Abstract
Contained herein are compositions of plant-based fermented products. Compositions of plant-based fermentation products may comprise at least about 5% whole oilseed material by dry weight, greater than 5% protein by caloric value, and one or more microorganisms. Alternatively, or in addition to, the composition may comprise at least about 5% oilseed material by dry weight and one or more microorganisms capable of degrading pigmented molecular compounds. The composition may be of a white or off-white color. Plant-based fermented products may be used in plant-based yogurts, cheeses, fermented products, or any combination thereof.
