Wow what great news. I wish all airlines especially Virgin Atlantic would follow suit 🙏
With global interest in Veganuary reaching new heights Emirates has observed a 40% increase in customer demand for plant-based meals. In response, the airline plans to roll out a variety of new vegan dishes in 2024, both onboard and in lounges, further expanding its 'vegan vault,' which already boasts over 300 carefully crafted plant-based recipes.
“Refined vegan cuisine is an important consideration at Emirates, as numbers of vegan customers continue to rise globally, and many non-vegan customers opt for vegan cuisine when flying, as a lighter option often considered easier to digest.” the major airline said in a statement.
“Emirates continues to expand its portfolio of vegan cuisine by workshopping new dishes made with innovative ingredients, such as a lookalike solid egg substitute made entirely from legumes, which packs a tasty and nutritional punch for Emirates customers, as well as adding curated vegan meals for children, and new dishes onboard and in lounges.” they added.
Emirates offers a variety of vegan delights across all classes, some options include:
Economy: Enjoy dishes like chickpea crepes, tofu tikka masala, or kale stew, paired with desserts like coconut mousse or chocolate pudding.
Premium Economy: Savor jackfruit curry or squash chestnut stew, followed by chocolate tofu cheesecake or raspberry parfait.
Business: Indulge in roasted cauliflower or tofu ragout with glass noodles, finishing with coconut pineapple cake or chocolate cheesecake.
First Class: Relish polenta cake or aubergine curry, with desserts like rhubarb charlotte or warm chocolate fondant.
Vegan options are available to order and pre-order onboard, as well as in Emirates Lounges.
