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.
Reviews
Gardein Meat-free beefless ground
I made some chilli following my old standby when I use ground chicken, turkey or beef. At first I thought it was great but about 15 minutes after eating I had an awful flavour in my mouth which caused nauseousness. Then my stomach turned and I had to run to the bathroom because of diarrhea. When I came back out, I sat down and read the label again. I was horrified to read caramel colour as the third ingredient. I am very allergic to colour in food. I won’t try this again.
