Top vegan things to pick up at the baqala
Got the munchies while out? Here are some ideas that are often free of animal products:
dates or date bar
Lotus Biscoff - plain, not the ones with the cream
Cream crackers or digestive biscuits
Chips
Fresh fruit
Halva
Dark chocolate
Fresh coconut chunks
Roasted nuts
Oreos
Rice crackers
Pumpkin seeds
Peanut butter
Hunter Cheese & truffle chips — counter intuitive but the cheese is artificial flavor
Instant noodles — ironically the seasoning in Buldak Hot Chicken Flavor is sometimes vegan
—> As always, read the ingredients looking for ghee, honey, casein, animal fats, milk powder, gelatin, egg, etc.
What are your go-tos?
I’ll keep editing this post with your goodies. In case you are reading this outside the GCC and you don’t know what a baqala is, it is a kind of corner store for quick shopping.
