Get Rollin’ with These 20 Innovative Vegan Sushi Recipes

You don’t need raw fish to enjoy mouthwatering sushi! These 20 vegan sushi recipes use ingredients like tofu, sweet potato, and bell pepper to create unbelievable rolls and bowls.

Vegan sushi is not just incredibly delicious. It’s better for animals and the environment. Several scientists around the world have shown that fish not only feel pain but are aware of it and can suffer consciously. Fish even feel pleasure in ways similar to dogs, cats, and other animals. But sadly, fish are among the most abused animals on the planet. On top of that, the fishing industry is emptying our oceans of fish and damaging fragile aquatic ecosystems.

Eat better and stand up for our planet by choosing delicious vegan sushi.
