Is Worcestershire sauce vegan?
It might not be expected, but regular Worcestershire sauce is not vegan. The condiment contains traces of anchovies.
Thankfully, you can find vegan Worcestershire sauce online and in whole food shops.
If you can’t find any vegan Worcestershire sauce, there are plenty of alternatives that can be made at home with a few simple ingredients.
Soy sauce makes a great base for your sauce, adding ingredients like ketchup, apple cider vinegar, or apple juice can give the sauce depth of flavour and tang.
What is liquid smoke?
Liquid smoke is made from burning wood like chicory, the smoke and steam are condensed and turned into a concentrated smoky liquid.
After being filtered and distilled, you are left with the liquid smoke.
Many people question if liquid smoke is safe, but it is perfectly safe. In fact, it is safer to use liquid smoke than to cook with actual smoke as the carcinogenic pathogens have already been distilled.
