What is vegan?

Before we discuss vegan cream recipes, it's good to know the term vegan first. Maybe there are still many people who still think that vegan and vegetarian are the same two things. In fact, both of them are different, you know.

As we know, vegetarianism is generally understood as a diet that does not consume all types of meat, fish and poultry. However, vegetarians are still allowed to consume processed animal products such as milk, eggs, cheese, butter and so on.

Meanwhile, vegan, also known as veganism, is a way of life and a way of eating that does not exploit or commit cruelty to animals. So, people who adopt the vegan lifestyle choose to do not consume any processed animal products, including milk, eggs, cheese, and so on. Those who go vegan only choose to eat 100% plant-based foods such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and nuts.
