What are plant-based ingredients?

Plant-based eating or plant based has gained prominence in recent years, not only as a trend, but as a healthier and more sustainable way of life. But what exactly does it mean for a product to be “plant based”? What ingredients does it contain, and how can it positively impact your well-being? 

In this article, we explain what plant based ingredients are, their benefits, and how Microbiotic Creamer and Well Blend from Baia Food fit perfectly into this nutritional approach.

What are plant based ingredients?

Plant based ingredients are those that come from plant sources. This includes:

• Fruits and vegetables: apples, carrots, spinach, bananas…

• Legumes: lentils, chickpeas, soy, beans…

• Grains and cereals: rice, oats, quinoa, whole wheat…

• Nuts and seeds: almonds, walnuts, chia or flax seeds.

• Other derivatives: such as plant-based milk, tofu, tempeh, seitan, and plant-based supplements.

Unlike strict veganism, the plant based concept does not completely exclude ingredients of animal origin, but it does prioritize plants as the basis of the diet.

Benefits of a plant based

Adopting products with plant based ingredients can bring multiple benefits to your body, your mind, and the planet:

• Digestive health: Plants are naturally rich in fiber, which supports intestinal transit and nourishes your microbiota.

• Reduced inflammation: Plant-based diets tend to reduce chronic inflammation thanks to their high content of antioxidants and bioactive compounds.

• More energy and lightness : By eliminating heavy and highly processed foods, your body feels more vital.

• Lower ecological footprint: The production of plant-based ingredients consumes fewer natural resources, contributing to a more sustainable lifestyle.
