Vegan sour cream is a dairy-free alternative to traditional sour cream, made primarily from plant-based ingredients. Common bases include cashews, tofu, or coconut cream, which are blended with ingredients like lemon juice, vinegar, and seasonings to achieve a tangy flavor and creamy texture. This product is popular among those following a vegan diet or those with lactose intolerance. It can be used in various dishes, such as dips, dressings, and baked goods, providing a similar taste and consistency to conventional sour cream without the use of animal products.
