Vegan is one of the lifestyles that is starting to be popular with people today. Before discussing further, let’s find out first, what does vegan mean? Vegan itself is a term for someone who does not consume animal meat and all types of processed foods that come from animals.
As a lifestyle, vegan has benefits including:
- Avoid diabetes, obesity and cholesterol
Being a vegan means we consume healthy plant sources and help reduce the risk of diabetes to obesity.
Based on several sources, people who consume vegan foods have lower blood sugar levels than non-vegans.
- Ideal weight
On average, vegan foods contain less saturated fat than animal products. In addition to low fat, eating vegan is also low in calories, making it easier to achieve a healthy and ideal weight.
- Rich in nutrients for the body
Food sources for someone who is vegan are fruits, vegetables, grains and nuts.
These foods contain many nutrients, including fiber, magnesium, vitamins, potassium and folic acid.
With these many benefits, of course the biggest taboo for vegans is being consistent in choosing food. One of them is snacks, including candy. Until now, there are still few vegan candy players in Indonesia, while based on data from the Indonesian Vegetarian Society (IVS), there are more than 2 million people in the country who have adopted a vegan lifestyle.
PT Inasentra Unisatya itself has been innovating to make vegan candy since 2019, this is proven by our product, Mr. Candy, which is exported to Korea. As for the change in the Vision and Mission of the PT Inasentra Unisatya company, we are opening up opportunities for maklon/OEM candy for producers who want to make candy with vegan claims for both Chewy Candy and Gummy Jelly. For those interested, please contact us via our email contact.
