World Vegan Day Try These Recipes At Home

World Vegan Day encourages cruelty-free products, a healthy lifestyle and a better tomorrow. Hence, a plant-based lifestyle is gaining popularity each year as people understand the value of our ecosystem and shift to this lifestyle.

"A vegan lifestyle is a philosophy and way of life that seeks to prohibit the use of animals for food or other products while accepting all other non-animal dietary options," says&nbspJasmine Bharucha, Founder of Katharos Foods. "A vegan diet is said to be beneficial in preventing diseases such as heart disease, certain cancers, type 2 diabetes, arthritis, and lung and kidney disease. It is high in fibre and low in cholesterol because it is primarily plant-based. What else could we want from a healthy diet This World Vegan Day, try something special while taking care of your health. We have curated a special Tea cake recipe with the Institute of Hotel Management (IHM) Mumbai during a vegan cook-off competition".
