What Can Vegans Eat?

Even though vegans do not eat meat or any animal products, they still get the same amount of protein and minerals etc. as a person who eats an animal based diet. There are many plant based proteins available.


For example:

Tofu:

Tofu is a plant based protein made from condensed soy milk which is pressed into blocks.

Tofu also contains iron and other minerals which are important to maintain general health.
