Casein and the Vegan Diet

Casein is the main protein component in milk, accounting for about 80% of the proteins in cow's milk. It is also present in other dairy products such as cheese and yogurt. Casein is known for its slow digestion rate and its ability to form a gel or clot in the stomach, which can be beneficial for nutrient absorption. It is commonly used in food processing for its binding and emulsifying properties.
