Butter Made from Thin Air and Eggs Made from Plants
There's a green company in town that is creating something out of nothing. That something is delightfully rich butter. This butter is vegan and made from thin air. Yes--you heard that right. The butter is made from air; utilizing real fat and without any impact to the environment. Savor is the company behind this new and revolutionary fat making process. To make the butter or fat, a carbon source is heated with hydrogen and is later mixed with oxygen from the air.
Photo by SavorSavor was founded by Kathleen Alexander in San Jose, California. Their mission is to commercially produce agriculture free, healthy fats in a way that doesn't negatively affect the environment. The fats are produced without dangerous chemicals and toxins. Butter is the first type of food that Savor has created but company has plans to expand and begin producing these fats for other foods such as ice cream, milk, cheese and meat. These foods will all be made without any animal suffering or agricultural farmland. The fats used to make the foods will be produced using carbon dioxide and water.
Savor's butter is not able to be purchased by the public at this time as they are still in the beginning phases of commercialization. This company is one of several who are focused on producing ordinary and popular dairy foods using alternative methods or ingredients. Ever heard of JUST egg or WunderEggs? Just Egg has managed to create a vegan egg substitute in liquid and solid forms. JUST egg is a popular choice in plant-based circles and can be purchased at a variety of specialty markets and grocery stores. Just egg's core ingredient is mung bean protein. It's a suitable substitute for scrambled eggs, omelettes, frittatas and french toast.
The Just egg patty is perfect for breakfast sandwiches or when there is a desire to have a pre-made vegan egg. I've used JUST egg on numerous occasions. Though it doesn't taste exactly like a regular egg, it is incredibly close. Want that vegan breakfast of champions? Well, you definitely need to try JUST egg!
WunderEggs has produced a vegan hardboiled egg. Though it looks just like a boiled egg, it contains no egg ingredients. This egg does contain nuts so for those who are allergic--don't even think about it.
Looking at a Wunderegg, you'd think it really is the real deal. Many have attested to the fact that it even tastes like the real thing!
Both of these egg substitutes are extremely healthy. The nutritional value and caloric content is comparable to actual eggs. There is about as much protein, calcium and potassium in these vegan egg substitutes as there is in an egg. The most important aspect of consuming these egg substitutes is that there is no cholesterol! If one is watching cholesterol, switching to an egg substitute might be the answer.
Dairy substitutes have come a long way. Two decades ago, the dairy free options being produced by companies such as Savor, Just and WunderEgg were unheard of. Being green includes eating green. Plant based or vegan and vegetarian lifestyles are important aspects of a green lifestyle.
As technology and scientific knowledge becomes more advanced, society will be able to have access to more foods that are respective of our environment. More animals will be safe from harm and will be able to enjoy the lives that they have without interference from unconscientious humans.
