Meat-free diet - clarification of terms
Vegetarian and vegan products have triumphantly arrived in our societies.
Meat-free diet has special requirements. It should be balanced and tasty. However, a meat-free diet does not have to mean sacrifice, which is proven by meat alternatives of the MOGUNTIA FOOD GROUP.
Vegetarianism
A vegetarian diet is based on plant foods. It excludes meat, fish and derived products including lard and gelatine. However, eggs, milk, dairy products and honey are permitted, depending on which type of vegetarianism one chooses. Depending on whether milk and eggs and their derivatives are consumed or not, vegetarian diet can be further differentiated as follows: lacto-vegetarian, ovo-vegetarian, ovo-lacto-vegetarian, pescetarian and flexitarian.
Veganism
Those who choose a vegan diet do not consume animal products of any kind. The basis for vegan recipes are purely plant products such as vegetables, tofu, agave syrup, soy or oat milk, thus replacing meat, fish, milk, eggs or honey. Vegan diet strictly rejects the consumption of animal foods or foods with animal components. Although the choice of foods is clearly limited, vegan dishes can still be colourful and varied.
