Plant-based is a diet or lifestyle that primarily revolves around consuming foods that come from plants. A plant-based diet emphasizes the consumption of fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains, nuts, seeds, and other plant-derived foods, while minimizing or excluding animal products like meat, dairy, eggs, and other animal-derived ingredients. All the recipes on my website are fully vegan, but I choose to use the term plant-based because it emphasizes eating more plants while promoting a more relaxed culture that is less exclusive.
