Is Ben's Original Golden Vegetable Vegan?

Mildly savory, lightly herbed flavor with warm, subtle sweetness and a fluffy, separate-grain texture that is moist without being sticky. Commonly microwaved or heated as a quick side, paired with proteins, stirred into casseroles, or used in bowls. Reviews note convenience and consistent texture; some mention uneven seasoning and packaging.

What is a Vegan diet?
A vegan diet excludes all animal-derived foods, including meat, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs, and honey. It focuses on plant-based sources such as fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Many people choose veganism for ethical, environmental, or health reasons. When well-planned, it provides sufficient protein, fiber, and antioxidants, though supplementation or fortified foods may be needed for nutrients like vitamin B12, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids. Vegan diets are associated with lower risks of heart disease and improved digestion but require mindfulness to ensure balanced and complete nutrition.
