½ Cups Vegan Cheddar Cheese, Shredded

Shredded vegan cheddar cheese is a plant-based cheese alternative typically made from oils, starches, and seasonings rather than dairy milk. It is used similarly to shredded cheddar for melting or topping foods.

Beneficial properties

dairy-free alternative lactose-free convenient protein substitute in some products often fortified with vitamin B12 or calcium suitable for vegan diets

Nutritional highlights

Nutritional content varies widely by brand, but vegan cheddar shreds are often made primarily from fats and starches and may provide fortified calcium, vitamin B12, and sometimes modest protein.

Caution. Many vegan cheese products are highly processed and can be high in sodium or saturated fat from coconut oil; check labels, especially for hypertension or heart-healthy diets.
