Dessert options for Vegans and Vegetarians

What is Vegetarianism?
Vegetarianism is a broad term that includes various dietary practices which exclude meat, poultry, and fish. However, within vegetarianism, there are subcategories that vary in the extent to which animal products are avoided. For e.g. lacto-ovo-vegetarians include dairy and eggs in their diet, while lacto-vegetarians exclude eggs but include dairy. Similarly, pescatarians include fish in their diet.

What is Veganism?
Veganism is a type of vegetarian diet that excludes all animal products, including dairy, eggs, and even honey. Vegans may also avoid using non-food animal products, such as leather or wool, for ethical or environmental reasons.

The difference between Vegan & Vegetarian diet??
The main difference between a vegan and a vegetarian diet is that a vegan diet excludes all animal products, while a vegetarian diet may include some animal products, such as dairy or eggs.

What are the reasons of following a Vegetarian or a Vegan diet?
There are various reasons why people choose to follow a vegan or vegetarian diet, including health, ethical, and environmental reasons. Some studies have suggested that plant-based diets can be beneficial for overall health, while others may choose to avoid animal products for ethical reasons, such as concerns about animal welfare or the environmental impact of animal agriculture.

Dessert options for Vegans & Vegetarians
TWith people’s ever changing dietary choices, the question arises of  what are the choices available. With vegans and vegetarians avoiding different forms of dairy and eggs… gelato and sorbet can be options.

Sorbet is a frozen dessert that is typically made with fruit, sugar, and water. It can and is quite a popular choice for those following a vegan or vegetarian diet because it is dairy-free and does not contain any animal products.

Gelato, on the other hand, is a frozen dessert that is similar to ice cream but has a higher milk-to-cream ratio, resulting in a denser and creamier texture. Gelato typically contains dairy and may also include eggs, which means it is not a suitable option for those following a vegan diet. However,  there are some vegan options available, made with non-dairy milk, such as almond or soy.

Gelato can also be considered suitable for lacto-vegetarians who consume dairy products. However, it may not be suitable for ovo-vegetarians who avoid dairy but consume eggs. Although, Sorbet would be a better choice for both vegan and vegetarian diets as its completely plant based.
