Vegans don't need to worry about the protein content of vegan cheese. Protein is widely available in vegan food and you don't need to eat a pile of beans to get it.
- ben_w 3y agoSome people won't accept Pepsi if they ask for a cola. I'm only going to accept vegan cheese as a full substitute for real cheese when it ticks enough boxes, and one of those boxes is the nutritional values (the others include flavour and how it behaves when cooked, including melting vs. browning). That's why I specifically noted that I'm interested by the prospect of melty tofu, as tofu is the closest substitute I have right now on the nutritional value.
- brnt 3y agoWhat vegans foods are they widely available? And at what price levels?
- ben_w 3y agoTofu. Lentils. Peanuts and peas. Legumes in general, although all would be a "pile of beans" by definition. All are fairly cheap. Maize, rice, potatoes, and wheat have more than you might expect given they're more famous as carbs. Wheat can be processed to extract the gluten, which is a protein, which you may also know by the name "seitan".
