Today we celebrate the passion, beauty and health benefits of vegetarianism. This day brings forth many people from around the world to learn, take classes and be a part of food demonstrations to better their knowledge, understanding and taste for all vegetables. Here at Hamama, we really LOVE our veggies as you may have already guessed 😉 So much so that we ask one another what our favorite veggie of the week is when we have our zoom meetings, haha! We try to make it easy for all of you to pack in your veggies with our nutritious microgreens too!

World Vegetarian Day was founded by the North American Vegetarian Society (NAVS) in 1974 as a non-profit educational organization. With this organization, it helps inform others of the benefits vegetarianism has not only on humans, but animals and our environment as well.
