Sponge and the Vegetarian Diet
Sponge is a porous material that can be made from either natural animal sources, such as the skeletons of sea sponges, or from synthetic materials designed to mimic the texture and absorbency of natural sponges. In the context of food, sponge may refer to the texture of certain baked goods or be used in the culinary arts to describe a soft, airy structure.
