POPULAR VEGAN RECIPES FOR DINNERS, DESSERTS, APPETIZERS AND MORE TO FRESHEN UP AND ENHANCE ANY VEGAN DIET
More and more people are turning to vegan recipes and vegan foods as part of a Vegan Diet. But why is this, what are the health benefits, and of course – what are the on-trend, most popular recipes at the moment? Let’s take a look…
What is a vegan diet?
A vegan diet is one that consists only of plant-based foods. This means that vegans do not consume any foods that are or contain ingredients from an animal source, including meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, and honey.
The term vegan was coined in 1944 by Donald Watson when he co-founded the Vegan Society in England, at first to mean “non-dairy vegetarian” and later “the doctrine that man should live without exploiting animals.”
Interest in veganism increased in the 2010s; vegan options became increasingly available in more supermarkets and restaurants in many countries.
The term ‘vegan’ from the start and end of the word vegetarian.
Why do people choose a vegan diet?
Veganism is more than just a diet — it is a lifestyle choice. The vegan philosophy goes beyond what you eat to include what you wear and what products you use on your body.
For example, vegans wear clothing made without animal products such as fur, leather, wool, and silk. They also avoid using personal care products tested on animals or made with animal products such as animal fat or honey.
However, today there are many reasons why people choose to be vegan.
Some people adopt this way of eating to be more eco-friendly or for health reasons. Others believe it’s unethical to eat animals and avoid meat, poultry, seafood and animal byproducts for this reason. Whilst others choose a vegan diet for health benefits.
What are the health potential benefits of a vegan diet?
Vegans tend to be slimmer than nonvegans because they consume fewer calories. A plant-based diet has many health benefits, including a lower risk of obesity and chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes.
However, it is important to note that eliminating entire food groups may result in nutrient deficiencies. Therefore, people should speak with their doctor before making any dietary changes.
Environmental concerns
Some vegans believe that eating meat contributes to climate change because of the number of resources needed to support meat production.
This includes the feed needed for animals; water for growing the feed; land for raising the animals; and energy for transporting the food to markets.
For these reasons, some people choose vegan diets to reduce their impact on the environment.
What do people eat on a vegan diet?
A vegan diet may seem limiting at first, but it’s actually a delicious and diverse way to eat. Here are our favorite vegan recipes and cooking tips so you can enjoy the best the plant-based world has to offer.
A vegan diet contains only plants (such as vegetables, grains, nuts, and fruits) and foods made from plants. Vegans do not eat foods that come from animals, including dairy products and eggs.
Some vegans also avoid the use of all products tested on animals, as well as animal-derived non-food products, such as leather, fur, and wool.
