Are Prawn Crackers Vegan?

Yes, they are! Prawn crackers are usually made with rice flour, which is gluten-free and vegan.

The primary ingredients are flour, milk, eggs, butter, sugar, garlic, onion, and spices. Most people think that prawn crackers contain animal meat.

But, they do not because they use vegetable oil instead of butter. It also uses egg whites, which don’t come from chickens. Thus, prawn crackers are 100% vegetarian.

Prawn crackers are a crunchy snack made from fresh prawns with other ingredients and then deep-fried until golden brown. The taste is like chicken fingers.
