So, what is pflanzenkohle?
Pflanzenkohle, also known as biochar, is a highly porous and stable form of charcoal made from plant material that has been heated in the absence of oxygen through a process called pyrolysis. It is an environmentally friendly and sustainable ingredient that can be used in a variety of ways, including as a soil amendment to improve plant growth and health, a water filtration media to remove impurities, and even as a dietary supplement for animals to improve digestion and nutrient absorption. Pflanzenkohle is also believed to help sequester carbon in the soil, making it a valuable tool in the fight against climate change.
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.
