WORLD VEGAN DAY: TOFU SCRAMBLE WITH VEGETABLES

The vegan movement is on the rise in Brazil. 14% of the Brazilian population identifies as vegan or vegetarian, according to Vegan Business.

Beyond health benefits, many people adopt vegan diets considering the significant environmental impact of meat production. Cattle ranching, for example, is one of the main contributors to a large portion of greenhouse gas emissions, excessive use of natural resources (such as water), and deforestation.

Thus, World Vegan Day is a perfect opportunity to celebrate this growing awareness and lifestyle. So, how about celebrating by preparing a vegan recipe?

The Tofu Scramble with Vegetables is a perfect choice for a healthy lunch. In vegan meals, it's always important to consider the protein source, and in this case, tofu plays that role and is complemented by the nutrients from the vegetables.
