Sheffield’s quarterly Vegan Market took place on the Moor on Sunday with hundreds turning out to try the products on offer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The market, which first took place in 2015, featured a range of around 25 stalls, including street food vendors, artisan bakers, ethical jewellers, local artists, environmental charities and lots more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Becky Gorton, 19, who is vegan, said: \u201cI’m a student here so I didn\u2019t realise that there was a regular vegan market in Sheffield until today, but I think it\u2019s great and I will definitely go to the next one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m also gluten free, but all the stalls here are very aware of nutritional needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s nice to be able to buy food and not have to worry about what the ingredients are.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The market’s street-food stalls featured a range of other international cuisine styles, such as Caribbean, Indian and Turkish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gerda Juozapaviciute, creator of \u2018Plantuguese,\u2019 a Portuguese street food company who had a stall on Sunday, said: \u201cWe travel all around the UK and this is one of the busiest markets we\u2019ve seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am vegan and my partner is Portuguese, and we thought that the vegan community was missing that type of food.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the number of people on vegan diets in the UK constantly increasing, Sheffield has seen a growing number of vegan options in restaurants, as well as many exclusively vegan restaurants opening across the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ash Faulds, 19, another student who visited the market, said: \u201cI\u2019m not vegan myself but I enjoy the culinary challenge of making vegan meals and going to markets like these always gives me loads of ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many of the food stalls put a plant-based twist on popular dishes like hot dogs and desserts to show how easy it is to implement vegan meals into your diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Miss Juozapaviciute said: \u201cI think everybody should be vegan; it’s better for the environment and has so many other benefits; in my opinion it’s the best lifestyle and everyone should at least give it a try.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next market is due to take place on Sunday 28 July, and stall owners have said they are expecting to see even more customers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
