Vegan Product Directory - South Africa

Vegan Roots South Africa offers a comprehensive listing of vegan products, restaurants, accommodation, recipes, events etc in South Africa.

Veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose.
There are many ways to embrace vegan living. Yet one thing all vegans have in common is a plant-based diet avoiding all animal foods such as meat (including fish, shellfish and insects), dairy, eggs and honey - as well as products like leather and any tested on animals.

There are multiple reasons someone might choose to adopt a vegan lifestyle. Some of the ethical reasons people choose to lead a vegan lifestyle include:

animal welfare issues and the objection to using animals as commodities
environmental issues directly associated with animal agriculture (such as air pollution and contaminated drainage from factory farming into water supplies) and to help lessen our over consumption of resources including land, water, and fossil fuels
adopting veganism as a part of the solution to world hunger by more efficiently using our planet’s food resources

Plant-based shopping is becoming more popular in South Africa because more people are choosing to eat vegan. This has led to the opening of stores and websites that focus on selling vegan products. These places offer a variety of vegan items, like plant-based meats and dairy alternatives. South African restaurants and cafes have also started adding vegan options to their menus. As more people realize the health and environmental benefits of eating plant-based foods, the availability of vegan products in South Africa will keep growing.

Vegan Roots South Africa will soon be bringing out a range of exciting products for the hospitality industry. In the next two months we will be offering hotels, b&bs and restaurants training to educate around "Vegan Friendly" hospitality. This will include an overview of vegan diet, recipes, food preparation etc.
