Tag: Cashew ethics

According to research, nuts are a cornerstone of many balanced vegan diets due to their nutrients. However, the belief that all nuts are suitable for a vegan lifestyle is a misconception, as some vegans don't eat nuts for reasons that go beyond the plant-based origin of the food itself.

While virtually all nuts are inherently plant-based, certain processed products can contain non-vegan additives, and a 2021 investigation by One Green Planet highlighted severe ethical concerns within the cashew industry. The question, "Are any nuts not vegan?" therefore requires a careful look at both ingredients and supply chains.
