Abstract

Sprouts and microgreens we can include it as vegan diet. A vegan diet comprises only products derived from plant sources. A vegan diet excludes eggs, meat, and even dairy products. Being a vegan can be a religious, lifestyle, or dietary choice. Some people who are on a vegan diet also avoid honey. Some also refrain from using clothes, cosmetics, and other products that use animal parts. Some adopt this lifestyle for its sustainable environmental benefits. A vegan diet includes plenty of fruits, beans, seeds, and vegetables. The crux of any vegan diet is the variety of these food items we consume to suffice the requirement of various vitamins, minerals, proteins, and healthy fats. A vegan has to be cautious about nutrients like iron, calcium, vitamin B12, vitamin D, and proteins that we usually get in animal products. People often take veganism and vegetarianism as the same thing. But actually, it is not. Vegetarians, though, do not consume meat, but they consume dairy products like milk, eggs, or both. On the other hand, the vegan diet is more restrictive and relies only on the plant-based nutrient source.
