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.
Reviews
Must contain gluten
Loved the taste of this but it made my joints inflamed after eating it. Buyer beware - doesn't say gluten free on the bag and even though I glanced at the ingredients to make sure, there is something in the natural flavors or smoke flavor components that triggered my symptoms. Heads up!
