Honey. Honey is a controversial food for many vegans. Bees do produce it, and it is also a food source in the hive. Because bees produce it, and bees have died to make it, honey is not considered vegan.

From this, Ottolenghi has developed a style of food which is rooted in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean traditions, but which also draws in diverse influences and ingredients from around the world.

Because many vegetarians grew up eating meat, so the taste is familiar to them, but also because many of the meat substitutes are high in protein. Yet, no animals were harmed or died in the making of that protein.

Intake and status of vitamin B12, vitamin D, iron, zinc, iodine, calcium and bone turnover markers were generally lower in plant-based dietary patterns compared to meat-eaters. Vegans had the lowest vitamin B12, calcium and iodine intake, and also lower iodine status and lower bone mineral density.

What is vegan umami? Vegan umami refers to the savory taste found in plant-based foods, without using any animal products. Ingredients like mushrooms, tomatoes, fermented foods like miso and soy sauce, nutritional yeast, and seaweeds are all rich in natural umami flavors and suitable for a vegan diet.

Natural flavors are food additives designed to make processed foods taste irresistible. These flavors can come from vegan-friendly sources, but they can also be derived from animal products.

Vinegar and Mirin. In addition to fishy and salty, we need to tackle sour. That's where vinegar and mirin (rice wine) comes in. Like soy sauce, vinegar is both fermented and fermenting and is therefore a logical component of any vegan fish sauce (which is also fermented and fermenting).
