Cultural Tip
In German‑speaking countries the term 'pflanzenbasiert' is popular among nutritionists and the vegan community, but many people still use the shorter 'vegan'. When speaking to older generations, 'vegan' may be more immediately understood, while 'pflanzenbasiert' sounds a bit more scientific or health‑focused.
