There are many variations of vegetarianism.
We will tell you in the article what types exist and what you can eat as a vegetarian.
What is vegetarian food
Vegetarianism is a type of diet in which a person consumes plant and dairy products, with the exception of fish and meat.
People who adhere to a vegetarian diet completely avoid eating all types of meat, poultry, and also do not eat seafood and fish.
These products should also not be stored in finished dishes. For example, in salads, sauces or broths.
The diet of vegetarians usually includes foods such as mushrooms, legumes, cheeses, dairy products, a large number of vegetables, fruits and berries, as well as various types of nuts, grains and herbs.
Meat is often replaced with soy, chickpeas, peas, beans, and tofu.
Veganism is a way of life that excludes all forms of cruelty and exploitation of animals.
Vegans, unlike vegetarians, refuse all foods of animal origin and even honey.
Their diet excludes dairy products, eggs, honey, fish, and seafood.
What types of vegetarianism are there
There are lacto-vegetarians. Among animal products, only dairy products are eaten.
That is, they eat vegetables, grains, legumes, fruits and dairy products.
For example, cottage cheese, milk, cream, butter, yogurt, cheeses.
Ovo-vegetarians eat only eggs from animal products.
At the same time, they do not eat not only meat and fish, but also all dairy products.
Lacto-ovo vegetarians eat both dairy products and eggs from animal products.
