Non-dairy cheese is a plant-based alternative to traditional cheese, designed for those who are lactose intolerant, vegan, or seeking a dairy-free lifestyle. Common ingredients include nuts (like cashews or almonds), soy, coconut oil, or starches such as tapioca and potato. Some varieties are fermented with natural cultures for a tangy, cheese-like flavor. Non-dairy cheese is versatile, appearing in a wide range of cuisines, from Italian pasta dishes to American-style grilled cheese sandwiches. Nutritionally, the composition varies based on the ingredients. Nut-based cheeses are often rich in healthy fats, protein, and essential vitamins like B12 if fortified, whereas starch-based versions may be lower in nutrients but contain fewer calories. Many options are free from cholesterol and saturated animal fats, making them a heart-friendly choice. However, some products can be highly processed or high in sodium, so it's important to check labels when selecting the healthiest option.
