Plant-based options refer to foods that primarily come from plants, including fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and seeds. These options can be whole foods or processed products designed to mimic animal-based foods, such as vegan burgers or dairy-free cheese. They are often chosen for health, environmental, or ethical reasons. Many people incorporate plant-based options into their diets to increase nutrient intake and reduce saturated fat. These foods can provide essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Popular plant-based diets include vegetarianism and veganism, which eliminate meat and all animal products, respectively, promoting a lifestyle centered around plant consumption.
