Episode 57 Plant-based Oils


Hey there, and welcome to Healthy Vegan Living! We're thrilled to have you with us. We're like kale at a vegan potluck—always excited to be here!

I'm Samantha, your go-to gal for all things plant-based.

Consider me your personal vegan GPS, guiding you to the best tofu in town! 

Hi, everyone! I'm John, your friendly neighborhood vegan enthusiast.

I'm like the Spider-Man of veganism, except instead of webs, I sling soy lattes and avocado toast. 

And I'm Gary, the guy steering this vegan ship. Think of me as the vegan Captain Jack Sparrow—minus the rum, plus the hummus.

Together, we're your co-hosts, ready to dive into the vibrant world of veganism. We're like the Avengers but with more lentils and fewer explosions. Thanks a ton for tuning in and for your excellent support! Let's get this tofu scramble started!

Several plant-based oils include:

1. Coconut Oil: A favorite vegan butter substitute in baking, high in vitamin E and MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides) [1].

2. Vegetable Oil: A chemically processed oil perfect for high-heat dishes like baking, roasting, and frying [1].

3. Flaxseed Oil: High in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential omega-3 fatty acid, suitable for cold dishes and added to drinks for extra nutritional value [1].

4. Safflower Oil: A rich source of unsaturated fatty acids, with a high smoke point, ideal for frying, stir-fries, and baking [1].

5. Sesame Oil: A good source of vitamins and minerals, with a medium-high smoke point, suitable for stir-fries, vinaigrettes, marinades, and sautéing [1].

6. Canola Oil: Not explicitly mentioned in the context of veganism in the sources, but it is a plant-based oil commonly used in vegan cooking [5]. 

While the sources do not provide specific brand names for these oils, they are widely available in various brands at grocery stores. When selecting oils, vegans should look for brands that do not use animal-derived ingredients or processing aids and that ideally have certifications or labels indicating they are vegan-friendly. It's also important to consider the environmental impact of the oils, such as the sourcing of palm oil, which is often criticized for its role in deforestation and habitat destruction [2][3].

What brand names are used by Vegan for their daily cooking recipes? Here are some brand names that vegans might use for their daily cooking recipes:

1. BOCA: Known for a wide selection of veggie burgers, chicken nuggets, and skillet meals, often made with non-GMO soy [4].

2. Morningstar Farms: Offers plant-based protein choices for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, including options without meat, dairy, or eggs [4].

3. No Evil Foods: Provides simple, plant-based meat alternatives like shredded chicken strips and chorizo, focusing on recognizable ingredients [4].

4. Alpha Foods: Offers a variety of grab-and-go vegan options, including burritos, potpies, tamales, and pizza [4].

5.  Field Roast: Known for producing plant-based meats and dairy-free cheese options from grains, veggies, and spices [4].

6. Amy's Kitchen: Offers a range of vegan and vegetarian meals, including frozen options and convenience foods [4].

7. Tofurky: A well-known brand for vegetarian deli slices, sausages, holiday roasts, and more, using tofu as a primary ingredient[ 4].

8. Upton’s Naturals: Sells jackfruit in various flavors and seitan-based products, providing meat-like textures from plant sources [4].

9. Quorn: Uses mycoprotein to create a variety of veggie-based products like meatless chicken nuggets and grounds [4]. 

These brands are popular among vegans for their convenience and variety, offering plant-based alternatives that make daily cooking easier and more diverse.

Episode 3 Veganism and Dietary Labels

  Welcome to the Healthy Vegan Living Podcast. I'm your host. My name is Gary. Welcome to episode number 3, Veganisms and Dietary Labels.  What is a Vegan? A Vegan does not eat animals or by-products of animals, including by-products such as eggs or milk. And honey. Vegans do not ingest beeswax, rennet, or collagen.  Here are the types.  1: Ethical Vegans. They're Vegans, but they also don't wear leather, wool, silk, feathers, and some cosmetics. They don't visit SeaWorld, where they have animals or zoos.  2: Environmental Vegans. They're Vegans, but they only eat locally grown foods. They would rather walk than ride a car. They are all about the planet.   3: Fruitarians.  They're Vegans, and they eat 70 percent fruit, but they don't ingest grains or nuts. They just don't believe in it.   4: Flexitarians. They're Vegans, but they eat some meats like they'll have a hot dog or hamburger.   5: Junk food Vegans....
