A plant-based diet is a diet consisting mostly or entirely of plant-based foods.[1][2] Plant-based diets encompass a wide range of dietary patterns that contain low amounts of animal products and high amounts of fiber-rich[3] plant products such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds.[4][5][6] They do not need to be vegan or vegetarian,[7][8] but are defined in terms of low frequency of animal food consumption.[4][7]
