Vegan Food Science

Welcome to Vegan Food Science

The food chain begins with plant life. Mastery of cuisine must start with understanding food production, the kitchen arts, and nutrition. Here we dedicate ourselves to the study of vegan food science.

This site has two main goals:

• Serve as a reference for the food science of plant products. Our view is that food science starts with plants. Vegan food science is fundamental, and not "normal" food science minus the meat.
• Comparison of plant and non-plant food sources.
