Veganism is becoming more and more common – it’s a fact. A research conducted by the Brazilian newspaper Folha de S. Paulo in 2016 can prove that: businessmen of the vegan sector pointed out a 40% increase in sales in 2015. And it’s not only because the number of vegan and vegetarian people is growing, since even people who aren’t part of the practice are enjoying this kind of food.
If you live in São Paulo or want to visit the city, check it out some cheap vegan restaurants to go:
