Types of vegan butters (Vrste veganskih putera)

Vegan nut and seed butters are nutritious spreads made by grinding almonds, peanuts, hazelnuts, cashews, sesame or other seeds into a smooth, creamy mass. They naturally do not contain ingredients of animal origin, so they are suitable for vegan and plant-based nutrition.

In addition to providing a rich flavor and creamy texture, vegan butters are a good source of healthy unsaturated fats, plant-based protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals. They can help make a meal more filling and are handy for quick snacks.

The most common vegan nut and seed butters are:

1. Peanut butter

2. Almond butter

3. Hazelnut butter

4. Cashew butter

5. Pistachio butter

6. Walnut butter

7. Tahini (sesame seeds butter)

8. Sunflower seeds butter

9. Pumpkin seeds butter

10. Hemp butter

Each has its own distinctive taste and nutritional profile.

Vegan butters can be used as a spread on bread and toast, an addition to oat porridge, smoothies and plant-based yogurts - vegan yogurts, as well as in the preparation of cakes, energy balls, sauces and salad dressings.

When shopping, it is best to choose products with as short a list of ingredients as possible, ideally only from nuts or seeds, without added sugar and unnecessary additives.

All these spreads are vegan if they do not contain additives such as honey, milk powder or other ingredients of animal origin. They are great for toast, porridge, smoothies, fruit and homemade energy balls.

Veganski puteri od orašastih plodova i semenki predstavljaju hranljive namaze koji se dobijaju mlevenjem badema, kikirikija, lešnika, indijskih oraha, susama ili drugih semenki u glatku, kremastu masu. Prirodno ne sadrže sastojke životinjskog porekla, pa su pogodni za vegansku i biljnu ishranu.

Osim što daju bogat ukus i kremastu teksturu, veganski puteri su dobar izvor zdravih nezasićenih masti, biljnih proteina, vlakana, vitamina i minerala. Mogu pomoći da obrok bude zasitniji i praktični su za brze užine.

Veganski puteri mogu se koristiti kao namaz na hlebu i tostovima, dodatak ovsenoj kasi, smutijima i jogurtima biljnog porekla, kao i u pripremi kolaca, energetskih kuglica, soseva i preliva za salate.

Prilikom kupovine najbolje je birati proizvode sa što kraćom listom sastojaka, idealno samo od orašastih plodova ili semenki, bez dodatog šećera i nepotrebnih aditiva.

Svi ovi namazi su veganski ako ne sadrže dodatke poput meda, mleka u prahu ili drugih sastojaka životinjskog porekla. Odlični su za tost, kaše, smutije, voće i domaće energetske kuglice.
