Canadian consumers looking to reduce their consumption of dairy can now rejoice thanks to Miyoko's Creamery -- an oil-based butter alternative -- expansion into over 1,000 Canadian grocery stores nationwide. The vegan butter is made with cultured cashew milk, organic coconut oil, and is free from palm oil, lactose, soy, and gluten. It's a great substitute to use while baking or cooking.
The vegan brand also produces artisan cheese in over 10 flavors and announced its plans to create a nut-free cheese that's made using seeds, potatoes, and beans. As more consumers in North America choose to purchase plant-based food alternatives, Miyoko's hopes to meet demand by increasing the distribution of its products in Canada over the next year.
