But First, What Is Vegan Bacon?

Vegan bacon contains no animal ingredients. That’s right! Instead of being made from cute little pigs, vegan bacon boasts plant-based sources. We are talking tempeh, seitan, soy, wheat, and more. You will also find spices and sweeteners like molasses, maple syrup, paprika, and natural smoke flavoring. We can’t think of a better pairing for your vegan eggs and toast!
