Vary Your Diet And Order Vegan Food Online

By Marissa Velazquez


It's difficult enough being e vegan in a meat-eating society. Finding foods that are suitable is a challenge, especially if you have refined taste-buds. It's even more difficult if you don't have the time to shop around for specialty products and then have to spend hours in the kitchen. Luckily life can be made much easier if you simply order vegan food online.

A vegan is somebody who doesn't eat animal products. Where vegetarians won't eat meat or fish but will often eat dairy products and eggs, vegans won't eat anything that comes from an animal. This includes dairy, eggs and honey. The reason for this decision can be religious but veganism is growing as people are becoming more aware of the cruel practices involved in farming with animals.

Many meat eaters mistakenly believe that vegans don't like meat. However, many vegans used to love the taste and texture of meat and giving it up was no easy feat. Meat alternatives made of tofu or textured vegetable protein make things a little easier, increase the possibilities for a varied diet and also help vegans to consume enough protein to stay healthy. You're not limited to soy mince either. You can even get 'turkey' or 'chicken' nuggets or jerky.

Many vegetarians find it hard to give up dairy and become full vegans. Cutting out cheese, for example, would mean cutting out delicious foods like pizza. Things have become easier though with the increased availability of cheese made from soy, for instance. Soy can be problematic for some people since it wreaks havoc with estrogen levels in the body and many people are allergic to it. However, milk and yogurt made of almonds, coconut, rice and even oats are available now.

If you love baking, being a vegan can be a bit of a challenge. Many recipes call for the use of eggs, for instance. You can now get cake mixes that don't require the addition of eggs and there are even starch-based egg replacements on the market. Instead of gelatin, you can use cornstarch, agar or carrageen to make those wobbly jellies that remind you of childhood.

Few vegans have the time to stare at their navels and make dishes that require hours in the kitchen. Suppliers of vegan foods now boast ranges of convenience foods that you simply need to heat for a few minutes. Whether you want a simple soup or bowl of noodles or whether you want a full gourmet meal, you'll find a heat-and-eat version for vegans.

For those times in between meals, you may want something sweet to snack on. In the past your options would have been limited but now you can have all your childhood favorites like jelly beans and marshmallows without the gelatin. Chocolate comes in dairy-free versions and there are cookies that are not only suitable for vegans but for diabetics and the gluten intolerant as well.

The best way to order vegan food online is to go to a site that specializes in supplying to vegans. They will have a bigger variety than other stores and will also have a better understanding of your requirements. Many of these sites also sell other products suitable for vegans, from cosmetics to clothing and shoes, so visiting them is like going to a cruelty-free department store.
