VEGAN CHEESE [ no nuts, gluten, soy, & nutritional yeast]

This is one of the cheapest, simplest and healthiest vegan cheddar cheeses. This vegan cheese doesn't even require salt, garlic or onion powder, the flavor is just superb as it. The flavors provided by the pickled lupins make it very unnecessary to add other ingredients... And yes it stretches and melts like the real thing.
I hope you enjoy it.

@@masiraadmiraal777 ok I made it. Not using oil did not make a difference, in my opinion. It does not taste anything similar to cheese though. So if you’re looking for a cheese taste this is not it.

[@olenfersoi8887]

If you use a mixture (2 to 3 ratio) of locust bean gum & carrageenan, you get a stretchier product. And, adding some salt substitute (containing potassium chloride) if helps the gelling of the carrageenan. Some xanthan gum will give an even firmer product, which will still melt when heated.

Good idea! However, many people are allergic to coconuts and many people cannot have oils. So, even though you didn’t add nuts, gluten, soy and nutritional yeast. It leaves some people out the loop because you added an oil based ingredient. But I say to anyone. Create your own cheese that works for you! Your body is different from everybody else!

I'm trying not to annoy or hurt, I don't want that at all, and I don't come here to comment to spoil your work with vegan products, because I love your channel and I see that what you do is the good work and the good way to open people, to see in veganism, the future that I certainly believe it is. However, I want to tell you that the fact that you use carrageenan is surely due to lack of information and that's why you use it. Carrageenan is banned in France in food products for children in infancy, in some countries, its use is banned, and in short, it is proven that the fibres that make up carrageenan are so small that they pass without being filtered by the membrane of the intestine as it does with other fibres larger in size. It causes micro-tumours in the colon, and is harmful to health. In short, it is a "food product" to be avoided as far as possible. I know that the fact that it can stretch while hot (in the style of animal milk cheese) is a powerful reason to use it, but there is an alternative called waxy maize starch. It's not easy to find, but it's totally safe. I suppose using that waxy corn starch, along with Agar Agar seaweed, could go a long way towards supplying that quest for the perfect texture both hot and cold. I'm sorry that with this information, you might feel annoyed, but believe me, that's not my intention. I support your channel and I like your videos. So whoever wants to keep using carrageenan, then keep using it, but be aware that it is dangerous in the long run. Greetings from Spain, and lots of encouragement with your fantastic videos. 🙂 Estoy intentando no molestar ni herir, en absoluto quiero eso, y tampoco vengo aquí a comentar para estropear tu trabajo con los productos veganos, porque tu canal me encanta y veo que lo que haces es el buen hacer y el buen camino para abrir a la gente, a que vea en el veganimo, el futuro que ciertamente creo que es. No obstante, quiero comentarte que el que uses carragenano, es seguro por falta de información y por ese motivo lo usas. El carragenano, está prohibido en Francia en productos de alimentación para niños en la infancia, en algunos países, está prohibido su uso, y en definitiva, está probado que las fibras que componen el carragenano, son tan pequeñas que pasan sin poder ser filtradas por la membrana del intestino como sí hace con otras fibras más grandes en tamaño. Provoca microtumores en el colon, y es perjudicial para la salud. Es en definitiva, un "producto alimentario", a evitar en lo posible. Ya sé que el que pueda estirarse mientras está caliente (al estilo del queso de leche animal) es una razón poderosa para que usarlo, pero hay una alternativa que se llama almidón de maíz ceroso. No es fácil encontrarlo, pero es totalmente seguro. Supongo que usar ese almidón de maiz ceroso, junto al alga Agar Agar, podría suplir en gran parte esa búsqueda de la textura perfecta tanto en frío como en caliente. Siento que con esta información, puedas sentirte molesto, pero creeme, no es esa mi intención. Apoyo tu canal y me gustan tus vídeos. Así que quien quiera seguir usando carragenano, pues que lo siga usando, pero debe saberse que es peligroso a largo plazo. Saludos desde España, y muchos ánimos con tus fantásticos vídeos. 🙂

[@ChefTJ]

The fact that you took that long typing, contributing to channel and to the world at large I appreciate it profoundly. I don't take offense at all, my knowledge was that it is harmful when you consume it in large quantities or frequently. You have no idea how much I appreciate your contribution. Your explanation is in nutshell manner, big up. Thanks a lot!

[@NeverWoken]

In 2016 the “watchdog” group Cornicopia Institute falsely claimed that the food industry was part of a large scale cover up to block consumers from information regarding carrageenan safety. From here this mis-information made it into the hands of uneducated and inflammatory food bloggers, such as Food Babe, and the rest is history. Unlike many countries around the world, the United States does not have laws against companies and private entities making false claims around health, nutrition and safety. This leads to massive amounts of consumer mis-information which causes fear and confusion

[@NeverWoken]

I'm sorry Chef TJ, you dont need your excellent recipes tainted by discourse like this, but this type of non scientific information scares people, most will not follow up on research to understand the facts, just like with COVID vaccinations, a lot of misinformation starts on social media, usually in America.
