Are there any vegetarian sausage casings edible? Boca Tortuga, Lightlife, Yves, El Burrito and others make great vegetarian sausages and hot dogs. Most of these appear to be coated with something, and are edible.
I researched many on the internet and only came to this: cellulose casings edible casings vegicase starch, and a coating alginous ala.
But what I can not find where I can get some of these envelopes? I make vegetarian sausage at home and use plastic boxes. You can not eat them, and you certainly can not grill them.
For small amounts I usually use baking sheets with parchment paper. For large batches I use the company below
Can you believe it? It is in fact an association responsible for sausage casings!
The first address is for the association, the second is a supplier who sells to the public.
