A well balanced vegan diet includes something from each of the following food groups: Fresh and dried fruits. Vegetables, including green leafy vegetables. Wholegrains and grain product - e.g. barley, rice, sweetcorn, wheat: wholemeal bread, pasta, rice cakes. Nuts. Pulses (peas, beans and lentils). Seeds - e.g. sunflower, sesame, pumpkin . It's a good idea not to overcook vegetables, and where possible, to save the cooking water for stocks and soups. For greater health benefits include raw vegetables. Some people find fortified soya products useful. A dietary supply of vitamin B12 can be ensured by the use of fortified foods - e.g. most yeast extracts; soya milks, cereals, margarines or naturally containing the vitamin, such as edible seaweeds, spirulina, tempeh and mushrooms. Vitamin D is contained in fortified foods - e.g. soya milks, margarines and naturally in mushrooms, but is most easily derived from the action of sunlight on the skin
