Thank you.

My grandson will be visiting our Nephew & family (Vegans) in Austria next month and I am going to send them all a care package. Really having a hard time with including Vegan foods.

Anyone have a Vegan cookie recipe??

I think real pure Maple Syrup would be OK.

I think Minimalist Baker and Oh She Glows can help you. Also One Green Planet -- something like that. Good Luck !!

Do you have a Publix grocery store? I purchase vegan cookies in their deli. These are also sold on Amazon.

Why wouldn't they eat honey???? Seems natural enough and is not dairy or meat. I'm not sure about it. However the best honey you can eat (healthwise) is Manuka honey. Look it up and it is sold on Amazon.

I'm not sure if honey is allowed as you are taking away the source of food the bees made for themselves. also I think some bees meet their demise in the gathering and processing of the combs if they don't move fast enough. Processed granulated sugar is also a NO No for vegans unless it is organic. White sugar uses Bone Char in processing so that's the animal connection. Regular brown sugar is white sugar they put some molassess bck into.

There is still debate on the honey issue with vegans. Most true vegan will not eat honey. Honey is an animal byproduct and vegans do not consume any animal byproducts at all.

Honey bees actually make honey for themselves - food for the winter months. Thankfully they make more than they need so we get the surplus. When taking some of their stock - you are not killing bees - that's just their job and they live just a short amount of time.

@fthunt

That is true! But vegans (and as I said some debate it due to reasons of being vegan) will not eat animal byproducts. It doesn’t mean killing the animal. Just like milking a cow doesn’t kill her, it’s a byproduct.

Vegans I know do not eat honey or use products containing honey.

My daughter is vegan and will not eat honey. As said before...it is an animal by product.

My friend will not eat anything with "natural ingredients" Some animal products may be included this. Bugs are used in some things for coloring.

No, honey is not vegan. As a substitute in recipes I use Agave nectar. Bees are harmed in obtaining honey.

Nope.

There’s no debate.

Honey is not vegan (vegansociety.com)

Vegans do not consume animals or animal byproducts.

Period.

I am sorry if I stated this wrong. When I said debate I didn’t mean within the vegan community. But there are people out there who disagree that honey is an animal by-product. I know it is, but I have spoken to people where there was no convincing them that it is.
