Frequently asked questions

What is Veganuary?

A challenge where you eat vegan for the whole month of January. It started in the UK in 2014 and has run every year since.

How do I get enough protein on a vegan diet?

Combine different sources over the day: pulses like lentils and chickpeas, tofu, tempeh, wholegrains, nuts and seeds. One protein source per meal is usually enough.

Do I need to take anything extra on a vegan diet?

Yes, vitamin B12. It’s found almost only in animal foods, which is why the German Nutrition Society (DGE) recommends a B12 supplement for vegans. Iodine and vitamin D are worth keeping an eye on too.
