OUR STORY
What’s vegan, what’s worth buying, and what to do with it
Vegan Pots answers the questions that come up in the shop aisle and in the kitchen: is this vegan, which brand is worth your money, and what do I do with it once it’s home. We cover food and drink, ingredients, supplements, beauty products and materials, plus the bigger debates that sit behind them.
We know the aisle from both sides. For about two years we ran a small vegan online shop. Once the big stores started stocking decent vegan ranges, we decided our time was better spent helping people make sense of those shelves than competing with them. Vegan Pots is what we do instead.
How we decide what’s vegan
Every verdict starts with the label. We read the ingredient list, look for recognised vegan certifications and, where the label leaves room for doubt, go by what the brand says about its sourcing. When something is unclear, we say it’s unclear instead of guessing. We don’t claim to have tested a product unless the article explains how. Recipes and formulas change, so treat a verdict as a snapshot and glance at the pack before you buy.
On health and nutrition we explain what the research says and where it runs thin. We’re not doctors, and our healthcare disclaimer spells out what that means.
Some links on the site are affiliate links, and the site shows ads. If you buy through one of those links, the shop pays us a small commission and your price stays the same. That money never decides a verdict: every recommendation names its drawbacks, and when a brand that pays us nothing is the better pick, that’s the one we recommend. The details are in our affiliate disclosure.
Gregory & Tara
Who we are
We’re husband and wife, and we’ve both been vegan since 21 April 2012. Gregory came to it as a sceptic. He used to believe you needed meat and dairy for a balanced diet, so he read study after study and book after book to make sure a plant-based diet really covers everything, protein included. He never stopped reading, and he also runs the technical side of the site.
Tara loves to cook and to invent new dishes, and over the years she has tried more vegan beauty products than our bathroom shelf can hold. She knows that aisle inside out. We both write.
