Faba Butter | Dairy Free Butter Made From Aquafaba

On Foodable

To round out our food innovation tour at the National Restaurant Association Show, we visited another plant-based company Faba Butter on the showroom floor to chat with both the co-founders Aidan Altman and Andrew McClure to learn why they felt the need to introduce this butter replacement.

"Andrew and I are from the midwest and we grow up eating butter and as we got older and we got into the food system, we realized that a lot of dairy product and meat product come from these industrial farms that are unsustainable and put an environmental strain on the planet. However, in the butter space specifically, the only alternative we could get in the grocery store were the margarines of the world. Products that have been around for decades that we didn't want to put in our bodies," says Altman. "So we saw a huge opportunity to make a plant-based butter that actually works with the functional integrity of a dairy butter that was also clean and sustainable."

The butter is gluten-free and non-GMO, as well. Watch the video above to learn more about the dairy butter alternative.
