Vitamin B12. My Vegan Experience
Vitamin B complex plays an important role in the process of nutrient conversion from the food we eat into energy.

Veganized Beshbarmak (National Dish of Central Asia)

I am not sure about English content, but in Russian-language resources, vegetarianism is often equated with veganism somehow, so as a result, […]
Vegan Lazy Dumplings with Pumpkin (Central-Asian Style)

Fresh Salad with Chickpeas and Broccoli Sprouts
Salad and smoothie are the main sources of vitamins and minerals in our diet. A lot of people love salads, but in my case it took me a while to make friendship with it. I used to eat salads quite a bit, like children when they eat something they don’t like just to get their […]
