Coconut Oil: Also known as copra oil. It’s an edible oil extracted from the kernels or the meat of mature coconuts. Coconut oil has numerous health benefits, it can last up to 6 months at temperatures of 24 Celsius without spoiling. It solidifies in cooler climates. Maple Syrup: Is a syrup usually made from the sap of maple trees. In cold climates maple trees store starch in their trunks and roots before winter, the starch is then converted to sap in late winter – early spring. The maple trees are tapped to collect the sap. The sap is processed by heating to evaporate the water content, leaving a concentrated syrup. It’s the standard vegan replacement for honey. Miso: Is a traditional Japanese seasoning made by fermenting soybeans with salt and koji. The result is a thick paste, which is great in soups, stews, and adding flavor to vegan cheeses.
