Tag: Is wheat vegan

Contrary to the premise, pure, unprocessed wheat is a plant and therefore entirely vegan. The widespread question 'Why is wheat not vegan?' arises from the animal-derived ingredients often added to popular processed wheat products like bread, cakes, and pasta.

Evidence suggests humans have cultivated wheat for around 12,000 years. Despite its plant-based origin, many wonder, "why is wheat not considered vegan?" when examining common wheat-based products like bread and pasta.
