What Is It? Wednesday: Vegetarian Egg Replacer vs. Gluten Free Egg Replacer
By: Sarena Shasteen | May 17 2017We are very excited to bring you What Is It? Wednesdays! every other Wednesday, where we’ll explore a different ingredient or product in depth. We’ll be covering the benefits, uses, and common misconceptions about each. If you have any requests, leave them in the comments and we’ll work them into the schedule.
Today we are discussing the differences in our egg replacers. We have carried a vegetarian version for awhile now, but we’ve recently added a new gluten free egg replacer to our product line. Let’s talk about the differences!
What’s in the Vegetarian Egg Replacer? Our Vegetarian Egg Replacer is a combination of whole soy flour, wheat gluten, corn syrup solids, and algin (from algae).
How do you use it? This fine powder is the perfect substitute for whole eggs in your recipes for cookies, pancakes, waffles, cakes, brownies, and muffins. All you have to do is mix 1 tablespoon egg replacer with 3 tablespoons water, stir, allow to sit briefly, and you're ready to go!
Is the Vegetarian Egg Replacer gluten free? No, this product is not gluten free.
What’s in the Gluten Free Vegan Egg Replacer? Our Gluten Free Egg Replacer is a combination of potato starch, tapioca flour, baking soda, and psyllium husk fiber.
How do you use it? As with our Vegetarian Egg Replacer, the Gluten Free Egg Replacer is perfect for all your baking needs, including cookies, cakes, muffins, quick breads, brownies, pancakes, and more! Simply mix 1 tablespoon egg replacer with 2 tablespoons water, stir, allow to sit for awhile, and it's ready to use in your favorite recipes!
Is the Gluten Free Egg Replacer Vegetarian? Yes! It is vegetarian. Not only is it gluten free and vegan, but it’s also free of soy, corn, grains, or beans! Perfect to suit your allergen needs.
Both the Vegetarian and Gluten Free Egg Replacers are interchangeable in recipes calling for whole eggs. While these are both incredible products to use in place of eggs in your baking, neither one of them is good for making scrambled eggs or meringues. We are proud to offer our customers a variety of products to suit their dietary needs. We hope this allows you all to enjoy your favorite baked goods!
