What is a Vegetarian diet?

A vegetarian diet eliminates meat, poultry, and fish but typically includes dairy, eggs, and plant-based foods. People adopt it for ethical, environmental, or health reasons. This diet emphasizes fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains, nuts, and seeds as key nutrient sources. Vegetarians often get protein from eggs, tofu, beans, and lentils. It can offer health benefits such as reduced risk of heart disease and improved weight management, though attention should be given to nutrients like iron, zinc, and vitamin B12. With proper planning, a vegetarian diet can be both nutritionally complete and sustainable.

My go-to protein!

I’m so happy this product exists. Great texture, taste, convenience, and value. The expiration dates are usually a month or so out, which is way more convenient than keeping meat in the house. It sits well with me, too! I usually sauté it with a little bit of garlic or shallot infused oil. I like it in pasta dishes, quesadillas, and salads.
