Caviart

This is one of those impractical yet intriguing products that beckon you over and insist on being tried. Given my past experiences with fish roe, I was expecting something like tiny, savory popping boba. These were more chewy; they didn’t quite have that bursting quality, nor were they as salty as expected. However, the appearance was spot-on, and the #seaweed gave these pearls a gentle brininess, which I liked. What they lack in substance (almost no nutritional value,) they make up for in novelty. #leavethefishinthesea #veganegg(?)

From what I remember of my extremely infrequent encounters with #caviar, these aren’t exactly an accurate imitation. That being said, they’re not bad; in addition to all the goodness that comes with being vegan, Cavi•art is also a much more economical choice. It could be a fun accent for entertaining (pictured: as the first course of my pretending-to-be-fancy supper!) I would also love to sample their version of masago someday. I don’t remember the price but I’m fairly certain it was no more than $4 (#groceryoutletfinds!)

kyu It’s a very innovative ingredient for sure! I found an Okonomi Kitchen recipe for vegan mentaiko pasta, so I think I’ll give that a try with the remainder of the jar :-)3 likesReply

tamiapple Perhaps there’s more than one vegan caviar review, though I immediately thought of the inimitable @theveganfeast Below is a link & excerpt of the review (I don’t know how to link to AB reviews, unfortunately.):

The process, called spherification, is very easy, quick, and inexpensive. But most importantly, making these vegan caviar pearls is a blast, and a perfect activity to do if you have children!
All you need is some agar agar powder, a liquid of choice
