Tofu

Tofu is a great, nutritious food which is very popular in both vegetarian and vegan kitchens. It is one of the most widely used new products and is prepared from soy beans, water and solidifying elements.

Tofu is an excellent source of protein for those who do consume animal free foods, in addition to helping to lower blood cholesterol. Some of the most popular recipes that you can make with tofu in your kitchen are stews, ramen, miso soup and curries, where the tofu product replaces meats and cheeses.

Quinoa

Another of the most popular plant foods in the kitchen, even among non-vegans, is quinoa. This is a grain very similar to amaranth, since it comes from the same plant family. When cooked with a little water, this grain expands like rice and can be used in a range of recipes from stews, to pastry to create doughs for desserts.

Quinoa is high in protein, phosphorus, and Omega 3 and has the enormous benefit of being a gluten-free product. You can buy quinoa now in practically any food store so put it on your list!

There are many cheese lovers out there who have had to set aside their love of cheese since adopting a vegan diet.
