Coffee is more than a delightful beverage; it has become a part of our morning routine! The smell of freshly brewed coffee gets us out of bed in the morning. The taste of freshly roasted beans, brewed to perfection with a kick of caffeine, starts our day.

The best part about coffee is that it does not discriminate against any diet! Because coffee beans, and therefore coffee, come entirely from plants, it's loved and accepted by all diets, even Vegans!

What is a Vegan Diet?

A vegan diet is free of animal-based foods such as meat, dairy products, eggs, and honey. Therefore, the following foods ARE vegan and are free of animal by-products:

• Vegetables
• Fruits and berries
• Rice, wheat, and other grains
• Beans, tofu, and tempeh
• Soy milk and nut milk
• Nuts and Seeds
• Vegetable oils

In today's world, the word "vegan" pertains to much more than what you don't eat. A lifestyle known as veganism aims to eliminate all uses of animals in products such as clothes, food, and other products. Living a vegan lifestyle is chosen for moral reasons.

There are several variations of the vegan diet; however, when referring to veganism in general, these diets are rarely differentiated. 

• Whole-food vegan diet: This is based on whole plant foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds.
• Raw-food vegan or thrive diet: This diet is based on raw or entire plant foods cooked at low temperatures of 118°F (48°C).
• Low-fat vegan diet: This diet incorporates the raw-food vegan diet but limits fat-rich plants such as nuts and avocados and relies on raw fruits and soft greens. 
• The starch solution: This diet focuses on cooked starches such as potatoes, rice, and corn instead of fruit.
• Raw till 4: This diet allows a cooked option plant-based meal for dinner. However, the low-fat vegan or starch solution diet is consumed until 4:00 p.m.
• Junk-food vegan diet: This diet focuses heavily on non-meats and cheeses (protein such as tofu), fries, vegan desserts, and other processed vegan foods. 

Confusion between vegans and vegetarian happens often. There is just one slight difference between the two diets, but it's the most significant.

Vegetarians don't eat meat or fish (so no animals) but allow eggs and dairy products into their diets (do allow animal by-products). At the same time, vegans don't eat anything from animals or animal by-products (including meat, dairy products, eggs, or honey).

• Vegetarian: Does not consume meat, poultry, or seafood. Does consume eggs and dairy products. 
• Vegan: Does not consume meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, dairy, or any other ingredients that are produced from animals (such as honey and gelatin). Being vegan also extends to a lifestyle change by not using any materials that come from animals, including leather, fur, wool, and silk, along with household products such as cosmetics and soaps that are made with or tested on animals.
