    What Is Vegan Caviar?

    Caviar is traditionally made from the harvested roe (eggs) of fish, that are then pickled. However, vegan caviar is typically made from seaweed pearls and contains no animal products.

    Ingredients

    • Seaweed extract 83% (or Kelp depending on the brand)
    • Water
    • Salt
    • Extractives of spices
    • Citric acid
    • Xanthan gum - stabilizer
    • Potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate - preservatives
    • Caramel color - food color

    Price

    We paid $6.00 for a 1.75 oz (50g) size jar. A bargain compared to caviar from fish roe.

    Purchasing this vegan caviar is a convenient option, but if your feeling adventurous, the Edgy Veg has a great video on making your own.

    Where To Purchase

    Online at amazon.com or in person at Cost Plus World Market.

    How To Eat Black Seaweed caviar?

    Pairs great with vegan deviled eggs, crepes, blinis, vegan sushi or potato chips/crisp.

    For more variations Chef Majk has a great twist with homemade caviar made from coffee or green apples for a fun dessert topper.

    Storing

    Refrigerate after opening. Consume within 3 days after opening.

    Review

    Taste - If you are expecting exactly the same as fish roe, you might find this product less salty and with less of that distinctive fresh ocean flavor. It does however have a great fresh umani taste.

    Texture - the texture is very close to caviar. Same crunch and mouth feel as the real thing.

    Recommendation

    We would definitely recommend for vegan and even non-vegans. This is an excellent cruelty-free caviar substitute. The taste is a good, balanced salty flavor with a subtle briny taste. It’s not fishy and has as a great firm texture.
