Sweets - Which Ingredients Are Vegetarian and Which Aren’t?

All confectionary ingredients coming from plants are vegetarian. The ones which come from animals and are sourced naturally without them experiencing pain and suffering also fall into this category. Some of the main examples include milk, honey and eggs. On the other hand, the meat, bones, tendons and organs of animals and the ingredients which come from them are not vegetarian. You will not find them in our vegetarian sweets.

While it is clear which ingredients are suitable and which are not, it is difficult for vegetarians to find their way around traditional processed products, including sweets. This is mainly because many of the ingredients are chemical compounds which are extracted from animal products. While egg protein can be consumed by the mainstream vegetarians, this is not the case with protein derived directly from the meat. That is why it makes sense for people who have adopted this lifestyle to focus their attention on confectionary and other food products which are guaranteed to be vegetarian.

Many people wonder if gelatine is a vegetarian ingredient. The answer is that it is not. This is because it is derived from the bones and skins of animals, typically cows. How do vegetarian sweets get their soft and chewy texture than? There are compliant alternatives to this ingredient, which comes from animals. Rest assured that they produce an equally good result.
