One common misconception about the vegan lifestyle is that the range of food available to vegans is greatly limited. This could not be further from the truth—the focus is simply shifted to another direction. People convert to the vegan lifestyle for both moral and health reasons. This is a radical adjustment, but full-time vegans find it to be well worth the effort. Anything produced from an animal is exempt from the vegan lifestyle, especially the diet. Despite the absence of meat, fish and poultry, many delicious possibilities are still available in which to indulge.
 

Fruits and Vegetables Galore

To eat vegan means to eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Fruits familiar to Western civilization like grapes and oranges are fair game, as are vegetables like cucumbers and carrots. But vegan recipes and ingredients can concoct fantastical meals that people who were previously not vegan may have never discovered otherwise. You can mix up more well-known fruits and veggies with sublime Mediterranean greens like legumes and a lush, smooth dressing like olive oil. These rich tastes go down effortlessly and cleanly. Vegans can get their essential daily intake of protein by consuming vegetables such as spinach and broccoli, as well as a sprinkling of nuts on a salad.

Whole Grains for a Whole Meal

The benefits of whole grains have long been documented as being hugely beneficial for the human body, carrying vitamins and minerals in abundance and lowering the risks of life-threatening conditions like heart disease and stroke. Whole grains also make inventive sandwiches and wraps. Pita bread is a flatbread baked from whole grain bread that has become a hugely popular alternative to traditional white bread. Smooth on the taste buds and warm to the touch, pita bread is versatile to the point of being applicable to any meal you can create. It can also be converted into pita chips, wildly popular whole grains chips that go well with a side of hummus.

While more restaurants are catching on to the ever-growing devotion to the vegan lifestyle, Pita Jungle has always been a pioneer in the game, cultivating delicious salads and wraps that cater to vegans with the most opulent of flavors and ingredients. Fresh and made from scratch, these vegan-friendly meals are crafted from Mediterranean traditions that make fruits, vegetables and whole grains their primary focuses.
