So, what is matiere grasse végetale?
Matière grasse végétale, also known as vegetable fat, is a plant-based ingredient that can be used in various recipes. It is commonly made from sources such as coconut, palm, shea, or cocoa butter. This type of fat has a smooth texture and rich flavor, making it an ideal replacement for animal fats in vegan and vegetarian cooking. Matière grasse végétale is often used in baked goods, confectionery products, and as a substitute for butter or margarine in spreads. It is a versatile ingredient that can add richness and depth to any dish while being a healthier alternative to animal-based fats.
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.
