These vegan and vegetarian innovations showcase the viral side of vegetables. From photoblogs that showcase vegan food recipes that can be made on a budget to vegan cosmetics, there's no shortage of meat and animal-free products here.
There are even twists on the traditional vegetarian diet to encourage die-hard meat-eaters to turn omnivorous--even if just for a day. Check out these and more vegetarian and vegan innovations below.
Implications - From vegan caviar to diets for casual vegetarians, vegetarian and vegan innovations are getting more inventive. As this lifestyle has become more incorporated into mainstream culture, there is a high demand for products that cater the specific rules of vegetarianism and veganism.
