IS VEGANISM POSSIBLE IN COLD COUNTRIES LIKE LATVIA? 👀🌱🇦🇹 Protein D - B12 and more!
IS VEGANISM POSSIBLE IN COLD COUNTRIES LIKE LATVIA? 👀🌱🇦🇹 Short answer: Yes! 😁 I even found nutritional yeast with B12 in Latvia! It’s great in homemade cheeses like nut-based parmesan, on tofu, or in pastas for umami taste and health. They also sell agar-agar here — a plant-based substitute for gelatin / pig fat, often otherwise used in cakes and much candy. I honestly was worried about being vegan in Latvia. Many people here don’t even know what a vegan is and think you will die without meat protein, sometimes even trying to kindly force you back on meat, like you are the sick one they worry about. But stay strong! 💪 There are vegan sections in bigger shops too, like Maxima or Rimi Hyper . They have big fruit and veggie sections, plenty of herbs, nuts, seeds, and beans — often even a better selection than in Denmark, honestly, and better prices too! They also have Lidl here. And yes, it’s harder without a car in forest areas without bus lines...
