Things That Are Vegan

Welcome to our list of things that are vegan!

While many people think of veganism as a diet, veganism is more a rejection of violence and oppression (in this context, specifically of animals). This is why vegans do not buy or consume anything that has been derived from an animal (as opposed to vegetarianism, where dairy and eggs are still consumed), and means that a vegan lifestyle encompasses choices around cosmetics, clothing, entertainment and more. In this list, we’ve done our best to collect as many vegan things for you, whether it’s cosmetics, cleaning products, clothing, or desserts.

Note: we’ve left out the obvious things, like fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, herbs, spices and mushrooms.
