Your taste buds are missing out if you don’t bite into something with a nice sour flavor every now and then. Sourdough bread is one delicious way to satisfy your cravings. You can also go with sauerkraut or kimchi. But perhaps the most fulfilling sour food of all is sour cream, which has a luscious creamy texture that plays beautifully against its sourness.
What a shame it would be if only dairy-based sour cream delivered this beautifully rounded hit of sour flavor. Happily, there are a number of delicious vegan brands of sour cream. Vegan sour cream is superior to dairy-based sour cream in that it offers the very same flavor without causing dairy cows to suffer. Plus, most brands contain far less saturated fat since they’re made from plant-based ingredients rather than cream.
Sour cream is commonly used as a topping on baked potatoes and Mexican food, and as the base of salad dressings and dips. Several companies make delicious vegan sour creams that are indistinguishable from the dairy variety. These products are widely available at natural food stores.
