So, what is extraits de plantes?
"Extraits de plantes" is a French term that translates to "plant extracts" in English. It refers to a group of natural ingredients that are extracted from various parts of plants such as leaves, stems, roots, flowers, and fruits. These extracts are often used in the food industry as a flavoring agent, natural coloring, or preservative. The process of extracting the beneficial compounds from plants involves various methods such as steam distillation, solvent extraction, and cold pressing. Plant extracts offer a wide range of health benefits due to their natural composition of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They also provide a unique and delicious taste to food products while maintaining their natural essence.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
