Common Questions About Vegan

Is honey vegan?

No. Honey is an animal product, so vegans avoid it. Maple syrup and agave are common substitutes.

How do vegans get B12?

Through fortified foods or a supplement. B12 cannot be reliably obtained from plant foods alone.

Can I get enough calcium without dairy?

Yes. Fortified plant milks, calcium-set tofu, kale, and bok choy are strong sources.

Is all sugar vegan?

Usually, but some cane sugar is filtered with bone char. Choose organic or beet sugar if concerned.

What replaces eggs in cooking?

Flax or chia eggs, mashed banana, applesauce, or commercial egg replacers, depending on the recipe.
