So, what is növényi zsír?
Növényi zsír, also known as vegetable fat, is a type of fat that is derived from plant sources such as soybeans, palm, sunflower, or rapeseed. It is often used in food processing as a substitute for animal-based fats, and can be found in a variety of products such as margarine, baked goods, and snacks. Növényi zsír is considered a healthier alternative to animal fats due to its lower saturated fat content. It is also a popular ingredient for vegans and vegetarians as it is entirely plant-based. Despite its benefits, some studies suggest that the extensive use of növényi zsír may lead to negative health effects, so it's recommended to consume it in moderation.
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.
