The world is changing rapidly. Being vegan is now a very normal diet for all of us. Veganism or veganism is a diet based on the complete refusal to eat foods of animal origin. Unlike a vegetarian diet, not eating honey, milk and dairy products and not using clothes made from animals is the diet and lifestyle of vegans. In fact, vegans do not participate in areas such as circuses, bullfights and zoos, since they are basically built on the defense of animal rights and full equality in the world.

With the increase in the number of people who are vegan in today's world, there are restaurants and markets that serve only vegan food varieties in big metropolises. If you are on a vegan diet and are curious about the vegan shops on the European side, you can take a look at this article. We have compiled the best vegan shops on the European side for you.
