Plant-Based Creams
Plant-based creams are dairy alternatives made from various plant sources, such as nuts, seeds, or grains. Common ingredients include coconut, almonds, and soy, which are blended with water and sometimes thickened to achieve a creamy texture. These creams can be used in cooking, baking, or as toppings, providing a similar consistency to traditional dairy creams.
These alternatives are popular among those following vegan diets or individuals with lactose intolerance. Plant-based creams often contain fewer calories and saturated fats compared to their dairy counterparts, making them a healthier option for many. They can also be fortified with vitamins and minerals to enhance their nutritional value.
