10 Vegan Food Hacks That Will Change Your Life! 💥🌱💪

Another avocado tip that most people don't realize is that avocados ripen from the top down, the way they hang from the tree. If you want to know if it's ripe, don't squeeze the sides. Press its bottom. If the bottom is soft, the whole avocado is ripe.

Solid stuff here.As a vegan of 34 years and retired vegan restaurant owner.This is a good channel for newbies to plant based.Just refrain from telling the the host how to produce his videos!.I will never understand why people complain about the music or a tiny detail.Cultivate Grace instead of complaining.Stay HAPPY!

Frozen veggies are fantastic especially for someone living alone because fresh produce would often go bad before I had a chance to eat it all.

If you want your fresh herbs to last even longer, use an old florist trick that is commonly used for fresh flowers: Use room temperature water and add a pinch of sugar and a few drops of lemon juice to it. The sugar feeds them, while the citric acid in the lemon juice acts as a natural preservative. Don't forget to change the water every few days or bacteria and mold can start to grow in it. Each time you change the water, rinse and trim a little off the ends of the stems again, before setting them into the fresh water.

i was the guy who said i dont like the way you make recipes a few years ago cause i was on a pure trip and u replied saying you dont like the way i comment, i just wanna say i feel the total opposite today, id say your number 1 bro

bro I went vegan in September 2019 after discovering your channel, and it changed my life. My brother is vegan now too and my parents are getting better. You showed me the light and I took off from there. I always give you credit for helping me get to where I'm at now. <3

One vegan hack that saved me lot of money was growing my own mug beans and bean sprouts in a jar. They’re so expensive but really cheap to grow them!

Seriously, some of the most useful content and unpretentious presentation on YT.

My tip for newer vegans: at first don’t just make your old recipes and replace non-vegan things. Instead: find a bunch of simple vegan recipes that you think you’ll like and make those.

I’m an old lady vegan !!! Been vegan forever so I know most of these tips ( except the green onions in water) but I think what you are doing is great. Most beginning vegans are a bit lost and your information and down to earth presentation is really terrific and I think it would be super helpful. 💚🤙

Once you make your guacamole, add a thin layer of salsa to the top before you store it in the fridge to prevent or slow the browning process..! Lentils can be turned into tofu, this I learned from you! Sprouting lentils and other seeds, grains, and nuts, is a food hack.

Derek you are the reason me and my family stay vegan. You are a legend

Wow what an amazing video. I've decided to go vegan but I live on the West Coast of Africa and frankly the electrical supply is poor at best!😢 Your demonstration of placing green vegetables in water is brilliant. Over many years, I have lost so much produce to spoilage because I didn't know how to preserve vegetables in my current condition. I love the entire video and feel inspired to begin my Vegan Journey immediately!

When your avocados are perfectly ripe, put them in water in a container in fridge and they will stay perfect for a couple of weeks. It’s like magic honestly. Try it

It’s amazing how much we lose common sense, who would have thought to bring veggies home and keep them by the stem in water…because we were taught to throw everything in the fridge. LOVE this, thank you so much!!

You know you're a level 7 vegan when you have a bulk brown paper bag of nooch

These hacks are spot-on! Just one thing to add: if you grind a lot of flax seeds at once, you will need to store the result in a light-tight container because flax breaks down in light without the shell on.

If you plant the bottom ends of the spring onions , onions, celery, lettuce, carrot and beetroot tops in pots or the ground they will regrow. You can eat the beetroot leaves, the carrots make pretty flowers that attract and feed the bees. You can use the celery leaves. Many weeds are also edible fat hen or lambs quarters, stinging nettles, sow thistle, cleavers etc. It is worth getting to know them and to learn what can and can’t be eaten. They make good substitutes and additional greens when other things may be in short supply, out of season or expensive. 🦋
