What Is a Vegan? 

A vegan is a person who follows a vegan diet, which is a type of plant-based diet that excludes all animal products. This includes meat, fish, dairy, eggs, and honey. Vegans also typically avoid using products made from animals, such as leather, wool, and cosmetics that are tested on animals. The reasons for becoming vegan can be varied, from ethical concerns about the treatment of animals to environmental concerns, health benefits, and many others.

What Is the Difference Between a Vegan and a Vegetarian? 

The main difference between a vegan and a vegetarian is that vegans exclude all animal products from their diet, while vegetarians exclude meat, fish, and poultry but may include animal by-products such as eggs, dairy, and honey in their diet.

Is Following a Vegan Diet Difficult?

A vegan diet can include a wide variety of foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. With careful planning, a vegan diet can provide all the necessary nutrients for a healthy life. However, some vegans may need to supplement their diet with certain vitamins and minerals that are typically found in animal products, such as vitamin B12 and omega-3 fatty acids. Vegans and vegetarians may also experience difficulty in finding vegan-friendly snacks to munch on throughout their day or finding vegan-friendly restaurants where they can enjoy a night out.

Are Plantain Chips Vegan Friendly?

Plantain chips are typically vegan-friendly as they are made from plantains, a type of banana, and do not contain animal products.

Plantain chips also offer health benefits that are great for vegan diets, which are traditionally low on vitamins and minerals found primarily in animal products. Some vegan health benefits of plantain chips are:

1. Fiber: Plantains are high in fiber, which can help promote regular bowel movements and lower cholesterol levels.
2. Potassium: Plantains are a good source of potassium, a mineral that helps regulate blood pressure and supports healthy muscle and nerve function.
3. Vitamin C: Plantains are also high in vitamin C, an antioxidant that helps protect the body against disease and supports a healthy immune system.
4. Complex carbohydrates: Plantains are a good source of complex carbohydrates, which provide a slow release of energy to help keep you feeling full and satisfied.
5. Low fat: Plantain chips are lower in fat than potato chips, and some brands are available that are made with minimal oil to lower the fat content.

What Makes Prime Planet’s Tostone Chips Different?

While plantain chips are vegan friendly, reviewing the label or certification is always recommended to ensure they are a plant-based snack that is not processed with any animal-derived ingredients, such as dairy products, eggs, or honey, or cross-contamination with animal products.

Prime Planet’s flavored plantain chips are certified vegan snacks. There are no animal products in any of our tostones chips, and our plantain manufacturing facility is free of any animal products, so cross-contamination is never a concern.
