So, what is gordura vegetal?
"Gordura vegetal" is a plant-based fat commonly used in cooking and baking. It is a versatile ingredient that can be used as a substitute for animal-based fats such as butter or lard. The texture and flavor of gordura vegetal can vary depending on the source, with some types being more neutral in taste, while others have a slightly nutty or coconut flavor. It is often used in the production of baked goods, such as cookies and cakes, as well as in the preparation of savory dishes, such as fried foods and sauces. With its ability to enhance flavor and texture, gordura vegetal is an essential ingredient in many vegan and vegetarian recipes.
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.
