Bulk Size Japanese Vegan Parmesan, 2.2lb
Japanese Vegan Parmesan is a dairy-free and plant-based crumble, with which can easily substitute for grated Parmesan cheese. Made with cashew nuts, sake kasu (sake lees), nutritional yeast, and salt, these crumbles exhibit substantial umami similar to cheese. Sake kasu is a by-product of sake—the left over of pressed lees of sake—and contains rich umami, which is obtained through rice fermentation process. Sake kasu is also quite nutritious. This vegan Parmesan has a crunchy texture, but it does not melt like real cheese, so you cannot expect it to turn into a creamy texture when heated. Sprinkle the crumbles on pizza, pasta, soup, gratin, risotto, French fries, popcorn or salad to enjoy a rich umami boost. No sugar substitute or preservatives are used.
Sprinkle it on pasta, pizza, soup, gratin, risotto, and salad, just like you use grated Parmesan cheese. It is also great as sprinkles for French fries and popcorns. Because it has a crunchy texture, you can use it as a croutons substitute, too. It does not melt like real cheese, so you cannot expect it to turn into a creamy texture when heated. You should be aware of this when using it for baking—you can get crunchy but not gooey cheese effect. On the other hand, it turns out amazing if you mix it into breadcrumbs for croquettes or cutlets.
