There’s a small but growing community of vegans in Saudi Arabia that are truly doing their best to create a platform to unify other potential vegans in the Kingdom.<\/p>\n

But, before we get carried away with learning about veganism, its community and how well the message is being carried out- let’s first attempt to define it.<\/p>\n

What is veganism?<\/h4>\n

Veganism is defined in a number of ways, perceived in a myriad of ways and either loved or hated in a million ways. Essentially, it is a type of diet (very much akin to the vegetarian one) except it excludes the consumption of all animal-derived ingredients.<\/p>\n

So that means no meat, eggs or dairy products and sometimes even refined white sugar (due to its use of animal products.)<\/p>\n

Some people take on a vegan diet for reasons such as either health, for the animals or the environment. The spread of veganism keeps growing around the world as something beyond just a ‘trend’, as has been the case in the Middle East and now gradually in Saudi too.<\/p>\n
