t even miss the meat at all. Get your veg on with these 10 substitutes: Tofu, Tempeh, Seitan, and TVP You may not think of tofu or tempeh as vegetables, but they are plant-based and made from soybeans. TVP, or texturized vegetable protein, is also made from soy. Seitan is made from wheat gluten. The meat in any recipe can be replaced with one of these plant-based options. Tofu makes the perfect swap-out for chicken whether you want Crispy Tofu Nuggets, Moroccan Cutlets in a Lemon-Olive Sauce, or chunks for Chinese food like Kung Pao Tofu. Tempeh is wonderful for fish dishes because it has a flaky texture. Try it in “Crab” Cakes or to make Breaded “Fish” Fillets. It can also be ground up to act as ground beef for Tempeh Meatballs or tacos. TVP comes in all shapes and sizes and it can replace any meat including ground beef. Try it in this Chik’n Salad with Cranberries and Pistachios or in Tacos Sin Carne. Seitan can be flavored to taste exactly like beef or pork. You won’t believe the decadence you will get in a plate of Balsamic BBQ Seitan Ribs or a thick, juicy Seitan Steak in Beurre Blanc Sauce. Mushrooms When you want that meaty taste, that umami, mushrooms are the way to go. Their flavor is rich, earthy, and meaty, especially cremini or Portobello mushrooms. They are healthy and filling and can replace meat in any recipe. My favorite way to eat mushrooms is to saute them in vegan butter and add thyme, black pepper, and balsamic vinegar. Then I serve them over polenta unless I’m piling them up on a crispy roll to make a French Dip sandwich. Try mushrooms in this Mushroom Stroganoff or as a vegan “Lamb” Burger. Impress your dinner guests by serving them Stuffed Mushrooms with Pecans and  Portobello Wellington . Jackfruit If you have not yet tried jackfruit, you need to go out and get some. Technically, jackfruit is a fruit but incredibly, it can stand in for meat in savory dishes. You can buy it raw or already cut up in a can. Jackfruit has a very slight sweet taste but not so much that you can’t use it to make a decadent, satisfying Philly Cheesesteak. Jackfruit is perfect for barbecue sandwiches, stir-fries, or any dish that uses beef, chicken, or pork. Eggplant When anyone goes veg, eggplant is probably the first vegetable that comes to mind, but you can do so much more with it than just make parmigiana. Eggplant has a rich, meaty taste and it’s very versatile. If you think you’re not a fan of eggplant, try it in these Eggplant Burgers and you will change your mind. Other delicious ways to eat eggplant include Vegan Mozzarella-Stuffed Eggplant Meatballs, crispy Eggplant Fries with Marinara Dipping Sauce, and spiralized Eggplant Noodles. Lentils Lentils have always been a stand-in for meat since the beginning of veganism. Lentils are hearty and can replace ground beef easily. Lentils come in a variety of colors such as green, red, brown, and black. They cook up quickly, are inexpensive, and a small amount goes a long way. Definite recipes to try are Red Lentil Burgers with Kale Pesto, Lentil Meatballs, Double Decker Lentil Tacos, and South Indian Lentil Stew. Beans and Legumes Beans and legumes are amazing. They are inexpensive, healthy, filling, and there are so many to choose from: black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, aduki beans, chickpeas and black-eyed peas, to name just a few. Beans make for hearty soups, stews, and chilis. How about a White Bean and Kale Soup or a Tamale-Inspired Bowl with Beans? Beans and legumes can replace the meat to make incredible Hoisin Black Bean Burgers, Black-Eyed Pea Italian Sausages, or Chickpea “Tuna” Salad. Cauliflower Right now I bet you’re thinking, “How can cauliflower replace meat? It’s so white and bland.” Well, it can. When you season it and cook it up right, cauliflower can be the star of any dish. I like to use cauliflower to replace the chicken in Asian dishes like Cauliflower Manchurian and even Buffalo wings. You can slice the cauliflower into steaks and make an incredible Cauliflower Piccata. You can even make a pizza crust out of cauliflower. See? Cauliflower doesn’t seem so boring anymore, does it? Potatoes Potatoes are not just for side dishes. They can be the main ingredient in so many dishes. Whether you roast them, boil them, bake them, mash them, or fry them, potatoes are always a favorite. Start your meal with a Creamy Potato and Cauliflower Soup.  Potato Samosas with Coconut-Mint Chutney are spicy and delicious. Add potatoes to your burgers like in this Moussaka Burger with Béchamel Cheese Sauce and this Spicy Potato Cauliflower Burger. Don’t forget potatoes when it comes to dessert – that’s right. You will be blown away by this Chocolate Potato Cake. Beets Beets are nature’s candy. They are sweet and delicious and perfect for salads, but they have another side to them. Beets are also earthy and work well in savory dishes especially when roasted as in this Sesame Roasted Beets and Greens Dish. Amaze your guests with a beautiful platter of Beet Carpaccio and then treat them to Roasted Beet Burgers with Cumin-Scented Ketchup. Finish the meal with Beetroot Chocolate Frosted Cupcakes. Nuts Ok, technically, nuts are not vegetables but they can be used to make vegan cheese and to replace meat in your cooking. Nuts can be incredibly “meaty” and can make a hearty and rich “meat” loaf for dinner. Nuts are often added to vegan burgers for added “meatiness.” Try these Kidney Bean –Walnut Burgers with Mississippi Comeback Sauce. As you can see, when it comes to replacing meat in your meals, your options are practically limitless. Stop thinking of vegetables as side dishes and move them to the front of your plate. With all the hearty, “meaty” recipes you can create, there is no way you will miss the meat."

What Are the Benefits of Jackfruit? Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola What large, exotic fruit is related to breadfruit, hailed as a “miracle” crop that could help feed the world and tastes like pulled pork? Give up? The answer is jackfruit, aka Artocarpus heterophyllus. Common and relatively inexpensive in the Philippines, Jamaica, Southeast Asia, Brazil and other tropical climates, it’s beginning to show up more and more often in American grocery stores. While jackfruits are similar in color to the inside of a kiwi when they’re not yet ripe, and later brown, the similarity ends there because jackfruits are huge. A single fruit can weigh from 10 to 100 pounds, with skin that’s either a tightly packed network of spiny knobs or a flattened surface more like that of a grapefruit. They grow on trees as high as 50 feet (although they don’t thrive in cold temperatures), making them the largest fruit tree in the world. Jackfruit trees are perennial, so replanting isn’t necessary. Two growing seasons produce from 150 to 250 jackfruits per tree, annually. That’s a lot of food when you consider how large they are. While many might think jackfruit is a “throwaway” because there are so many other delicious fruits abundantly available in every grocery store, such as bananas, watermelon, apples and strawberries, this jumbo fruit is much more than it first appears, as it could literally save millions of people from starvation. One review1 recorded a comprehensive list of the many uses for jackfruit as a food, noting studies in regard to preparations and preservation, and noting its use as a traditional medicine due to compounds such as fatty acids, ellagic acid and amino acids like arginine, cystine, histidine, leucine, lysine, methionine and threonine.2 As Shyamala Reddy, biotechnology researcher at the University of Agriculture Sciences in Bangalore, India, noted: “Jackfruit is “a miracle. It can provide so many nutrients and calories — everything. If you just eat 10 or 12 bulbs of this fruit, you don't need food for another half a day.” Jackfruit’s Physical Characteristics Here are a few more interesting factoids: Jackfruit trees, related to the mulberry and fig, grow not only on the branches, but on tree trunks. Waiting until they’re so ripe they drop from the trees, however, renders them too ripe to eat; they need to be picked for optimal quality. In fact, unripe specimens exceed the quality of over-ripe ones. Exuding a strong, sweet, fruity scent (as well they should) a jackfruit is quite dense and milky white when you cut into it, with the outside lining rimmed with a wide lining of hundreds of fleshy “bulbs” or lobes, which contain highly nutritious seeds. They’re also amazingly versatile. Besides eating the bulbs in-hand, jackfruits can be used in jams, juices and ice cream or added to soups. The fruit can be roasted, dried and ground to make jackfruit curry or stir fry, as well as fruit dishes. NPR’s The Salt notes its distinct flavor: “The taste was described as ‘mellow mango,’ a little peachy, a little pear-like. The texture was compared to chunky applesauce or overripe banana. Also a little mealy and stringy.”3 That “stringy” quality comes in handy, hinting at what adventurous chefs have discovered: the jackfruit’s meat-like quality many people crave. After cooking for an hour or so, unripened jackfruit provides the flavor and mouth-feel of pulled pork. In fact, jackfruit is becoming more popular in vegan and vegetarian circles as a meat substitute. However, after harvesting, jackfruit won’t last more than a few weeks, so to preserve it for later consumption, it’s often canned or dried to make chips. It can also be mixed with coconut, bananas and honey for a popular dessert common in India. Jackfruit Nutrition for Food and Healing Jackfruit, as one might surmise, is very “foody.” One cup (165 grams) contains 2.4 grams of protein, 2.6 grams of fiber and around 190 calories, making it filling and nutritious. High fiber content acts as a laxative, moving food through your colon for smooth elimination to help prevent waste from sticking around and clogging your colon.4 Eventhe seeds are rich in protein, potassium, calcium and iron. Just 3.5 ounces provide 7 grams of protein, 38 grams of carbohydrates and 1.5 grams of fiber (6 percent of the dietary reference intake (DRI)), according to Livestrong: “Fiber helps fill you up, making it easier to lose weight, and may lower your risk for heart disease, … high blood pressure and constipation. Jackfruit seeds also provide resistant starch, which may help improve blood sugar control and keep your gut healthy.”5 The DRIs of several jackfruit components are very impressive, as well: About 7 tablespoons (100 grams) of jackfruit contains 23 percent of the DRI in vitamin C, which not only helps fight infection, colds and flu, but also fights the free radicals that can gang up and weaken your immune system. While there’s not a huge amount of vitamin A, which contains flavonoids such as carotene-ß, xanthin, lutein, and cryptoxanthin-ß, there’s enough to positively influence your antioxidant levels and improve both your skin and your vision, and offer protection from lung and mouth cancers. A Good Source of Folic Acid, Calcium and Other Notable Nutrients Significantly, jackfruit peel has been cited in studies for its ability to remove the heavy metal cadmium,6 a known human carcinogen that appears to act in two ways: It harms DNA directly and disturbs a DNA repair system that helps to prevent cancer. Another reason the vitamin A content in jackfruit is important is that in 2010, one study revealed a serious vitamin A deficiency in Panamanian and Central American populations,7 which this crop could conceivably help alleviate all by itself. Further, the same amount nets 25 percent of the pyridoxine, or vitamin B6, you’d need in a single day, which one study showed helps to slow the rate of brain atrophy and cognitive impairment common in Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.8 Additionally, jackfruits also have high amounts of niacin, riboflavin, folic acid, calcium, iron, manganese and magnesium and potassium, with the latter important for optimum function of cell and body fluids to help control your heart rate and blood pressure. The Amazing Jackfruit: Exotic, Versatile but Under-Appreciated According to Business Insider, jackfruit is a nutritional boon to people in Vietnam, Malaysia and Bangladesh, where it’s the national fruit and second only to the mango in importance. Jackfruit is so important in Bangladesh that if there’s room, everyone grows them, not only to feed people, but for other uses: To feed goats and other farm animals The orange bark has been used to dye the traditional robes worn by monks The trees produce a latex-like substance that can substitute for glue Wood from the gigantic trees is also used for lumber Since one jackfruit tree produces goods for five different uses, growing them could make the country wealthy and, in fact, provide more than half the average monthly salary for just one worker, which Business Insider reported in 2015 to be around $295, compared to the average income of $3,236 per month in the U.S. However, as NPR’s The Salt reports: “Yet the jackfruit is ‘an underutilized crop’ in the tropical-to-subtropical climate where it thrives, says Nyree Zerega, [Ph.D.], director of the graduate program in plant biology and conservation at Northwestern University and the Chicago Botanic Garden. In countries like India and Bangladesh, where the jackfruit was once widely cultivated, it has fallen out of favor.”9 As a food, unfortunately, a lot of the jackfruit grown in India goes to waste, often due to spoilage, but also for another reason: People in India have a tendency to avoid eating jackfruit, thinking it’s a food only for “poor” people. Business Insider notes: “As popular as jackfruit is in Bangladesh, it is avoided in India … where it could bring copious amounts of food to millions of people and malnourished. … Reportedly, up to 75 percent of jackfruit grown in India goes to waste, partly because the fruit goes bad if it's not eaten or preserved within a few weeks.”10 How Jackfruit Could Positively Affect World Hunger In a country where hunger is sometimes as rampant as anywhere in the world, this is disturbing, especially to 27-year-old Shree Padre, a newspaper editor in Karala. He and others have stepped up to call attention to the many attributes of jackfruit, organizing festivals and advocating for more awareness of what the fruit could do to allay hunger. According to Padre: “Countries like Vietnam, Philippines and Malaysia are minting money from jackfruit. Sri Lanka proudly calls it the ‘tree of rice.’ But ironically, in the motherland of jackfruit, we still haven’t understood jackfruit's importance.”11 A few years ago, the University of Agricultural Sciences in Bangalore, India, held a symposium to beef up awareness of the problem, as well as to focus on how to market jackfruit, as well as breadfruit. In comparison to rice and corn, which both have high calorie and high carb content, and lwheat, all of which require lots of irrigation, jackfruit, being perennial, doesn’t require constant replanting. While it does take five to seven years to begin seeing a steady crop of jackfruits, knowing it’s coming is better by far than letting the same amount of time run without a plan for feeding people.

Ahalogy Announces its Software to Monitor Category Trends - Muse™

Ahalogy, a company that helps brands in establishing a connection between customer passion and purchase, has introduced a new software platform to aid marketers in the identification of the altering trends in their products, and subsequently act upon them. The software, Ahalogy Muse, in its beta phase, was already adopted by many businesses to improve email ROI and social media, acquaint internal R&D projects and plan promotions of shopper marketing well in advance. The formal release syncs with the 50% revenue growth witnessed by Ahalogy which has now made it profitable.

Ahalogy Muse is a result of many of years of work carried out by the company to help marketers in optimizing their campaigns on social media through an effective use of data. Bob Gilbreath, CEO and Co-Founder, Ahalogy, explained in a release, “We continued to see that the top driver of performance was creating content that matches the timing and volume of what topics people are interested in. For example, Halloween starts trending in August, breakfast is the most engaging topic on weekends, and some of the hottest new foods are jackfruit (a meat substitute) and sweet potato toast.”

Ahalogy found that while ‘social listening’ software is widely used by a majority of marketers to oversee what perception people have about their brands, it is often the trends of a bigger picture that are overlooked by such software as they tap into media with limited usage. Ahalogy provides a category-focused solution in which Pinterest and Facebook are brought together. It collaborates with DataSift to gain access to the entire feed on topic data of Facebook. Owing to that, Muse is able to identify alterations in trends on a daily or weekly basis and monitor what are the elements of geography and demography that are driving these alterations. Being a Pinterest Marketing Partner, Ahalogy has access to a sea of Pinterest-based data from a number of accounts. This data comes from the powerful Content Network of Ahalogy which houses over 300 million Pins and above 5,000 influencers.

Gilbreath added, “To create great content you need more than word clouds and hashtags, so we inspire our users with examples and imagery that bring the data to life.”
