5 Food Items That Are Surprisingly Vegan

Go Vegan

For all the vegan monks out there, let’s add some masala to your platter! Turning vegan or being a vegan is no more a tasteless affair with Masala Monk’s array of products that shout ‘delicious’ in every possible form.  With the rising awareness on animal rights and global warming happening due to human consumption of animal meat, veganism is on the march, and even we jumped into the vegan wagon, but with a twist. We curate food products that are deliciously sinful, but not ethically. Moreover, the usage of fresh wholesome ingredients balances the nutrition missing in a vegan diet.

To be honest, all we had in mind was to help small vendors grow fresh products and deliver them directly to our customers post-processing. And in the process, we never realized we are contributing to the vegan world as well. With our unique creation of ‘vegan in a jar’ using fresh and exotic ingredients, we bet being vegan had never been this delicious and exciting.

Selecting a vegan dish is not an easy task as it involves a lot of research on whether every ingredient in the dish is vegan. But this blog will spice up your vegan lifestyle and make your animal-free eating simple and easy to maintain.

Vegan Spreads: In Masala Monk we care and respect the vegan diet and here we present to you a range of spreads to add flavour and nutrition to your daily breakfast. The unsweetened Chocolate Hazelnut Butter is just a raw mix of roasted hazelnuts and 100 per cent natural cocoa powder. Use it as a spread on a well-toasted slice of your favourite bread or use it as a dessert sauce and spread over pancakes and cakes, or just lick it like that. For a healthier version, check out Almond Butter, a jar full of nutrition and deliciousness. Or, how about Chocolate Peanut Butter for a change? The gooey peanut butter blended with the rich flavour of pure chocolate is the perfect product to say out loud, ‘vegan is not a tasteless diet’. But if you like the taste of classic peanut but, you get the option to choose how you like the texture of your peanut butter – chunky or smooth.

Oh, did you know that nuts are high on proteins! So go, spread the word that one need not be cruel to animals to suffice their protein intake. And with Masala Monk’s wide array of nut butters, protein intake for vegans just got delicious.

Jamun Relish: Paint your tongue purple and say hello to the new item in your vegan menu. This lip-smacking jam made out of fresh, juicy, plump jamuns, will make your vegan snacking more interesting. Dive into your fond childhood memories as you relish the sweet-sour fruit with a dash of green chilly. Available in a preserve able jar, pair it with your favourite snack and forget about boring vegan snacking.
