Egg Replacements @ peta.org
(06/20)
- Tofu is great for egg substitutions in recipes that call for a lot of eggs,
such as quiches or custards. To replace one egg in a recipe, puree 1/4 cup of soft
tofu. Although tofu doesn't fluff up like eggs, it does create a texture that's perfect
for "eggy" dishes.
- Firm tofu is a great substitute for eggs in eggless egg salad and breakfast scrambles.
-
Egg Substitutes @ healthline.com
(06/20)
- Silken tofu is a geat substitute for eggs, but may lead to a heavier, denser
product. To replace one egg, use 1/4 cup pureed tofu.
- Silken tofu is relatively flavorless, but it can make baked goods dense and
heavy, so it's best in brownies, cookies, quick breads and cakes.

- Most hot dogs are made of meat, meat fat, filler (flour or bread crumbs),
egg whites, and spices
- Hot dog makers blend all these ingredients together in large food processors
or meat grinders
- They then use the processed mixture to fill sausage casings often made of synthetic
collagen or cellulose
- Before being packaged, hot dogs are pre-cooked, usually by boiling them for
about 15 minutes (for a hot dog containing meat)
