Vegan butter is a plant-based alternative to traditional dairy butter, crafted to mimic its creamy texture and rich flavor. Typically made from a blend of plant-derived oils such as coconut oil, shea butter, olive oil, or sunflower oil, vegan butter often incorporates other ingredients like soy lecithin, sunflower lecithin, or pea protein to enhance emulsification and stability. Its appearance ranges from pale yellow to a deeper golden hue, closely resembling dairy butter. The flavor profiles can vary depending on the specific ingredients used, but many brands strive for a subtly buttery and slightly nutty taste. Vegan butter melts and spreads similarly to dairy butter, making it a versatile ingredient for both cooking and baking. This dairy-free butter substitute is an excellent option for individuals following a vegan diet, those with lactose intolerance, or anyone seeking a plant-based alternative.

Vegan butter should be stored in the refrigerator to maintain its solid form and prevent spoilage. Keep it in its original packaging or an airtight container. It can also be frozen for longer-term storage; wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then foil to prevent freezer burn. When ready to use, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight. Vegan butter can typically last for several months in the freezer.
