What exactly is a plant-based diet?
Simply put, a plant-based diet is any diet that focuses consistently on foods primarily from plants, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, legumes and beans.
There are different interpretations, however. Some people include eggs and dairy, known as a vegetarian diet, others will include small amounts of fish and meat, a ‘flexitarian’ diet, and there are those who don’t eat any animal-derived products at all, such as vegans. What they have in common, though, is that most of their diets come from plants.
According to Vantage Market Research, the total global plant-based food market is expected to reach $110 billion by 2028, up from $56 billion in 2021.
